Equipments or device containing an electronic circuit board manufactured for everyday use are known as consumer electronic. Consumer electronics are primarily manufactured for the purpose of entertainment, communication and increasing productivity. Consumer electronics products are based on digital technology and are referred as completing the consumerization (reorientation of product and service designs around the individual end user) of information technology in the global market. Many consumer electronic products provide internet connectivity using technologies such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth or ethernet (computer networking technologies for local area networking (LANs) and larger networks). Traditionally, products such as TVs or Hi-Fi equipment were not associated with computer use. With technological advancement, these products are now manufactured with facilities that provide options to the end-users to connect to the internet or to a computer using a home network to provide access to digital content.

HVAC is a technology that provides indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Automotive HVAC system's main purpose is to provide thermal and acceptable air condition within the vehicle.

Plastic and competitive pipe is used for the conveyance of potable water, wastewater, heating and cooling fluids, foodstuffs, chemicals, gases, compressed air and vacuum system applications. Use of plastic and competitive pipe offers a broad range of advantages such as moderate cost, corrosion resistance, ease of handling and installation and long service life. These advantages further helps in the growth of plastics and competitive market. PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, ABS and CPVC are types of plastic pipe. Other pipe materials include steel, copper, concrete, aluminum, ductile iron and clay. PVC contributes the largest market share in plastics pipe.

Milk is an essential food in our diet because of its balanced composition of nutrients (proteins, lipids, glucids and minerals). It is used for the preparation of various food and beverage products. Dairy ingredients are food ingredients made from milk and are used in preparing various food products such as ice creams, chocolate, sports food, clinical nutrition, bakery-snacks, pork meat, ready-to-eat, prepared deserts and soups. Dairy ingredients are divided into various categories such as milk powder (dried form of milk manufactured by evaporating milk to dryness. Main purpose of drying milk is to preserve it as milk powder has longer shelf life than liquid milk and does not need to be refrigerated, due to its low moisture content), whey ingredients, milk protein concentrates & milk protein isolates (substance obtained by partial removal of non-protein constituents such as, lactose and minerals from skim milk so that the finished dry product contains 90% or more protein by weight) and lactose & its derivatives. Major end-users of dairy ingredients are bakery & confectionery, dairy, convenience foods, sports & clinical nutrition products.

Dietary supplements are also termed as food supplement or nutrition supplement. Dietary supplements are taken orally by various age group consumers who are unable to meet their nutrient needs through regular diet. Dietary supplements are offered in various forms such as capsule, pill, powder, gel caps, granules, tablet, energy bars and liquid. Various segments of dietary supplements are vitamins, mineral, enzyme, fiber, calcium, essential oils, herbal supplements and fatty acids. Rise in healthcare cost, fast lifestyle, growing economy, accelerating ageing population, increase in consumer health concern, rising urban population, and growing income level are some of major growth drivers for the global dietary supplements market.

Vitamins supplements are non-drug and non-hormone based nutritional products that can be consumed as powders, pills, liquids or by injection. There are various types of vitamins supplements such as vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. supplements are broadly classified under multivitamins and individual vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.

A carton is a box or container usually made of paperboard and sometimes corrugated fiberboard. Liquid packaging cartons are available in different shapes, sizes and designs according to the packager's need. Liquid packaging cartons are generally used in safe storage and secure transportation for liquid products. The liquid packaging cartons market can be segmented on the basis of type of liquid product and geography. Different segments of liquid products include water, dairy products, soft drinks and juices.

Spirit, also known as distilled beverage, is an alcoholic beverage manufactured by distillation (process of separating component substances from a liquid mixture by using process of vaporization and condensation) of a mixture produced from alcoholic fermentation. Distillation process is used to purify the mixture and to remove diluting components like water from the mixture for the purpose of increasing its proportion of alcohol content (alcohol by volume (ABV)).

Electric bus was first introduced globally in 1882 and is now gaining popularity due to increasing global concern on emissions. Buses are one of the most pollution emitting vehicles in a country which are mostly used as public transport. However there have been made several up-gradations in the engine technologies for evolve with the buses with least emission; however the increasing number of public transport due to the increasing population is raising the emission levels. The evolution and penetration of electric and hybrid and fuel cell buses in the global bus market has been observed to be the only solution for emission controls from public transport.

The increasing automobile production and changing customer preferences in the interiors of their vehicles have been driving the automotive interior materials market. The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been focusing largely on reducing the vehicle weight to increase their fuel efficiency which has been increasing their investment on the interior materials. Lighter vehicles consume less energy to accelerate as compared to their heavier counterparts. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can increase the fuel efficiency by 6%-8%. The unstable global crude oil prices are compelling the manufacturers to develop low weight vehicles which have been creating demands for automotive interior materials market. Moreover, with the reduction in weight, the vehicles can carry additional advanced emission control systems, safety devices and integrated electronic systems without increasing its overall weight. Additionally, increasing interest of American and European user towards smart fabrics has been further adding up to benefit the automotive interior materials market.

Automotive batteries are rechargeable batteries that supplies electric energy to automobiles, most essentially for automotive SLI (starting, lighting and ignition) system. Automotive batteries also provide power to automobile accessories such as radio, music players, air conditioners, wipers and charging plugs. Furthermore, the battery also serves as voltage stabilizer by absorbing abnormal transient voltages in vehicle electrical system. Based on the chemical composition the automotive battery market is broadly categorized in five different market segment, lithium ion (Li-ion), nickel–metal hydride (Ni-MH), nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), gasoline and lead-acid. The energy density per unit weight (Wh/kg) is highest in Gasoline batteries followed by Li-ion and Ni-MH and is least in Lead-Acid batteries. Lead-Acid batteries are an aging automotive battery technology. Due to its simple or mature technology coupled with fluctuating lead prices in last few years, much of the automotives batteries research is focused on drifting away from this technology.
