A power tool is a key instrument in the armamentarium of the operating room for many orthopedic surgeries. The adoption rates for orthopedic power tools vary in different regions, mainly due to price sensitivity. Globally, and driven by the orthopedic industry's continued innovation in cordless battery-powered systems as well as a better understanding of corded systems' downsides, the usage of pneumatic-powered tools has been declining in the past decade as surgeons adopt premium-priced electric and, more significantly, battery-powered systems. In contrast, in developing countries, electric- and pneumatic-powered tools currently represent highly valued equipment for orthopedic surgeons; moreover, this equipment should continue to remain important, especially in light of the developing countries' healthcare systems that cannot bear the substantial costs associated with capital equipment upgrades. Yet, a slow shift to battery-powered systems will still occur in these emerging economies, as players introduce the new-generation systems into these countries in the coming years and invest heavily in marketing and promotion.

DRAM is a type of random access memory used in various electronic devices such as PCs, smartphones, music players, laptops, netbooks, and tablet computers. The DRAM structure consists of a capacitor and a transistor that store each bit of data in a storage cell. Each capacitor can either be charged or discharged, equating to two values of a bit, i.e., 0 and 1, respectively. A DRAM enables electronic devices to access any part of the system memory directly and instantly, rather than by accessing the data in a sequential manner. DRAMs used in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, portable gaming devices, and PDAs are referred to as mobile DRAMs. Currently, the increasing adoption of mobile devices worldwide is fostering the demand for DRAMs.

Oral care products except for toothpaste are still underused in Bulgaria compared to other European markets. People think that just brushing your teeth is enough in order to keep them healthy and fresh and the rest are fancy and unnecessary products. Companies slowly started promoting the benefits of dental floss, mouth fresheners and mouth washes that also protect the gums and the entire mouth cavity, and also wanted Bulgarians to become aware of the perils of such diseases. Still, the predominantly younger and urban population is willing to give those products a chance as they are the ones taking most care of their looks and appearances.

Vitamins and dietary supplements sales in urban centres, such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, are driven by the fact that consumers typically have stressful lifestyles, as they are permanently immersed in traffic jams, pollution and crowded places, such as shopping centres and public transportation. As a result, many consumers living in big cities lean towards not eating so well during the week, mainly during lunchtime; therefore many of them end up eating fast food options instead of a well-balanced meal. Therefore, to compensate for this lack of nutrients due to their stressful lives, a large group of consumers use vitamins and dietary supplements compared with consumers that live in the countryside.
