From Europe to Japan to Korea and China, the Industry Witnessed Changes in Domination Over Several Decades, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? The dynamics of the shipbuilding industry mirror major patterns underlining the global production, transportation and consumption of cargoes. The global Shipbuilding Industry cruised at high speeds during the period 2000 to 2007. The sailing was relatively good in the first three quarters of the year 2008 as well, before the impact of global financial crisis that rammed the global shipbuilding market in the fourth quarter of 2008. The direct effect of the crisis reflected in the order book of shipbuilders, which declined by 19% and 13% during 2009 and 2010, respectively, in terms of gross tonnage. However, with the global economy as well as trade recovering since mid 2009, new orders for shipbuilding recovered substantially in 2010. This translates to an increase in terms of number of ships in 2010, compared to 2009.

The global financial crisis that gripped the entire world had the least affect on the shipbuilding and repairing sector in the Middle Eastern countries. The Arabian Gulf, comprising of UAE (United Arab Emirates), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, have showed great resilience to the economic slowdown. The region?s ports and yards are currently the busiest, with over 2000 vessels docked in the ports for repairing works. This great resilience pertains to the growing marine transport sector of the region, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Over the past decade, the global shipbuilding industry has witnessed the growth of Korea and China as the leaders in the shipbuilding industry worldwide, relegating the erstwhile leader Japan to the third spot. South Korea took off the reigns from Japan during the years 1999-2000 in terms of order receipts. More recently, China surpassed Korea to become the global leader, as the country dominated the global shipbuilding industry in 2009 and 2010 in terms of gross tonnage. However, the focus on high-technology plant products and vessels, including oil and gas platforms, polar-navigating ships, very large containers ships, and eco-friendly vessels, provide Korean shipbuilders an edge over their Chinese counterparts. Despite this, certain small and medium sized shipbuilders in Korea are likely to experience difficult times ahead from their Chinese equivalents, which create the need for cooperation among domestic players and industry restructuring to win over the competition. Further, a major concern for the Chinese industry is the current slump in demand for bulk carriers, a ship type that Chinese shipyards specialize in building.

The battle between the two shipbuilding giants, Korea and China, to maintain the global dominance is well underway. Samsung Heavy Industries, a leading Korean shipbuilder, is at the forefront of this battle, filing as many as 1,100 patent applications in the year 2010. Korean Shipbuilders are ahead of their competition not just in terms of higher number of patent cases but also in terms of differentiated technological quality. One obvious factor driving shipbuilders to advance technology and eventually file for patents is to keep them ahead of competition by offering technologically advanced ships and win more orders.

A visible new trend is surfacing in the shipbuilding industry over the previous two decades, which is the emergence of shipyards in emerging nations worldwide including Brazil, India, Malaysia and Vietnam. Yet another key trend that has surfaced over the recent years is the increasing interest of shipping companies in shipbuilding activities. More and more shipping companies are investing in Shipyards worldwide in a bid to have a better control on the supply chain as well as to create better synergies.

The research report titled ?Shipbuilding and Repair Industry: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers a rudimentary overview of the industry, highlights latest trends and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include South Korea, China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Europe, United States, South Africa, Bangladesh, Brazil, Greece, Taiwan, Philippines, Canada, and the Middle East. The report offers a compilation of recent mergers, acquisitions, and strategic corporate developments. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.

Global Consumption of Alternative Energy to Reach 7756 Terawatt-Hours by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? Clean-tech energy is a major force enabling global economic recovery. Though countries primarily depend on conventional energy sources such as natural gas and coal, government incentives and rising environmental concerns are driving increased interest in renewable and nuclear sources. In addition to being a sustainable energy source, renewable sources of energy generate power without causing much damage to the environment. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable resources are widely available. Besides, renewable resources could eventually prove more cost effective as extraction of fossil fuels becomes prohibitively expensive when their reserves near depletion. Renewable energy is expected to increase its share in the global energy sector due to financial and governmental norms such as Feed in Tariff (FIT), investment tax credits, and production tax credits, along with measures aimed at including renewable sources into the energy matrix, such as the Kyoto Protocol. Declining prices of clean-energy technologies are expected to favor industry growth.

The global alternative energy market was largely resilient to the uncertainties brought on by the economic recession. The renewable energy sector was bolstered by government incentives and programs that were aimed at creating jobs and transforming industries. Over 100 countries introduced policy targets and incentives for promoting the renewable energy industry. Europe and the US installed more green energy capacity than fossil fuel power capacity during the recession, driven primarily by government subsidies. However few leading clean energy markets in Europe, including Italy and Germany were compelled to reduce subsidies for the industry due to the economic crisis. Apart from Europe and the US, renewable energy markets in developed economies such as Japan, Canada and Australia are growing at a healthy rate and are diversifying in terms of technology. In several developing countries, governments are employing renewable energy technologies including biogas digesters, micro-hydro minigrids, solar PV household systems, solar water heaters and wind and solar powered water pumps to provide electricity, clean drinkable water and heating.

The US, one of the largest consumers of energy in various forms, is actively pursuing renewable energy technologies, with wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal being the most successful sectors. As the initial cost of setting up plants/systems is high, the road to green power faces teething problems with regard to the power generated from these sources. Active government support, and state and federal programs such as the State Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) programs and Federal renewable fuels standard (RFS) programs favor growth of renewable energies.

Wind and solar power constitutes the most cost-competitive solutions for the global energy crisis. Majority of the sectors, including transport fuels, cooling, heating and power generation, registered robust growth and continued to attract investments during the recession, the only exceptions being biofuels and solar power sectors. In view of the lasting effects of ozone layer depletion, global warming, and the fleeting impact of total dependence on foreign countries for oil, automobile manufacturers, policy makers, researchers and environmentalists have been committed to develop alternative fuels for transportation purposes.

The research report titled ?Alternative Energy: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers an aerial view of the global industry, identifies major short to medium term market challenges, and growth drivers. Market discussions in the report are punctuated with fact-rich market data tables. Regional markets elaborated upon include United States, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, UK, Spain, China, India, Australia, Brazil, and Mexico, among others.

Precision Agriculture Systems and Services in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Revenue for the Precision Agriculture Systems and Services industry is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 1.3% during the five years to 2012. This rate hides solid growth during the earlier years as revenue grew every year except 2009. Recession-related dips in that year reduced the prices of the largest crops known to benefit from precision agriculture, including corn, soybeans and wheat.

According to IBISWorld industry analyst Josh McBee, ?demand from agribusiness, government assistance and technological change are the main drivers of this industry?s revenue.? Demand from agribusiness represents the various downstream markets that precision agriculture developers seek to serve. These markets range from farm machinery manufacturers to family-owned farms and publicly funded research operations. At the same time, each individual market within the overarching agribusiness umbrella is driven by a unique set of factors. For downstream farm operations, technological change is also important for enticing purchases, but government assistance in the form of subsidies plays a crucial role in providing the funds to do so.

In the five years to 2017, steady growth is set to continue for the industry. Revenue is forecast to increase from an estimated $ 1.3 billion in 2012. McBee adds that ?the 2012 Farm Bill will likely provide farm operators with incentives to adopt technology that increases efficiencies, while innovations within precision agriculture systems will make the technology more attractive regardless of outside persuasion. The reluctance or inability of some farmers to grasp the concepts behind precision agriculture and its technologies will remain an obstacle during the period. Nevertheless, farmers will increasingly accept precision agriculture, as penetration of broadband and mobile technologies in rural areas grows.?

IBISWorld believes that the Precision Agriculture Systems and Services industry exhibits medium barriers to entry. A rapid rate of technological change poses the most limiting factor for companies seeking to break into precision agriculture. In 2012, the four largest firms in the Precision Agriculture Systems and Services industry are expected to consume roughly 31.3% of revenue, indicating a low market share concentration. Despite operating in a growing, highly specialized industry and facing little competition from substitutes, the major firms are pressured by rapid technological change. Over the past five years, concentration has increased, as large corporations such as Trimble Navigation and Topcon have acquired specialized firms that produce relevant technologies. Over the next five years, rapid technological change will continue, and precision agriculture system technologies will become more widely available. As more firms tap into the industry, IBISWorld expects market share concentration to grow.

Increased Demand for Personal Concierge Services from the Corporate Sector Fuels Concierge Services Industry Growth, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? Amidst busy schedules and tight working hours, a lot of people find it useful to have an aid to help them enable to focus on high priority issues over those that demand equal attention yet could be taken care of by hiring concierge services. Concierge Services are available for every need, professional or personal, and are provided by experienced individuals/organizations that ensure complete reliability and security of getting a job done. ?You name it and you have it? seems to have become the mantra in the concierge services industry, with assistance available for various needs, be it relocation, shopping, gifts, dining, travel, home repairs, entertainment or healthcare. Provision of concierge services in the healthcare system is fast becoming a norm, with hospitals readily embracing this approach to generate extra income. Further, customers invariably opt for concierge services in matters related to the real-estate, the most common being recommendations for renovation contractors and help with municipal zoning authorities, among others.

Switching brand royalty is a common trend with customers able to avail better care and features from competing brands. Further, with a number of price comparison websites available, customers find it easier to switch brands based on price variability. The task of retaining customers has become rather challenging, considering the fact that customers tend to be very demanding and also taking into account growing consumer awareness.

Global Biotechnology Market to Surpass US$320 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

Follow GIA on LinkedIn ? Biotechnology industry was adversely affected by the global financial crisis, with several leading biotechnology companies in the US and Europe reporting fall in revenues amid restricted capital inflows, and project cancellations and delays. The industry however recovered strongly from the crisis with a number of major biotechnology companies registering profits largely due to the adoption of new efficiency and cost-saving measures. Improving economic conditions also led to an increase in funding for the industry, although majority of this capital was raised by a few leading companies. A number of smaller companies continue to face problems in raising funds for R&D purposes. The funding scenario is unlikely to change drastically in the near term future, as venture capitalists continue to adopt cautious approach to ensure risk-free investments.

The global biotech industry is led by the US, followed by advanced European countries such as the UK, France, Spain and Germany. Developing countries, especially India and China, are forecast to emerge as major agricultural and industrial biotechnology markets owing to rapid increase in population and income levels. The two countries are emerging as key markets for biotech drugs due to their rich talent pool and low cost of investment. Several biotechnology research centers are expected to be set up in developing regions to address impending problems such as growing need for drought and heat-resistant agricultural crops, clean water and low carbon energy. However, inadequate patent protection remains a major hurdle facing biotech drug makers in developing countries. Nevertheless, the governments of these countries are working towards enhancing their patent protection mechanisms.

Healthcare reform legislation, development of flexible/adaptive clinical trial designs and medical device and pharmaceutical taxes are expected to influence the global biotechnology market. The industry is expected to register healthy growth driven by improving healthcare infrastructure, higher involvement of private companies and developments in information technology. The industry is also expected to witness increase in mergers and acquisitions due to the patent expiration of several blockbuster drugs and introduction of newer healthcare regulations that are aimed at controlling costs. Smaller biotechnology firms would seek to divest their businesses to larger companies or enter into in-licensing collaborations and partnerships with cash-rich large companies owing to limited capital availability. Efficacy and safety regulatory policies, technological developments, human resources, public acceptance, human resources, intellectual property, business models and market structure are also expected to influence growth of biotechnology markets in future.

Biotechnology applications have increased manifold in recent years. Presently agriculture, food, health, medical and environmental sciences are the major end-use sectors. Human health dominates the biotechnology field followed by agriculture and industrial applications. Majority of the biotech investments are directed towards discovery of new drugs and therapies. Cardiology, oncology and inflammation constitute the major focus areas for biotech drug companies. Other therapeutic categories include diabetes, hormone treatment using human growth hormone and follicle stimulating hormones, antiviral antibody, anemia and other human enzymes and catalysts.

The research report titled ?Biotechnology: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers an aerial view of the global industry, identifies major short to medium term market challenges, and growth drivers.
