Global Mobile Broadband Technologies & Services 3G/LTE - Key Forecasts and Analysis

Image
Here comes another run-of-the-mill Report…is probably you might be thinking when we talk of Mobile Broadband. Enough has been written about it over and over again and understandably, you might smirk at another Report on the same subject. But FourOrange Technologies has a different psychology altogether when it comes to research – Our Analysts, even though veterans in their field, never preen themselves on being ‘experts’; instead, they adopt a naive approach to every Research project, and ‘attempt’ to become ‘experts’. And that’s why when our sleuths are assigned any project, they dig right up till they obliterate the chances of anything being left out or overlooked regarding the subject. Mobile Broad Band Technologies 2012 – 2016 is another such attempt. 2010 was a disruptive year for the Telecom industry worldwide. This was probably the first time the industry realized t how mammoth the task is to manage the spiraling data traffic on their networks as it reached near

Global Outlook of Antibacterial Market 2012

Image
The discovery of antibiotics in the 1930s fundamentally transformed the way physicians care for patients, shifting their approach from a focus on diagnoses without means to intervene to a treatment-focused approach that saves lives. Seven decades of medical advances enabled by antibiotics are now seriously threatened by the convergence of relentlessly rising antibiotic resistance and the alarming and ongoing withdrawal of most major pharmaceutical companies from the antibiotic market. Without effective antibiotics, diverse fields of medicine will be severely hampered, including surgery, the care of premature infants, cancer chemotherapy, care of the critically ill, and transplantation medicine, all of which are feasible. Many public health experts and officials consider the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance as one of, if not the, paramount public health threat of the 21st century. While not a new phenomenon, the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant

2012 Indian Consumer Electronics Industry Research Report

Image
BMI projects that Indian consumer electronics spending will grow by about 17% in US dollar terms in 2012 to US$32.9bn, driven by rising incomes and growing affordability. However PC market growth slowed in Q112, against a background of rising inflation and a weak rupee, which led many consumers to defer their purchase decisions. Only nine out of 1,000 people in India own a computer, one-fifth of the level in China. Meanwhile, Indian mobile penetration is about 57%. Another long-term driver is that 45% of India’s population is under 25. Spending on consumer electronics devices is projected to grow at an overall CAGR of 15% through to 2016, with the key segments including low-cost mobile handsets, colour TV sets, set-top boxes and notebook computers. Much of the growth during BMI’s five-year forecast period will be driven by growing demand from India’s relatively underpenetrated rural areas. Headline Expenditure Projections Computer Hardware Sales: US$8.8bn in 2011 to US$

MarketReportsOnline.com - Tea in Japan

Image
After experiencing positive volume growth in 2009 and 2010, tea declined in total volume by 1% during 2011.

Egypt Metals Industry Research Report Q4 2012

Image
BMI''s Egypt Metals Report for Q412 examines the impact of political developments on domestic demand and output in 2012. The report examines the influence of the weak Egyptian pound on the sector and whether depreciation is sufficient to compete in an over-supplied regional market. It also examines the promise of expansion in primary aluminium smelting with Egyptalum seeking to expand production to 400,000 tonnes per annum (tpa). The report also analyses the trends in export markets, particularly in relation to the surge in steelmaking in the Arabian Gulf region. In the first seven months of 2012, base effects led to 2.6% growth in crude steel output to 3.9mn tonnes (mnt). Towards the end of the period monthly crude output rates appeared to be on a strong upward trend. However, flat and long sales on the domestic market were sluggish with rebar at very low levels due to a climate of uncertainty around the elections as well as a slowdown in activity associated with Ramadan.

SWOT analysis of Bangladesh Pharmaceuticals And Healthcare Industry

Image
While geographic diversification and investment into the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector of emerging economies, such as Bangladesh, may be a favourable strategy for any multinational pharmaceutical company – it is vital that a company recognises both the rewards and the risks present in a market. With regards to assessing risks in the Bangladeshi healthcare sector, we have identified those emanating from the state’s political/economic profile (such as high inflation) and industry specific dangers (such as low per-capita spending and poor access to healthcare facilities) that call into question the likelihood of anticipated returns being realised over the assessed time period. Headline Expenditure Projections Pharmaceuticals: BDT111.10bn (US$1.50bn) in 2011 to BDT124.15bn (US$1.52bn) in 2012; +11.7% in local currency terms and +1.1% in US dollar terms.

June Monthly Deals Roundup - Packaging

Image
The study of the global deal landscape reveals that global deal volume registered a significant decline during June after witnessing marginal growth in the previous month. The last month was an exception in the global deal landscape for the packaging industry over the last several months, as the Q1-2012 report for the Euro region – released during the second week of May – revealed that the Eurozone actually escaped recession due to higher than expected growth seen in Germany. However, this ray of hope failed to retain momentum and concerns of persisting volatility in current global macroeconomic conditions bought the market sentiments down during June. Among the deal types, mergers and acquisition (M&A) deal activities across the world continued to hold the majority share by volume. However, deal volume for mergers and acquisitions witnessed higher month-on-month decline compared to that of global deal volume in the packaging industry. Among other deal types, debt offering and

Bleach in Mexico

Image
The health and sanitary emergency brought about by the AH1N1 virus fuelled sales of bleach during 2009 by 9%, a considerable rise given that bleach is a very mature product category in Mexico. After a drop in sales during 2010 after the threat to the public’s health had been overcome, bleach sales returned to normal growth during 2011, rising by 2% in volume terms.

Gardening in Singapore

Image
Gardening is mainly considered as a leisure activity for the elderly in Singapore. It is not yet a mainstream hobby for Singaporeans, due to the fast pace of life and lack of outdoor space. The limited amount of gardening activities can be seen both in public housing estates (usually along communal corridors of flats or in community gardens) and in landed properties (usually in the residents’ own garden or backyard). In terms of the type of work, Singaporeans who carry out gardening tend to do...

Rtds/High-Strength Premixes in Portugal

Image
