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. However, a new emergency developed during the last two months of 2011 and the first few months of 2012. This time the situation was...

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
RTDs are not among the most popular beverages in Portugal. The novelty of these drinks has worn off, and, in 2011, Portuguese consumers preferred to drink their favourite beverages when out and for most consumers this did not include RTDs/high-strength premixes.

Fragrances in Uruguay

Image
For the second consecutive year, most fragrances unit prices (mass women’s fragrances were the exception in 2011) remained unchanged or showed only minor increases in current terms, as companies took advantage of the depreciation of the US dollar relative to the Uruguayan peso and chose to try to increase volume sales, as they were not sacrificing their margins in doing so.

Understanding South Korea's Regional Health Markets

Image
Critical information and statistics on national and regional health infrastructure and provision. An essential source of detailed key business data on this fast growing economy. South Korea is one of the more dynamic and advanced Asian medical markets with a well established health infrastructure and national health insurance system. Trends in South Korean society, however, present opportunities for medical and pharmaceutical companies. Notably the country’s increasing aged population which stands at 11% of the population is set to reach 20% by 2025. In addition, a push for a slice of the growing global health tourist trade is just one driver in the expansion of advanced facilities. Identifying opportunities in South Korea’s valuable and rapidly expanding health economy requires detailed knowledge of the economic performance, health infrastructure and health personnel distribution at a state/territory level. Being able to see that in the context of neighbouring provinces and the nat

Latest Guide to Chinese Pharmaceutical GMP Regulations

China possesses a fourth population in the world and has one of the largest drug markets round the world. By 2011, sales on the Chinese drug market have reached RMB 1550 billion (about US$246 billion), an increase of 7.08 fold over 2000 level. A series of factors, such as an increasingly ageing population, accelerating growth of urban population as well as expansion of healthcare covering urban and rural will grow the Chinese drug market with a growth rate over 25 percent per annum in next three years. China is expected to become the second largest drug market in the world by 2015. Since the reform and open door policy implemented by Chinese authorities in the late 1970s, the door of the Chinese drug market began opening up to the world step by step, which not only gave a fillip to the imported drugs from overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers but also attracted overseas investors to establish the foreign investment enterprises, including “Sino-foreign equity joint ventures (EJV)”,

Home Insecticides in Costa Rica

Image
Deeper levels of product segmentation and long effect formulations continued being the main purchase drivers for insecticides during 2011. As a result of the tropical conditions and the broad number of insects that can be found in most Costa Rican houses, insecticides are often considered essential goods by local families, incentivising a significant base of consumers to actively search for value-for-money presentations and promotional prices, especially among the low and mid-income segments of...
