“Pharmaceutical Leaders 2012 - Key Trends, Emerging Strategies and Financial Analysis of the Top Performers”
The authors Launches New Pharma Benchmark Report to Address Lack of Strategic Intelligence Solutions
Leading business intelligence provider The authors is pleased to announce the publication of its 2012 Pharmaceutical Benchmark Report, the first in a series of annual reports completed by its newly established Boston, Massachusetts, Industry Dynamics Team.
As emerging economies and medical advances continue to broaden the healthcare landscape, pharmaceutical market observers are finding there's a lack of strategic intelligence that accounts for an increasingly diverse industry a problem that The authors hopes to provide a solution to with its new report series.
The authors's 2012 Pharmaceutical Benchmark Report addresses the current inadequacies in pharmaceutical analysis by providing in-depth analysis on the top 25 pharmaceutical companies from 2011 by therapy area and region, offering a new and actionable perspective on what has become an outdated understanding of what makes a successful business model.
The authors's analyst for healthcare industry dynamics and author of the report, Adam Dion, MS, said: There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for success in the pharmaceutical industry. Rather, each successful company uses its own mixture of business approaches to attempt to optimize achievement in particular therapeutic or geographic areas.
Focusing on top-line revenues or market share gives an incomplete picture of successful pharmaceutical enterprises. By looking at margins, growth and penetration into new markets, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the most successful companies.
The authors's proprietary ranking system revealed that the top performing pharmaceutical company in 2011 was Merck & Co., with other leading performances from companies such as Novartis, Celgene, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Roche and Novo Nordisk.
The report provides comprehensive analysis on the key issues affecting the industry, such as the need to find innovate strategies to compensate from losses stemming from the patent cliff and the rise of the BRIC nations, and how leading companies have adapted and excelled.

The rehabilitation therapy industry in the US consists of about 30,000 establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $29 billion. Major companies include Select Medical, Physiotherapy Associates, RehabCare Group, and US Physical Therapy. The industry is highly fragmented: the top 50 companies account for about 25 percent of revenue.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand is driven by the aging US population and medical advances that increase patient survival rates and prolong life. The profitability of individual practices depends on efficient use of personnel. Large companies have some economies of scale in financial and administrative systems. Small companies compete by developing positive relationships with local health care providers and delivering superior customer service. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $100,000.
Therapy practices compete with similar services provided by hospitals, physician offices, nursing homes, home health care services, chiropractors, and educational institutions that employ their own therapists.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Rehabilitation therapy practices treat patients suffering from physical, mental, emotional, or communication disabilities. Services are primarily provided by physical therapists (45 percent of therapists); occupational therapists (25 percent); and speech therapists (20 percent). Other services are provided by audiologists, and art, dance, or music therapists. Fees for patient services make up over 90 percent of industry revenues; other revenues include lab test fees and sales of medical equipment and supplies, such as orthopedic appliances.

“Wind Tower - Global Market Size, Market Segmentation, Competitive landscape and Key Country Analysis to 2020”
Trade Relations with US May Be Stormy, but China's Wind Tower Industry Remains Unbowed.
Recent trade disputes with the US will do little to damage China's domination of the global wind tower market, finds a new report by business intelligence experts The authors.
Late last month, the US Commerce Department slapped tariffs on imports of wind towers from China following accusations that the Chinese government subsidized domestic manufacturers in order to flood the US market.
The tariffs range from 13.74% to 26%, depending on the company, and though the decision is preliminary (with the final order in October), if enforced it will damage the Chinese wind tower export industry by increasing prices and reducing demand in its largest market.
However, according to The authors's latest report*, the affect on China's overall wind tower industry will be relatively minor due to the small percentage maintained by the export sector.
The Asian giant exported 2.4 Gigawatts (GW) and 2.6GW of towers in 2010 and 2011 respectively, but these numbers are dwarfed by the 18GW of towers installed at home.
In 2011 alone, China installed 12,766 towers, accounting for 53% of the global market. To put this figure in perspective, the second largest market shareholder was the US, with a comparatively few 3,782 installations. Due to lower production costs, favourable government subsidies and the sheer scale of manufacturing in the country, China is both the world's largest producer and consumer of wind towers.
2011 was a fantastic year for the global wind energy market, following a dip the previous year. From a value of 74,192 Megawatts (MW) in 2006, the installed capacity grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.3% to reach 238,351 MW in 2011. This is expected to grow further still to 427,338 MW by 2015.

The Caribbean Tourism Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, tourism associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Caribbean's tourism industry.
The Caribbean Tourism Report examines the enormous long-term potential of the market, given its reputation as a major tourism destination, but analyses the impact of a slowdown in Europe - one of its major markets - especially as the Caribbean is a relatively expensive holiday destination The report examines how best to maximise returns in the Caribbean tourism market, capitalising on the region's wide variety of tourism destinations and well developed tourism infrastructure. The report also assesses differences between the key island groupings and which are recovering more swiftly.
We also analyse the key players in the Caribbean market, both domestic and foreign, and the development strategies they are employing to maximise returns during the economic slowdown.
Key Findings
Data released by the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) in April 2012 showed that the region enjoyed a good start to the year, with only one country experiencing a decline in tourist arrivals; the lowest number of countries to do so since the financial crisis hit in 2007.
This country was Dominica, with an arrivals decline of 5.2% year-on-year (y-o-y). However, Dominica has as yet only reported arrivals data for January, meaning that arrivals may pick up in the rest of the traditional high season.
Of the other countries, only Aruba and Barbados have reported data for the first quarter of 2011, experiencing arrivals growth of 2.4% y-o-y and 2.3% y-o-y respectively, Of those reporting January- February arrivals data, Guyana experienced a surge in arrivals growth of 18.7% y-o-y, followed by Martinique (10.9%), the US Virgin Islands (9.0%) and Anguilla (7.7%). Although this data is only for two or three months, it does indicate that the improving arrivals trend in late 2011 is continuing into 2012, oding well for arrivals throughout the year.

The India Power Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, power associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on India's power industry.
BMI View: In light of India's economic and demographic growth, we expect power consumption to increase from an estimated 747.26 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2011 to 1,386.40TWh in 2021. The country's 12th Five Year Plan forecasts energy demand will grow 6% per annum and electricity capacity will expand by 100 gigawatts (GW). Critical to the new plan is the focus on measures to combat the continued rise in India's dependence on imported energy, and a move to favour diversification towards renewable sources as well as nuclear. The recent FY2012/13 budget announcement is indicative of this focus, with the Indian government initiating a series of incentives and measures that will benefit the power sector
From this perspective, key trends and recent developments in the Indian electricity market include:
- The recent FY2012/13 budget introduced numerous positive regulatory reforms that will benefit the conventional thermal generation sector. The Indian government has approved full exemptions for power plant fuels such as natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), uranium concentrate and sintered uranium dioxide in natural and pellet form. Meanwhile, the countervailing duty on imported coal fell from 5% to 1%.
- In April 2012, government officials in India announced that they had commissioned 89% of the allocated capacity under the first stage of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM). The first stage involves the completion of around 1,100 megawatts (MW) of solar power generation capacity by 2013 - with an increase to 10,000MW by 2017 under the second stage. The project's capacity was split equally between photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal.
- India has launched its first tidal project. In April 2012, the state of Gujarat, located in western India, announced plans to spend INR250mn (US$4.8mn) to help develop the nation's first tidalenergy project. The project, a 50MW plant at the Gulf of Kutch, will be developed by tidalturbine maker Atlantis Resource Corporation. There are currently plans to expand the plant to 200MW, but this expansion plan is contingent on the successful commissioning of the first phase.

“El hito de hoy coloca a los servicios públicos australianos al frente de los esfuerzos globales para implementar redes de energía inteligentes basadas en estándares y permite que los consumidores consigan mayor eficiencia energética”
“La plataforma de interconexión para redes IPv6, líder en la industria, de Silver Spring, con más de 12 millones de viviendas y empresas conectadas en el mundo entero, está ayudando a que las empresas de servicios públicos del mundo se conecten mejor con sus clientes”, manifestó Scott Lang, Director Ejecutivo de Silver Spring Networks. “El hito de hoy coloca a los servicios públicos australianos al frente de los esfuerzos globales para implementar redes de energía inteligentes basadas en estándares y permite que los consumidores consigan mayor eficiencia energética”.
Los clientes de CitiPower y Powercor, Jemena, y United Energy ya están aprovechando las ventajas de la red inteligente hoy mismo. Como la medición avanzada brinda lecturas frecuentes y confiables, las facturas estimadas pasan rápidamente a ser recuerdos del pasado mientras los usuarios ya están comenzando a acceder a la información sobre su consumo energético en línea. Las redes de energía inteligentes también permiten a los usuarios con medidores inteligentes disfrutar de un servicio y un mantenimiento más rápidos y accesibles, sin necesidad de que un técnico los visite en su domicilio.
“Al trabajar con Silver Spring, CitiPower y Powercor han sido capaces de implementar a la fecha, más de 700.000 medidores inteligentes en áreas urbanas densamente pobladas, así como en territorios rurales poco habitados y el número sigue en aumento”, expresó Shane Breheny, Director Ejecutivo de CitiPower y Powercor. “Nuestro programa cumple con tiempos y presupuestos y ha comenzado a aportar beneficios a los usuarios a través de pantallas domiciliarias, reconexiones remotas y una mejor administración de las interrupciones del servicio”.
“Silver Spring ha posibilitado que Jemena realice lecturas confiables de más del 99 % de nuestros medidores inteligentes día tras día”, manifestó Paul Adams, Director General de Jemena. “Jemena comparte esta información con los usuarios a través de nuestro portal Electricity Outlook, lo que les permite comprender el consumo de energía doméstico que realizan y administrar mejor su gasto energético, así como las emisiones de gases de invernadero que hacen”.
“Silver Spring nos está ayudando a concretar nuestra visión de crear The Intelligent Utility”, expresó Hugh Gleeson, Director Ejecutivo de United Energy. “La medición inteligente es solo el primer paso. Ya estamos comenzando a recuperar nuestra inversión en redes para mejorar la confiabilidad y la eficiencia energéticas al administrar mejor la red de distribución y permitir que los consumidores dispongan de nuevas herramientas, tales como nuestro portal de Internet Energy Easy. Al utilizar Energy Easy (disponible para clientes de UE con medidor inteligente instalado mediante www.ue.com.au) nuestros clientes pueden controlar y entender el consumo energético que realizan y aprovechar esa información para optar por la oferta de electricidad minorista que mejor se adapte a su estilo de vida”.
La plataforma de interconexión para redes IPv6 basada en estándares de Silver Spring es compatible con numerosas soluciones y aplicaciones orientadas a aumentar el rendimiento de la red energética y mejorar la eficiencia de la energía.

“Wound Care Management Market to 2018 - Advanced Wound Care Modalities and an Expanding Patient Base Create Significant Growth Opportunities in Emerging Countries”
Obesity Pandemic to Mean Big Business for Wound Care Market in Emerging Countries.
The spread of lifestyle disorders such as obesity and diabetes in emerging countries offers vast potential for expansion in the wound care management market, explains a new report from business intelligence providers GBI Research.
According to the report*, Western countries currently account for a significant majority of the global wound care management market due to greater product awareness and a large patient pool. But as incidences of obesity and diabetes, among other conditions, continue to rise in hugely populated countries like India and China, the market disparity is expected to shrink.
The wound care management market was valued at $18.58 billion in 2011, but GBI Research predict this figure will rise at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5% to reach $25.86 billion in 2018.
The global diabetes population stood at 311 million in 2011, but this figure is expected to almost double to 550 million by 2030. The condition carries with it problems such as foot, pressure and venous ulcers. Equally, obesity has associated complications that include chronic ulcers and wounds. All of these secondary ailments require the wound care treatment that recently introduced devices can provide more effectively
GBI Research states that factors such like rapid urbanization and increases in the numbers of elderly are leading to an increase in these lifestyle disorders in the emerging economies of India, China and Brazil.
A 2010 report by the World Alliance for Wound and Lymphedema Care (WAWLC) found that the prevalence rate of chronic wounds in India is 4.5 per 1000 people and the number of those with acute wounds was 10.5 per 1000 people.

“Carboxylic acids offer great development potential for Oxea. Due to a large number of new applications in various branches of industry, global demand is rising significantly.”
“At Oxea, we have firmly anchored the Six Sigma methodology in our corporate strategy. Together with additional continuous improvement processes within the company, this enabled us to raise capacity in Marl by 20 percent. That is twice as much as we originally planned. However, this expansion is just one of many steps that will ultimately result in a significant increase of Oxea’s global carboxylic acid capacities by the end of 2012,” said Dr. Martina Flöel, spokesperson for the Oxea Executive Board, who is also responsible for production and technology. “We are currently building a new, state-of-the-art carboxylic acid plant in Oberhausen, which is scheduled to go on-stream at the end of 2012. In addition, we are upgrading our existing Carboxylic Acid Plant 2 and Carboxylic Acid Plant 1 accordingly. This work will be completed even before the new third plant in Oberhausen is commissioned. These comprehensive investments reflect the speedy and reliable implementation of our strategy to expand into oxo derivatives and attractive growth markets,” Flöel continued.
“With this capacity expansion at the Marl site, we are once again increasing our capabilities as the global market leader for carboxylic acids,” said Miguel Mantas, responsible for marketing and sales on Oxea’s Executive Board. “Carboxylic acids offer great development potential for Oxea. Due to a large number of new applications in various branches of industry, global demand is rising significantly.” As the leading manufacturer with the most comprehensive portfolio of carboxylic acids, we will further increase our supply capacity, improve our flexibility and enhance our ability to support the growth of our customers with this expansion,” Mantas added.
Oxea is a global manufacturer of oxo intermediates and oxo derivatives, such as alcohols, polyols, carboxylic acids, specialty esters, and amines. These products are used for the production of high-quality coatings, lubricants, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, flavorings and fragrances, printing inks and plastics. In 2011, Oxea generated revenue of about EUR 1.5 billion with its 1,365 employees in Europe, the Americas and Asia. For more information visit www.oxea-chemicals.com.

“The salt lakes of South America contain about 75 percent of the world’s known lithium resources”
Since lithium batteries first entered the market in 1993, about 45,000 tons of lithium have been incorporated into these batteries worldwide. As the rise of new technologies requiring lithium-ion batteries—including electric vehicles and Apple products such as the iPad—rapidly increases demand for lithium around the globe, the metal’s value has skyrocketed. Luckily, spent lithium batteries can be recycled to reclaim valuable materials.
In the United States and elsewhere, less than 20 percent of lithium batteries are currently recycled. With more and more of these batteries set to hit the market in the coming years, GTSO has a plan to profit on both traditional lithium mining as well as recycling. The company is currently negotiating an agreement with CCI Capital SpA for assistance closing lithium deals in Chile, one of the world’s top producers of the element.
“The salt lakes of South America contain about 75 percent of the world’s known lithium resources,” said GTSO CEO Paul Watson. “Chile is a developed economy with established mining infrastructure, which makes it the perfect place to pursue and develop new lithium resources for mining and recycling.
“The global market for lithium is set to explode very soon, and we plan to grow right along with it,” he added.
GTSO plans to present CCI with a definitive agreement in the near future.
GTSO is working to service a fast-growing global appetite for rare and precious metals to compete in an exciting sector that includes International Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ILC.V)and North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSXV: NTC.V).

“By studying nature, we can arrive at new breakthroughs in robotics that the market is begging for.”
By studying the way human and animal organ systems and tissues work together, Quantum hopes that robotic actuation can someday soon approach the efficiency of biological actuation, where muscles, tendons and bones cooperate in highly efficient ways. More efficient actuator technologies could benefit not only robotics systems, but all actuated systems, such as prosthetic limbs.
“The slow process of natural selection has created the most elegantly efficient natural actuators in the world,” said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. “By studying nature, we can arrive at new breakthroughs in robotics that the market is begging for.”
Quantum is close to a definitive agreement with world-renowned robotics innovators at Poland’s Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP).

“Consistent Demand for Cheaper Fuel will Strengthen China's Position as the Largest Market for Methanol-Gasoline Blend”
Consistent Demand for Cheaper Fuel will Strengthen China's Position as the Largest Market for Methanol-Gasoline Blend
China has become the leader in methanol-gasoline blending as the demand for methanol from this sector has soared in the last decade. As the largest producer of methanol, the country has an abundant supply for gasoline blending. The trend of using methanol in gasoline blending started after the provincial governments in China standardized methanol-gasoline blends, which were cheaper than gasoline. As of 2012, 11 provincial governments have set up standards for methanol-based fuel. The central government has also established standards for methanol-gasoline blends containing 85% methanol and is now in the final stages of standardizing blends containing 15% methanol. The easy availability of methanol, lower costs and strong regulatory support will strengthen China's already dominant position in the methanol-gasoline fuel market and will raise its share from 87.3% in 2011 to 92.8% in 2016.
