Printed and Thin Film Transistors and Memory 2011-2021

This report addresses two types of reader. Industrialists, investors and researchers with scientific training can read the report in the order presented. For the first time, they will see the big picture of what is happening and about to happen across the whole world in this subject. This includes the profiles, activities and intentions of 150 leading organizations in this field. We analyze and compare what is happening in 16 countries. Such information is not gathered in any other document. The report also gives the rapidly evolving choices of materials, device designs, chemistry and manufacturing processes for these devices - again a unique analysis. However, this report will also be useful for those with only a rudimentary understanding of science and engineering who seek to understand how the printed electronics revolution will greatly benefit society while creating billion dollar businesses and when and where this will happen.

We start with some descriptions appropriate for the beginner, opening up the subject with as little complexity and jargon as possible.

Forecasts and Applications

The report assesses the market and opportunity in different ways, such as forecasts by material type (organic vs inorganic), application (Display driver, RFID etc), flexible, printed and much more. However, the immediately accessible markets for printed transistors are commonly described as being back plane drivers for displays and use in RFID but that is misleading. We give the big picture - something not previously available - and also look at the impediments to successful commercialization of these components, in an honest and balanced appraisal. Forecasts are given for the next ten years and beyond.

Immunomodulators Market to 2017 - Immunosuppressant Antibodies to Replace Antimetabolites as the Highest Value Sector by 2017

Immunosuppressants generated revenues of $92.2 billion in 2010 while immunostimulants generated revenues of $53.7 billion. There are more classes of immunosuppressants than immunostimulants because it is difficult to boost the cells of the immune system as they all respond to antigens in different ways. The immunostimulants market is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.5% and the immunosuppressants market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.3%, although there are more products in the pipeline for immunosuppressants. Immunostimulatory Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) such as cancer antibodies and vaccines will contribute most to the growth of the markets as there is a great deal of scope for these classes in the oncology market, valued at $60.5 billion in 2010.

Antimetabolic Drugs Generated the Highest Revenues of all Classes of Immunomodulators

Antiproliferative and antimetabolic drugs generated revenues of approximately $33.2 billion in 2010. However, with the gradual approval of mAbs as first-line treatment, antiproliferative and antimetabolic drugs will grow at a comparatively slow rate. Conventional therapy, namely chemotherapy, has a long history of poor safety profiles due to systemic action characteristics, which means its often fails to impart the desired effect at the site of action. Cancer is better managed with personalized oncological treatments such as measuring erbB2 (erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2) and EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) proteins in breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients before selecting suitable treatments. Herceptin is used in the treatment of women with breast cancer in which HER2 (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2) protein is overexpressed.

Consumer Payments in the U.S.: Trends Driving the Credit, Debit, and Prepaid Card Industries

Displacement of cash and checks in combination with the nation's formerly increasing disposable income has long served to grow the market for payment products. As that displacement has slowed and the nation's per capita income has declined, participants in the consumer payments industry can succeed only by growing market share. Organic growth in the U.S. industry is not in the cards for the foreseeable future.

This United States focused research examines the demographic, payment product and channel preference changes driving a profound transformation of the payments industry.

This new report provides historical market size, industry and product revenue forecasts for both traditional and new payment products and channels. It also drills down to product and brand preferences as well as bill payment behaviors and financial attitudes specific to seniors, older and younger Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials.

Specific trends addressed both in macro and generational cohort specific terms include responses to debit card fees and debit card loyalty programs cancelled by issuers in the wake of debit interchange caps. Consumers have rejected new debit fees and as they have been deluged with credit card offers, they have quickly switched their product preference from debit to rejuvenated credit cards.

With household incomes declining even as healthcare costs and student loan debt are rising, the overall payments pie is shrinking, prompting payment providers to base profit growth strategies on taking market share from their competitors.

The overall economy will remain stalled until 2013 or 2014, and Millennials as the newest adult generational cohort have brought with them novel payment and channel preferences. This report guides issuers, retailers and marketers in optimizing the potency of each product differentiating feature, mastering new payment and communication channels, and building loyalty programs based on cost sharing with merchants to maintain or grow market share.

Retail Forecasts H1 2012: UK Homewares

HighlightsHomewares will be the only home related sector which returns to growth in 2012, with a growing influence of fashion trends, a greater presence of value operators and low average selling prices making the homewares category an easy way for consumers to update their homes.

The housing market will continue to negatively impact volumes, however as the stamp duty holiday comes to an end in March, there will be a slight upsurge in demand for homewares as first time buyers look to move quickly before the deadline.

As the VAT rate falls out of annual comparisons and the pressures of elevated cotton prices ease, inflation will fall. While some retailers will pass this onto consumers in the form of lower prices, others are likely to absorb the savings in order to recover some of the squeezed margins over the past 12 months.

Your key questions answered

• What impact will the economy have on retail and how should I build this into my sales forecasts? 
• How will inflation effect growth in homewares sales volumes? Will inflationary pressures continue into 2013 and 2014? 
• Which homewares sub-sectors will perform the best through 2012–14? Which sectors should my business focus on?

Nanotechnology for Photonics: Global Markets

STUDY BACKGROUND

Nanophotonics technologies play an increasingly important role in various sectors of the global economy. However, various technical, marketing and other hurdles need to be overcome before nanophotonics can realize their full potential.

Most analyses of the nanophotonics market focus on the development of new nanophotonics technologies and applications, rather than quantifying the potential market for these technologies. These analyses have made valuable contributions to raising investors’ awareness of and interest in nanophotonics.

However, these analyses by themselves do not provide sufficient information to guide corporate or individual investment decisions. Investors require additional information, such as the size of specific nanophotonics markets, prices, competition, and potential regulation, as provided in this report.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This report is an update of an earlier BCC Research report, published in 2006. Its goal is to provide investors and others with the latest information on the commercial potential of various nanophotonics technologies and to complement the growing body of technical information. Specific objectives include identifying segments of the nanophotonics market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2011-2016), projecting future demand in these segments and evaluating the challenges that must be overcome for each segment to realize its potential in order to estimate the probability of successful commercialization.

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES

Projecting the market for emerging technologies such as most nanophotonics devices, whose commercial potential has not yet been proven, is a challenging task, which may help to explain why most analysts so far have focused on technology assessments. This report uses a multi-phase approach to identify the nanophotonics applications and devices with the greatest commercial potential and quantify the resulting market for these devices, as described below.

In the first phase of the analysis, we identified a “long list” of potential nanophotonics applications (including applications that are still under development) and mapped them against potential applications such as data storage, computing, sensing and others.

In the second phase, we eliminated those nanophotonics applications and devices that appear to have little likelihood of making it into commercial production in the next five years, determined by a literature review and statements from industry sources. The result of phase two was a “short list” of devices with the greatest near- to mid-term commercial potential.

The third phase focused on quantifying the potential broader market for each short-listed nanophotonics device and identifying the main prerequisites for commercial success. Various methodologies and data sources were used to develop the projections, including trend line projections, input-output analysis and estimates of future demand from industry sources. Dozens of industry sources were consulted in the preparation of this report.

Consumer Electronics in Spain

The Spanish economy remained in recession during 2010. Real GDP declined by 0.15% due to the economic slowdown caused by a collapsing property market and the credit crunch, making consumers cut spending. Consumers marginally reduced spending on audio-visual, photographic and information processing equipment, whereas they slightly increased expenditure on telecommunications equipment. Unemployment went up, reaching 20% in 2010. Spanish debt was downgraded from AA+ to AA (under warranty), with a negative outlook forecasting prolonged recovery.

Current Impact

The credit crunch and the lack of liquidity in Spanish housing are causing more and more problems, keeping consumers away from the shops, bolstering forecasts for the economy to remain in recession.

Consumer expenditure on audio-visual, photographic and information processing equipment rose by 1% to reach around EUR7,207 million in 2010. Spaniards were more willing to buy telecommunications equipment, which was driven by the development of 4G technology and recent launches of new smartphones, with spending of EUR1,174 million in 2010, which was 0.4% more than in 2009.

Trying to improve the sovereign fiscal situation the Spanish government introduced a VAT increase in July 2010, raising it from 16% to 18%. As a result of the measure, consumer spending on consumer electronics increased slightly before July 2010, because Spaniards were afraid of the imminent big price hike in the sector and cut down overall spending on consumer electronics during the second part of the year.
