Energy Report | World Smart Grid, 2nd Edition

This research report presents an in-depth analysis of the development, applications, products, manufacturers, and trends in the worldwide development of the Smart Grid. After over one hundred years of electric power, it has become apparent that a new type of power grid is needed to serve societal needs in the 21st Century. Over time, a relatively primitive but reliable power grid has morphed into an exceedingly complex machine that can no longer be controlled through human actions alone and one which has become brittle and subject to catastrophic failure – such as the blackout in the northeastern United States and Canada in 2003. Simply put, today’s power grid is having difficulty meeting the high quality, stable, and reliable power requirements of an increasingly sophisticated, technology-oriented world. The power grid is also in need of significant maintenance and repair, with estimates ranging as high as $1 trillion over the next 20 years for the United States alone. However, “smart/intelligent” technologies now exist that can significantly improve grid performance. With these technologies a “smarter” grid will be able provide improved service reliability and more stable electric rates at a lower cost than simply building more infrastructure to meet increased demand.

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current market for smart grid enabling technologies and projects future market size through 2031. Marketing concerns including energy demand, environmental impacts, economic conditions, consumer acceptance, stakeholder concerns, and government activities are discussed in terms of their impact on market growth for the Smart Grid and its enabling technologies. The report also profiles selected companies that manufacture and market technologies that enable the Smart Grid and the strategies they have adopted to maximize growth and profitability.

2012-2013 U.S. Pet Market Outlook

In the New Normal of economic moderation, pet industry players must walk a line between promotional pricing and product premiumization. While shoppers remain intently focused on value, numerous indicators suggest that the U.S. pet market has yet to come fully into its own. Notwithstanding the great recession, the pet product shopper base has continued to migrate into the higher-priced pet specialty channel, while supermarkets and discount stores have seen their pet product shopper base decline. Store brands are more important than ever, but pet food remains private-label resistant, an outpost of shopper loyalty to national brands. Natural, organic, and eco-friendly products continue to advance, as do pet health products and services including medications, supplements, and insurance. And 2011 was nothing less than a banner year for mid-level acquisitions.

During Super Bowl XLVI, dogs featured prominently in commercials that were not even pet related--ads selling cars, beer, and chips. This was a sign-of-the-times: Packaged Facts sees pet parenting and the ensconcement of pets as members of the family not just as a trend, but as a long-term societal shift favoring even greater spending on the pet market in the years to come.

Many Americans remain budget-strapped, and it’s essential that pet marketers and retailers respond to this mindset as well as to the expectations of less cost-conscious pet owners. In this market environment, it’s no accident that, along with pet specialty retailers, price-focused dollar stores and wholesale clubs have been growing their pet business.

Rolling up Packaged Facts’ ongoing pulse-taking of the pet market, extensive pet market research coverage, and exclusive Pet Owner Survey data—including hot-off-the-press findings from our March 2012 consumer survey—U.S. Pet Market Outlook 2012-2013 is the go-to source for a complete understanding of U.S. pet industry. In its 4th edition, the report evaluates current trends and future directions for marketing and retailing , along with consumer patterns across the full spectrum of the market, including veterinary services, pet food, nonfood pet supplies, and non-medical pet services (grooming, boarding, training, etc.). Building on the market tracking, forecasting, and position-taking of previous editions, the report forecasts market size and growth for each category; examines new product activity; surveys retail channel trends including cross-channel shopping vs. shopper loyalty; and analyzes trends and shifts in the needs of today’s pet parents. The report tabulates pet product sales channel by channel, using data from sources including SymphonyIRI Group, whose InfoScan Review data tracks sales in supermarkets, drugstores, and mass merchandisers other than Walmart; GfK Retail & Technology, which tracks sales in pet shops, farm & feed stores, and veterinary clinics across the U.S.; and SPINS, Inc., whose SPINSscan service tracks sales in the natural supermarket channel and in the specialty gourmet supermarket channel.

Global Battery Control Technology Markets

Rechargeable batteries are routinely used in portable product and stationary power applications, including computers, cellular phones, and uninterruptible and emergency power supplies.  More recently, rechargeable batteries have been evolved from relatively low performance industrial vehicles to electric vehicles that rival internal combustion vehicles in performance and exceed their efficiency. This revolution in battery power has been possible through a systems approach that includes advanced batteries, “smart” microcontroller battery chargers, and power conditioners.  This impacts the commercial and consumer electronics market, the transportation market, and the electrical power generation market, among others.

Ultimately, the market for batteries drives the market for battery control technology: chargers, smart batteries, and conditioners.  Batteries are used to accumulate and transport electrical energy.  These functions, power storage and power portability, make batteries essential to today’s industrial and consumer-oriented society.  Although simple batteries have existed for at least two hundred years, the battery industry traces its roots to the early 1900s.  At that time, the commercialization of automobiles and radios created a demand for automotive (starting, lighting, ignition and generator) batteries and portable appliance batteries.  These markets, characterized by primary (disposable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries remain the two areas where most batteries are consumed.  With the growth of the markets for secondary batteries, the market for battery control has grown.  Starting in the 1960s, the wider commercialization of sealed nickel-cadmium batteries and then sealed lead-acid batteries created competition between primary and secondary batteries for some consumer applications.  This development also created a market for whole new kinds of battery control technology.

Battery control advances and a realignment of the battery industry players must be matched by new marketing attitudes. The battery control technology market is much more fragmented than the battery industry it serves.  On the other hand, battery designers and battery control technology designers now must cooperate to meet more demanding design requirements.  Battery control technology customers include the consuming public, industrial users, and manufacturers who must consider battery control as an integral part of a product’s design.  This report is intended to be the most complete technical, economic and business document of this type on the subject and is designed to provide information of a professional nature.  The technical data are dependent on the accuracy of the manufacturers and technical sources that helped make up the BCC Research database.  This report is not intended to constitute a legal or accounting document, nor is it an endorsement of any given product or process.  The authors, and BCC Research as the publisher, assume no liability for loss or damage as a result of reliance on this material.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

First, this report organizes the battery control technology market into five sub-sectors based on the type of consumer:

• Automotive.
• Traction, marine and aviation.
• Portable products.
• Stationary (UPS, emergency, remote).
• On-road electric vehicles.

Then, the market is organized by type of battery control technology:

• Battery chargers.
• Battery conditioners.
• Smart battery systems.

Each of these divisions is comprised of different market sub-sectors, and each is examined in terms of past, present and future sales.  Historic wholesale markets for 2006 and 2011 forecast 2016 market figures are provided.  Predicted markets and compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) are expressed in constant Year 2012 dollars.  A detailed discussion of the companies involved is provided for each battery control market sub-sector. Most market summaries are based on a consensus scenario that assumes no unanticipated technical advances and no unexpected legislation. In some cases, several possible development scenarios are presented.  Totals are rounded to the nearest million dollars.  When appropriate, information from previously published sources is identified to allow a more detailed examination by clients.

North America's status as the largest wealth market is not threatened by the exponential growth of the emerging markets. While the poor performances of Japan and Western Europe will cause them to be overtaken by Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), which will become the second largest regional market by 2015.

The top 10 country wealth markets will change in 2012, with Brazil and India entering and Spain and Taiwan exiting. Taiwan is in fact growing faster than many other mature markets, but is still set to exit the top 10, largely due to the explosive growth of India and Brazil and the country's relatively small size.

Males account for the majority of HNW individuals in all regions, with a stronger lack of balance in the Middle East and near-parity in North America. Middle East and Asia Pacific HNW individuals are generally younger than their counterparts in Western Europe and North America. Entrepreneurship is the most common source of wealth worldwide.
