Consumer Appliances Industry in Thailand

Favourable economic conditions underpin positive market performance
Thailand’s consumer appliances market continued to perform well in 2011. Total market volume and current value sales both grew at a slightly faster pace than in 2010, and growth rates also surpassed the respective CAGRs for the entire review period. Aside from the necessary replacement of older appliances, volume and current value sales were bolstered by economic improvements, political stability, increasing urbanisation, busier lifestyles and the growing desire for convenience among Thai consumers. New launches, marketing activities, frequent price promotions and the availability of affordable instalment plans also contributed to the positive market performance.

Growth in condominium ownership bolsters demand for appliances
Demand for residential properties continued to rise in Thailand towards the end of the review period, especially in urban and suburban areas. Condominium units were among the most desirable properties, particularly those located along the mass transit lines of the BTS Skytrain and the MRT underground throughout Bangkok and in outlying districts. In 2011, the total number of condominium units in Bangkok alone reached around 300,000. Demand for condominium units was also strong in popular tourist destinations like Hua Hin, Pattaya and Phuket. Rising demand for residential properties, and in particular condominiums, helped to bolster demand for all kinds of appliances, especially microwaves, vacuum cleaners, rice cookers, kettles and toasters, cooling fans and air conditioners.

Energy efficient appliances continue to gain popularity
Throughout the review period, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) continued to update and expand its energy rating programme for consumer appliances. At the same time, demand for more energy efficient appliances grew steadily among Thai consumers. Rising demand was mainly due to economic considerations, with consumers recognising that energy efficient appliances could save them money in the long term. However, environmental concerns also proved an increasingly important driver of demand for such products. Environmental concerns were heightened in 2011, when unusually cold weather at the start of the summer season and widespread flooding towards the year led many Thai people to think more carefully about how their energy consumption habits were contributing to climate change. New launches and marketing activities, particularly by multinational players, also bolstered demand for energy efficient appliances.

Multinational brands continue to lead the Thai market
Multinationals continued to lead consumer electronics in Thailand in 2011. Philips, Sharp and Toshiba remained the top three brands in the market respectively in volume sales terms. Other international brands ranked among the market leaders included Panasonic, Sanyo, Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung and Electrolux. While some of these brands, such as Sharp, competed directly with domestic products in the lower price segments, most were targeted at middle and high income consumers. Aside from their global reputations for quality and consistently strong advertising support, the leadership of multinationals was also attributable to their superior capacity for innovation and ability to capitalise on emerging consumer trends. Toshiba, for instance, was one of the brands that most successfully answered consumer demands for more aesthetically designed appliances during the review period, with its singe-door curve fridge being one of the best examples. At the same time, Toshiba was one of the leaders of the trend towards more energy efficient appliances, and also one of the most active brands when it came to promoting its commitment to environmental protection issues.

Demand for appliances will continue to grow over 2011-2016
The outlook for consumer appliances in Thailand remains favourable, with total volume and constant value sales expected to grow steadily over the forecast period. Aside from replacement purchases, economic improvements, political stability and rising home ownership will continue to underpin the positive development of the market as a whole. New launches, particularly of more innovative, energy efficient and aesthetically designed models, will also bolster demand in individual categories, as will marketing activities by leading players. Due to increasing maturity, inflation uncertainty in the global economy and other factors, however, growth in total market volume sales is expected to be slightly slower than during the review period.

Product Profiles: Insulin Antidiabetics – Key developers compete for basal insulins market

The basal insulins are the most successful insulin class, with other insulin classes demonstrating high substitution or low and declining sales. Current basal insulins offer good safety and emerging therapies are not expected to improve efficacy significantly. However, the launch of two late-stage pipeline products Degludec and DegludecPlus in 2012–13 will alter market dynamics.

Features and benefits

• Understand Datamonitor’s independent appraisal of marketed insulin brands and key pipeline agents indicated for treating type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
• Illustrate how pipeline and marketed insulins compare to one another in terms of clinical and commercial attributes.
• Review important clinical developments for key pipeline agents with analysis of the latest clinical trial data.
• Understand how marketed insulin brands are positioned in the diabetes treatment algorithm and how they are perceived by prescribers.
• Determine to what extent future insulin therapies satisfy the main clinical unmet needs in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Highlights
With strong marketing and sales resources committed by Novo Nordisk, late-stage basal insulin Degludec (insulin degludec) will offer strong competition to class leader Lantus (insulin glargine; Sanofi) and largely cannibalize predecessor Levemir (insulin detemir; Novo Nordisk).
Key patents for blockbuster Lantus will expire from 2014–15. However, the threat of biosimilar insulin is expected to have less impact than typical small molecule generics, as physicians are expected to be reluctant to introduce potential additional variability into patients’ insulin treatment regimens.
Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, and Eli Lilly are also the only companies with promising insulin products in late stage development. Alternative insulin delivery mechanisms under development, such as MannKind’s Afrezza (inhaled insulin), are not expected to make it to market in the near term.

A plant factory allows the growing of vegetables indoors all year round. It is a system that artificially creates the environment necessary for plants to grow by controlling the amount of culture solution, air, and light from light-emitting diodes (LED). Because the amount of light, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration levels can be optimized without being affected by the weather, the growth rate of vegetables is two to four times faster than those grown in open-air fields, and yields are ten to twenty times higher.
Visible natural light has a spectrum different from grow lights. Visible light is measured by lux or energy. Plant factory grow lights are different. Grow lights provide artificial light used for plant growth. The spectrum of growth lights is tuned to the plant growing task. Plant light has photons from the blue to red (400-700 nm) part of the spectrum. This is called growth light.

Horticulture lamps address the role of light in the growth and development of plants. Plant growth is a function of photosynthesis. The plant growth lights work in three different ways:

• To provide all the light a plant needs to grow
• To supplement sunlight, especially in winter months when daylight hours are short
• To increase the length of the "day" in order to trigger specific growth and flowering

Because the amount of light, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration levels can be optimized without being affected by the weather, the growth rate of vegetables is two to four times faster than those grown in open-air fields, and yields are ten to twenty times higher.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, "Plant factories use growth light to automate and control growing. The ability to grow food consistently, locally represents a major breakthrough for humanity." Grow lights permit people to grow food in warehouses and in the home, dedicating previously unused space to a purpose and in a manner that is efficient for producing food.

Municipal and Industrial Sludge Treatment and Odor Control: The Global Market

This market research report analyzes the global market and developments in municipal and industrial wastewater sludge treatment equipment and wastewater/sludge-based odor control equipment.  Sludge treatment describes the processes used to manage and dispose of the solid or semi-solid products produced during municipal sewage treatment and industrial wastewater treatment.  Despite representing only about 1% of total wastewater flows, sludge handling accounts for up to 50% of total treatment plant operating costs.  Some industry participants estimate that the sludge treatment market represents more than 20% of the total water equipment market.

Because of safety and nuisance issues, odor control has come to play an increasingly important role in the treatment and disposal of sludge and biosolids that accumulate during wastewater plant processes.

As noted in the Global Atlas of Excreta, Wastewater Sludge, and Biosolids Management: Moving Forward the Sustainable and Welcome Uses of a Global Resource, a 2008 study by the Greater Moncton Sewerage Commission and the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat), several major premises apply to wastewater, sludge, and biosolids.

• The creation of wastewater in human communities is inevitable.
• History shows a common progression toward global improvement of wastewater treatment and wastewater sludge management.
• The progression appears to be inevitable.
• Once such systems are established and they are protecting humans from the immediate threat from waste-borne pathogens, focus inevitably shifts toward the effects of wastewater on other human communities downstream and on the natural environment and other organisms.
• Eventually, as wastewater treatment systems are able to reduce all forms of wastewater contamination by 90% or greater, the volume of wastewater solids, sewage sludge, becomes significant and requires careful management. In much of Europe, North America, Japan and other developed urban areas around the world, sludge management has become a major focus.  In many places, it is the most debated challenge in the sanitation field.

Access to sanitation varies widely around the world.  In sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and Central and South America, wastewater treatment systems, if they exist, are minimal or function poorly.  In these regions, basic sanitation is the primary need.

In Eastern Europe, Turkey, the Russian Federation, Mexico, South America and other areas, wastewater treatment is more advanced, but wastewater sludge and biosolids management has not been practiced previously.  As sludge volumes from a rising number of treatment facilities grows, a more complex regulatory framework and improved sludge handling technologies will be required.

In North America, Europe, Australia and certain Asian countries, there is more focus on improving the management of wastewater sludge and biosolids.  In these regions, wastewater typically is treated at the secondary or tertiary level and both biosolids technologies and regulatory systems are complex.

In all world regions where advanced wastewater treatment results in increasing volumes of sludge, water quality professionals, engineers, scientists, agricultural experts and government regulators are applying and refining processes to improve efficiencies, reduce the potential negative impacts and maximize the beneficial reuse aspects of sludge treatment and biosolids handling.


REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

Wastewater and sludge are produced continually, and pollutants present in the wastes never completely disappear.  With each passing year, global volumes of sludge increase and potentially contain heavy metals, organic industrial chemicals, agricultural chemicals, oil and grease and miscellaneous hazardous pollutants, such as medical wastes.  Sometimes, it emits a disagreeable odor that requires abatement.

Harmful and toxic residues in sludge can be reduced via sludge treatment equipment and, increasingly, these systems enable the beneficial reuse of sludge in a safe and economically way.  Various types of treatment equipment also allow odors associated with wastewater solids to be controlled.

This report is intended for those who desire an analysis of the global sludge treatment and odor control equipment markets.  The document seeks to quantify the various markets, forecast market trends, trace significant developments and profile companies that are active in the various market sectors.  The report contains information and conclusions that are unique, insightful and have a forward-thinking knowledge of the subject that should be of interest to manufacturers, suppliers and local, state and government entities.

Global Enterprise Content Management Market

The enterprise content management (ECM) market is witnessing continued upward growth, with gradually increasing market revenue anticipated in the current year and over the next few years. Frost & Sullivan defines an ECM as a large-scale, multi-functional, cross-platform content management system (CMS), designed to address the complex content management needs of enterprise-level organizations. Today’s ECM solutions are structural platforms meant to enable and deliver content efficiencies on a wide scale and with the express intent of energizing digital content assets throughout their life cycles. An ECM platform helps companies create a uniform communications layer or a reference architecture layer designed to facilitate cross-platform interoperability, data sharing, and anytime, anywhere secure access to critical company information and content. Many ECM solutions allow for real-time collaboration, massive customization, and content management schemes that empower knowledge workers on a global scale.
This study is Frost & Sullivan's third analysis of the ECM market in the last four years. In this dynamic market characterized as competitive, competent, and innovative, ECM vendors have found their message, a compelling ECM value proposition, and an expanding addressable market. Frost & Sullivan expects that recent technology developments, overall digital media trends, and an increasingly diverse set of capabilities bode well for the CMS marketplace. A broadening marketplace, increasing demand for the efficiencies of digitization and performance accountability, increasing global uptake, and a focus on providing the functionality that customers demand bodes particularly well for the ECM market.

In this study, Frost & Sullivan discusses the evolving definition of an ECM solution, the widening customer base, and the vibrant vendor landscape. We dive deep into why companies should consider and acquire ECM solutions as opposed to less-robust content management systems and provide real-world examples of how deployed ECM solutions are helping enable enterprises to optimally manage their content, user accounts, and processes, consequently gaining a competitive market advantage. This study includes an analysis of market growth drivers and restraints, larger digital media, CMS trends and their  anticipated effect on the ECM marketplace, as well as individual market vertical revenue trends.

An enterprise content management (ECM) system is a large-scale, multi-functional, crossplatform content management system (CMS), designed to address the content management needs of enterprise-level organizations. ECM solutions have been a popular conceptual product solution for more than ten years. However, the definition of an ECM solution, as deployed, has been elusive and variable from the beginning. Vendors have tended to define ECM solutions by the solutions that they provide (excluding competitors solutions), while clients have defined it perhaps more loosely (allowing for vastly different integration models), and even analysts have defined it inconsistently over time.

In Frost & Sullivan's view, an ECM has always been a managed productivity tool, where an end-to-end content management system could solve many recurrent content management concerns, simply and efficiently. And whereas previous definitions have focused on componentized ECM technologies and capabilities, as well as the synergies that a natively integrated workflow can provide, today, we view ECM products as providing an architectural foundation for making content more accessible, immediate, and dynamically useful for client companies. As the concept and definition of an ECM solution has evolved, it has maintained its focus on core CMS needs, while adapting to changing demands and market forces. There are still many cultural and structural changes occurring in the larger digital content ecosystem that are driving changes within and responding to the core capabilities of ECM systems.

Whereas previously, Frost & Sullivan carefully defined an ECM around three core services, the shape of an ECM solution today can be explicitly variable. An ECM, similar to a digital asset management (DAM) or document management program has to capture, process, and deliver digital content, as needed, across a large organization. By this measure, the primary difference between a DAM and an ECM solution is the size of the possible deployment, where ECM solutions were designed for the largest and most complex deployments. Today, however, we define ECM as being capable of including these same competencies, yet being much more than an expanded CMS system.

Although a core, scalable content management component, and workflow are essential for an ECM solution, add-ons and periphery components vary widely depending on the needs of the organization. Variations can include a selection of web content management or user experience management tools, mobile and multi-device publishing programs, marketing process optimization, digital rights management (DRM), as well as content access and protection tools, content performance analytics tools, and other development tools, which are designed to allow clients and programmers to customize the ECM deployment to their current and developing needs while maintaining core CMS functionality.

Austria Consumer Appliances Industry

A respectable performance despite a continued slowdown in growth
The overall consumer appliances market saw a healthy performance for another year in both volume and current value terms in 2011, although the trend of slower growth continued. The end of the government reimbursement scheme for the replacement of old appliances with energy-efficient products in 2011 was partly the reason for the slower performance, as there were already a lot of households which had replaced appliances in 2010, and fewer did so in 2011. In addition, uncertainties surrounding the future of the euro started to affect Austria during the third quarter of 2011, with the result being an increasing number of households reverting to the cautious approach to the purchase of big-ticket items – including consumer appliances – which they adopted during the economic crisis a few years ago. Nevertheless, the positive development of the market in 2009 and 2010 also benefited the 2011 performance, and indicated that consumers were willing to invest in consumer appliances, ensuring continued positive, albeit slower, volume and value growth for 2011 overall.

Convenience and health drive innovation in consumer appliances
As a durables market, the key themes influencing demand for consumer appliances in Austria during 2011 were trends which had already been present in the market for a few years, namely convenience and health. Convenience was a very strong deciding factor amongst Austrian consumers when purchasing consumer appliances in 2011, driving sales of technological innovations which provide greater convenience in terms of efficiency, functionality and user-friendliness. The growth of coffee pod products within coffee machines, as well as robotic vacuum cleaners within vacuum cleaners, were key indicators of the strong performance of products which offer more convenience to consumers in 2011. Alongside the demand for products offering more convenience, consumers also increasingly demanded appliances which would facilitate healthier lifestyles, ranging from electric steamer ovens to refrigeration appliances which claim the capability of keeping the refrigerated food fresher for a longer period of time.

Treatment Algorithms: Rectal Cancer

The rectal cancer pipeline has grown as pharmaceutical companies are attracted by the high incidence and success of other developers. Cytotoxics will remain an integral part of treatment, but with key brands expected to come off patent over the forecast period and the approval of new therapies, treatment of this growing market is set to evolve.
Features and benefits

• Disease overview assessing, etiology, risk factors, screening procedures, and patient segmentation
• In-depth analysis of most common treatment types according to stage at diagnosis and patient characteristics
• Analysis of physician prescribing trends in the seven major markets across all stages of disease
• Analysis of possible future treatment trends with regard to targeted therapies and companion diagnostics

Highlights
The standard of care for Stage I–III rectal cancer is based around surgical resection. The use of radiotherapy-based treatment increases with stage, with 66% of Stage IIIc patients treated with surgery and chemoradiation. However, Japanese physicians interviewed indicated that they did not use chemoradiation.
First-line treatment of metastatic rectal cancer is based on chemotherapy. Datamonitor’s survey indicated that 85% of Stage IV patients receive treatment containing chemotherapy, and 34% receive chemotherapy without any additional therapy. The use of chemoradiation in the first-line setting can impact treatment choices in the second-line.
Datamonitor’s survey indicated that the use of targeted therapies in the first- and second-line settings will increase. Increasing pressure to demonstrate cost-effectiveness of drugs and anticipated approval of new targeted therapies means the use of companion diagnostics will play an increasingly important role in the treatment of rectal cancer.
