Corporate Strategy on Global Soft Drinks Market

Danone, Nestlé and PepsiCo seem to be busy fighting for market share in packaged foods, and their soft drinks business enjoy limited resources. TCCC has a focused soft drinks business and it appears to be stronger in marketing and building its core brands than PepsiCo. The market has seen boutique style acquisitions continue, as there is a lack of large candidates in developed markets. Emerging markets such as the Middle East and Africa continue to offer long-term growth potential.

Most major companies have seen their sales driven by key emerging markets, such as China, Mexico and Brazil. Nestlé outperformed its multinational peers thanks to its China Yinlu acquisition.

The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) leads the overall soft drinks market and PepsiCo continues to trail behind by a large margin. TCCC's wider geographical presence and successful push in low-calorie carbonates in developed markets support its strong global leadership. PepsiCo’s marginal position in Indonesia represents a weak spot.

Japanese companies continue to expand globally and are a strong force in the M&A market. Kirin’s acquisition of Brazil’s Schin may encourage more Japanese deals in Latin America in the medium term. Suntory has also made alliances in Indonesia and Vietnam.

The key strategies for the leading manufacturers of soft drinks are increasing capacity, building up infrastructure, and the localisation of international brands and products. A major push in core growth categories is recommended. Carbonates producers are also expanding their ranges of healthier drinks, such as low-calorie drinks.

Major deals have taken place in both developed and major emerging markets. A shortage of major targets in developed market has prompted a “boutique“-style mode of acquisition. Nestlé’s Yinlu acquisition highlights its localisation strategy.

Hypolipidemic Drug Market in China Research Report, 2012-2013

As the population further aging in China, the proportion of diseases such as hypertension caused by hyperlipidemia in cardiovascular diseases of the elderly presents an increasing trend year by year which severely threatens the life safety of people. Therefore, the search for hypolipidemic drugs with significant efficacy, safety and reliability has been a long-term and quite popular research subject in the pharmaceutical field.

According to surveys, the overall morbidity rate of dyslipidemia groups aged 18 and above is over 20% in China, and total patients are over 200 million nationwide. Blood lipid levels and morbidity rate of dyslipidemia of Chinese people are still lower than that in most developed countries. However, with the development of China's economy, improvement in people's living standards and changes in lifestyle, the morbidity rate of dyslipidemia gradually rises. Meanwhile, diabetes and metabolic syndrome closely related to dyslipidemia are also common in China.

According to market research, the market size of China's hypolipidemic drugs exceeded CNY 12 billion in 2011, with an annual growth rate of over 15 %.

At present, blood lipid controlling drugs in the Chinese market are mainly divided into five categories: statins, fibrates, nicotinic acids, resins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, also including some other drugs. Statins and fibrates occupy the largest market share in the Chinese market, and applications of other drugs are relatively a few. In terms of the market share of major varieties, the total market share of the top 5 hypolipidemic drug varieties in China was over 80% in 2009. Among them, the top 4 products all were statins (respectively: Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin and Fluvastatin), which occupied nearly 80% of the market share. In 2011, the market share of the top 5 varieties in China's hypolipidemic market was 82.64%. Among them, the top 4 products were still statins (respectively: Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin and Fluvastatin), which accounted for 78% of the share. It is obvious that statin products are main forces in hyperlipidemia treatment drug market of China. Statins are always in leading positions in China's hypolipidemic drug market. Because of excellent effects, little side effects and other multiple effects including lowering overall mortality rate, statin drugs are major drugs in the joint lipid-lowering program, thus occupying a most advantageous position clinically.

The overall performance of China's hypolipidemic drugs in the drug market is better than that of the entire drug and cardiovascular system drug markets, showing a strong growth momentum. The expansion speed of hypolipidemic drug market is evidently higher than that of the cardiovascular drug market, and the proportion in cardiovascular system drugs gradually rises.

China's Integrated Circuit (IC) Industry Research Report, 2013-2017

Entering the 21st century, China's IC industry steps into the rapidly growing period. From 2000 to 2007, China's IC industry maintained the rapid growth, with the average annual growth rate of 31.3%. Although it was shocked by international financial crises which resulted in two consecutive negative growths in 2008 and 2009, the growth rate of the IC industry gradually recovers after 2010. On the whole, the average annual compound growth rate in the decade from 2001 to 2010 reached 22.7%. China becomes one of the countries with the rapidest growing IC industry in the world. By 2011, the size of China's IC industry achieved CNY 157.2 billion, with the proportion further increasing to 9.8% in the global IC market.

In recent years, China's IC design industry swiftly develops, with the industrial proportion rising from 17.7% in 2005 to 30.1% in 2011. In 2011, Hisilicon and Spreadtrum separately ranked the sixteenth and seventeenth in IC design enterprises globally. The proportion of chip manufacturing maintained about 1/3. The chip OEM industry rapidly develops. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) was listed as the fourth in pure semiconductor OEM enterprises globally in 2011. As for packaging enterprises, Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. ranks among the top 10 packaging & testing enterprises in the world.

In past years, China's IC market always moved forward at the growth rate substantially higher than that of global semiconductor market, which becomes the largest IC market in the world. By the end of 2011, the market share proportion of China's ICs in the global market was 50.5%.

Although the development of China's IC industry tended to be slow in 2011, it still realized the increase of 9.2% YOY. In fact, China's IC market always moves forward at the growth rate higher than that of global integrated industry since 2005. During 2005 and 2011, the average annual compound growth rate of China's IC industry was 14.4%. However, in terms of the application market of the industry, it was noticed that the average annual compound growth rate of China's IC market demand also achieved 13.3% during 2005 and 2011. The growth of market demand offsets against China's industrial development. The situation that “80% of China's IC chips depend on imports” will not change in the short term. In 2011, the import value of China's ICs reached USD 170.2 billion, accounting for 22.6% of total import value of China's mechanical and electrical products. It is continuously the domestic product with the largest import value, with continuously widened import & export deficit, reaching USD 137.63 billion.

The development of the industry throughout cannot keep pace with the growth rate of domestic market. The largest deficit in import & export trade indicates that the overall strength of China's IC industry is rather weak.

The rapid growth in China's IC design industry leads to the continuously expanded demand for domestic chip OEM. In 2011, the size of China's IC design industry reached CNY 47.37 billion, with the average annual compound growth rate of 41.4% in the decade, which was far higher than the growth rate of China's other industries and global industries. The rapid development of design industry scale creates huge markets for chip OEM. In 2011, the demand amount of OEM in China's IC design industry was over USD 2 billion, exceeding the OEM revenue of Samsung in the whole year. At present, the business revenue of special technology foundries such as Huahong, NEC (including Shanghai Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) and CSMC Technologies Corporation are mainly from domestic IC design clients. Among the OEM business of SMIC, design enterprises account for an increasingly high proportion. In 2011, the growth rate of orders in domestic design enterprises was over 20%.

Although China's IC design industry raises large demand for chip OEM, China's chip OEM industry faces two bottlenecks in technologies and investments which cannot fully fulfill the domestic market demand. Over half OEM demand of China's IC design industry is undertaken by foundries such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC), UMC and Global Foundry out of the mainland China. TSMC accounts for the largest share of OEM market in mainland China. In 2011, the domestic client proportion of SMIC drastically increased, but the revenue proportion of domestic client business was only 32.7%. Chip OEM business by 0.18um-65nm processes accounted for nearly 90% of SMIC revenue. Moreover, chip OEM business by high-end 45nm-40nmprocesses is nearly undertaken by other foundries completely. Domestic integrated design enterprises generally seek for overseas OEM mainly because of gaps in chip production techniques and reliability. In addition, the less investment amount in manufacturing is a retraining factor. The gradually widened technological gaps and insufficiency in continuous investments cause the proportion of China's IC manufacturing in global industries to continuously reduce. The proportion of China's IC manufacturing in the top 15 manufacturers globally dipped from over 9% in 2008 to less than 7% in 2011.




In addition, China's IC design enterprises are characterized with generally small scales, scattered distribution and severe homogenization which also cause barriers to M&A. The majority of small-sized enterprises are only satisfied with the market development of low-end products, lacking strategic goals and long-term plans. A substantial part of enterprises do not adapt to the change in business modes internationally.

China owns the largest consumer group of electronic terminals, manufacture base of complete electronic appliances and IC consumer market in the world. With the sustainable development of China's economy, there are lots of opportunities for the development of China's IC industry in recent years.

Portugal Non-Life Insurance Market Key Trends and Opportunities to 2016

The report provides in depth market analysis, information and insights into the Portuguese non-life insurance market, including:
• The Portuguese non-life insurance market’s growth prospects by non-life insurance categories
• The various distribution channels in the Portuguese non-life insurance market
• The competitive landscape in the non-life insurance market in Portugal
• A description of the non-life reinsurance market in Portugal

Summary
The written premium of the Portuguese non-life insurance segment decreased during the review period. The decrease was a result of reduced property demand in the domestic market, decreased passenger car sales and limited motor and property insurance demand. The segmental growth was further decelerated by the weak economic development and ongoing sovereign debt crisis in key EU member states. High unemployment levels and a marginal decline in annual disposable income also delayed liability insurance policy sales and discouraged overall growth in the non-life segment. However, the Portuguese government took a number of actions, including an economic stimulus package which aimed to spur the country’s economy on and improve macroeconomic fundamentals.

After lead futures was successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Mar. 24, 2011, four major basic nonferrous metals in China were all listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. However, trade varieties of China's futures market still lag behind that of international markets.

In 2011, the total import & export trade amount of China's nonferrous metals reached an all-time high, achieving USD 160.7 billion, with an increase of 28% YOY. Among it, the import amount was USD 117.5 billion, increasing by 21% YOY; the export amount was USD 43.2 billion, increasing by 52.7% YOY. The deficit amount of import & export trade in the whole year was USD 74.4 billion, with a rise of 8% YOY. In terms of products, the import volume of copper, aluminum and lead smelting products all presented the declining trend. The import volume of bauxite sharply increased and the export volume of aluminum materials maintained the soaring momentum. However, in view of aggravated trade friction, it brings more difficulties to exports and the growth rate of raw material export amount will evidently drop.

China is to enter the mid-to-late industrialization. The nonferrous metal industry will usher in new market opportunities. At present, the consumption per capita of China's copper, aluminum and zinc is less than one-third of that in developed countries. Therefore, there is large space for the development of China's nonferrous metal market in the future.
