Energy Drinks Industry Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

With incredible growth rates off a low base in the early 2000s, the Energy Drink industry has slowed down its pace over the five years to 2011. Yet the industry continues to achieve double-digit growth, according to IBISWorld, the nations largest publisher of industry research. As the energy drink market gradually becomes saturated it will grow only slightly in the next five years. The popularity of the energy drink industry has attracted business investment and encouraged innovation and new product introductions. For this reason, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Energy Drink Industry to its growing Wellness Nutrition & Supplements report collection.

According to IBISWorld research, The Energy Drink Industry is attracting businesses and driving industry expansion. Over the past five years, rapid growth in the energy drinks industry stirred up interest in beverage companies, leading to an influx of producers. During the five years to 2011, a quick rise in the popularity of energy drinks such as Rockstar and Monster initially propelled growth. Major players in the industry include Hansen Natural, which owns Monster Energy which is distributed nationwide, Red Bull, Rockstar Energy Drink and The Coca-Cola Company which produces Smartwater, which is considered a functional drink because it is enhanced with electrolytes.

According to IBISWorld analyst, Agata Kaczanowska, the success of the Energy Drink Industry has stimulated product innovation since 2006. With investment by beverage behemoths like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, hybrid drinks such as sport energy drinks have surfaced on the market in large numbers, drawing consumer interest, says Kaczanowska .The major players have become heavily involved in the production of industry products.

As energy drinks achieve market saturation, regulators are cracking down on the marketing of these and other products, according to IBISWorld. In the aftermath of several products like Four Loco and other energy beers being abruptly pulled off of shelves in several states, industry players will be more wary of potential bans or new regulations. According to IBISWorld, this will be especially true when companies deal with non-traditional content combinations like these caffeinated alcoholic drinks, which were banned in 2010. Likewise, new products like energy pills and relaxation drinks, which promote a calmer method for people to focus at work, are increasing competition for the energy drink industry. As companies reclassify products, demand will shift to other industries. Similarly, marketing will be increasingly tricky as health concerns spill into public debate over the five years to 2016.

Global Mammography Equipment Market to Reach US$1.0 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn Worldwide, awareness about breast cancer is rising, with more women coming forward for their yearly mammograms after the age of 40 years or earlier if required, resulting in increased usage of mammography for the detection of breast cancer. Rising significance of systematic early detection of breast cancer across the world, particularly in developed countries, is a major driving force for increased adoption of mammography procedures. Incidence of breast cancer varies geographically with developed countries such as the US and Western Europe recording high incidence rate, in comparison to developing countries of Africa, South America, and Asia Pacific. Amongst the two types of mammography equipment, Analog and digital, the latter ranks as the fastest growing spurred mainly by enormous technical capabilities and significant revenue potential.

Digital mammography is leading to the development of newer applications in breast screening, including contrast enhanced mammography, digital tomosynthesis, and fusion techniques combining other imaging methodologies such as MRI and ultrasound. On the other hand, the market for analog mammography equipment is set to witness decline due to the rapid adoption of digital technology. Alternative technologies including Breast Ultrasound, Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI), and Nuclear Breast Imaging are strong contenders for mammography. The global market is characterized by high levels of concentration, with few large players including GE, Hologic and Siemens, controlling a lions share of the market mainly because of their ability to pump-in huge investments into the capital intensive industry. Of late, the market has been witnessing participants taking the route of strategic acquisitions and alliances, strengthening R&D activities, and exploring newer markets to reinforce their network for more effective diagnosis as well as treatment of breast cancer.

Despite restrictions posed by the current economic climate, which is leading to a decline in health expenditure, the global mammography equipment market is predicted to grow on a continuous basis encouraged mainly by increasing implementations of breast cancer screening programs in emerging markets. Developing countries offer huge potential for growth as the current markets are relatively small. Usage of less costly alternatives such as infrared imaging and physical tests is rampant in these markets because procurement of mammography equipment is a costly affair. However, recent strides in information technology and its application and increasing emphasis on womens health are expected to fuel demand for mammography systems in the developing world.

The US commands the leading position as the largest regional market, garnering a significant share in the worldwide mammography equipment market, as stated by the new market research report on Mammography Equipment. The Asian market for mammography displays immense potential for future growth. The market in Asia is forecast to race ahead of other world regions with the fastest CAGR of 9.4% over the analysis period. By product segment, digital mammography equipment accounts for a significant chunk of the global mammography equipment market.

Global Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems Market to Reach US$14 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn - Technologies that accentuate the conservation, cleaning up, and generation of reliable electricity would sustain the future of modern digital economies. Demand for power across the globe is growing at a robust pace annually, riding on thriving economies. The insatiable demand for clean and reliable power supply is growing with each passing day and positions itself as a market to tap for the UPS industry. More than half of the electricity demand is accounted by the information technology market, making it a force to reckon with. In the US alone, about 8% of the electricity is consumed by the use of Internet, ranking it higher than the steel and chemical industries. The global consumption of electrical power is projected to leap to 20 trillion kilowatt-hours by 2015. Power problems such as outages, brownouts, and blackouts therefore result in colossal loss to an economy. Power management technologies are portended to rule high in the coming years. There exists huge opportunity for manufacturers who specialize in meeting the evolving demands in the electricity market. The old line of utility management sufficiently stands to lose away their hold in face of newer technologies.

The financial crisis led world economic recession during the period 2007-2009, not surprisingly left the global UPS market hurting. The level of impact wielded by the recession can be thrown into sharp relief by the fact that market distortions, such as, fall in the business confidence index, bleeding corporate balance sheets, enterprise skepticism over infrastructure investments, tight liquidity/financial constraints, lack of credit availability, high borrowing rates and capital shortages to fund new investments in telecommunications, IT infrastructure, plants and equipment, together resulted in hurting erosion in market value in the year 2009. Corporate clamp down on IT budgets, for instance, resulted in declines in new purchases of computing and technology products and delays in data center expansions, which in turn exerted pressure on UPS systems, which are used to provide instantaneous protection to electronic devices/equipments/products against abrupt power failures and interruptions and voltage fluctuations i.e. voltage sags, spikes and surge. Computer and technology products for home users additionally was severely impacted as a result of falling incomes, reducing household wealth, lower discretionary spends, rising unemployment, and crumbling consumer confidence, thus impacting sales of UPS systems in the consumer market.

Downturn in the semiconductor industry resulted in decline in UPS demand from the semiconductor wafer fabrication sector, wherein wafer fab plants are the largest end-users. Diminished manufacturing and commercial activity and the resulting declines in manufacturing output and industrial production reduced demand for electrical machinery, in the process weakening demand for industrial UPS systems. With the recession turning most end-use customers price sensitive, volatility in raw material prices forced manufacturers to absorb increases in production costs thus thinning profit margins further.

A part of the power quality industry, UPS systems although flayed by the recent recession, witnessed smart recovery in the year 2010, largely as a result of the growing ubiquity of power electronic devices and the continued steady resurgence in networking, telecommunication functions and continuous data and network services. Growing population, introduction of power grids and rise in number of electrification projects, resurgence in manufacturing activities, have all swung back to action spurring the recovery in demand for industrial UPS systems. Also, with the increasing adoption of a digitally-based lifestyle by majority of consumers, computing and storage requirements will continue to surge creating demand for reliable power management tools. The improving economy will result in the establishment of new datacenters thus wielding a positive impact on orders from the datacenters, which are the key revenue generators for the market.

Going forwards, the market will be primarily driven by growing enterprise adoption of virtualization as a technology for enhancing data center operations, as a strategy for complying with green IT agenda. As virtualization causes densities to surge and existing power protection solutions may not necessarily handle the new set-up, it offers a good proposition for resellers selling UPS. Growing complexity of ICT infrastructures and widespread deployment of high density computing infrastructures, which have reduced the tolerance of business processes and systems to power outages also serve as a business case for increased adoption of UPS systems in the upcoming years. With the potential risk of power failures being IT system breakdown, loss of critical data, inability to provide customer services and business losses, among others, demand for sophisticated power management solutions will continue to remain strong thus benefiting the UPS systems market.

As stated by the new market research report on Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems, Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for UPS systems with revenue from the region waxing at a CAGR of about 15.8% over the analysis period. Continuous investments in industry and infrastructure by governments in the region are particularly driving robust growth in the Asia-Pacific market. Less than 5 KVA UPS Systems represents the largest product segment.

Major players in the marketplace include Active Power Inc., Eaton Corporation, Schneider Electric, Piller Power Systems, Riello UPS Ltd., Tripp Lite, among others.

The research report titled Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems: A Global Strategic Business Report announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of current market trends, key growth drivers, recent industry activity, and profiles major companies worldwide. The report provides market estimates and projections for routers across all major geographic markets including US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific Latin America, and Rest of World.
