In-Home Senior Care Franchises in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld(0)
In-Home Senior Care Franchises in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 08, 2012 The In-Home Senior Care Franchises industry is benefiting from a growing number of aging baby boomers – seniors are now the fastest-growing segment of the population. In the five years to 2012, the number of adults older than 65 grew to 43 million people, up from 38 million in 2007. This number is expected to accelerate in the five years to 2017. As people live longer aided by advancements in technology and medicine, a growing number of seniors is looking to age in their homes and maintain independence for as long as possible. “Franchise establishments that provide medical and nonmedical in-home services allow seniors to do just that,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Andrea Alegria. The high cost of nursing homes and assisted living accommodations, coupled with escalating healthcare costs associated with hospital stays, has also continued to drive growth in demand for industry services. As a result, the industry revenue has grown at an average annual rate of 3.5% to .0 billion in the five years to 2012.
The franchise model has gained traction as a way to capture the business of assisting senior citizens who want to remain in their homes. According to Alegria, there are now more than 60 brands selling home healthcare franchises, which lure franchisees with moderate initial investment requirements and strong business support in key areas such as marketing and advertising. Franchise owners benefit from the clout and name recognition of strong national brands, instead of having to build reputations from the ground up as is the case with nonfranchise businesses. The number of In-Home Senior Care Franchises industry enterprises has grown at an average annual rate of 4.0% to 4,009 in the five years to 2012. Still, the industry has experienced an increase in mergers and acquisitions during the past five years due to larger corporations recognizing the opportunity in senior care and the advantages to size in the industry. Major franchise companies include Home Instead Inc., Interim HealthCare Inc. and Comfort Keepers.
Although the industry contracted slightly during the economic downturn, in-home senior care franchising has remained strong. Revenue declined slightly in 2008 and 2009 as disposable income shrunk and more family members cared for senior relatives themselves instead of hiring industry services. Nonetheless, industry revenue has grown each year since and is expected to grow over 2012. In the next five years, the pace of revenue growth will accelerate as demand for services grows. And the number of industry enterprises will also continue to increase over the period as demand for services balloons in line with the senior demographic.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 28, 2011 Fate of the SMT equipment market is closely intertwined with the global electronics manufacturing industry. As such the global economic turmoil had profound impact on the SMT equipment market, with growth rates shifting to the negative territory from the dizzying double-digit growth rates of the last decade. The recession forced financial institutions to adopt stringent credit policies, thereby drying up funds for the SMT manufacturers. Sales of the SMT equipment were also affected by increasing liabilities and low credit ratings of several electronic assemblers. Flexibility became the key mantra for survival, with manufacturers supplying flexible machines that facilitate electronic assemblers in reducing their manufacturing costs through optimum utilization of installed capacity. In addition, SMT equipment manufacturers also resorted to providing value-added services, extending financial assistance to electronics manufacturers and introducing innovative products to meet the changing needs of electronics manufacturers.
However, with the global economy rebounding from the financial crisis by 2010, the SMT equipment market also bounced back.

SMT equipment holds an edge in this sphere, due to its ability to mount electronic components efficiently and quickly onto both the sides of the PCB. Rising demand for flexible and reliable equipment from the medical device sector are fuelling sales of high-end SMT equipment.
SMT Placement Equipment represents the largest product segment within the SMT equipment market. Design and process innovations enhancing the ease-of-use, productivity, versatility, and speed of the equipment comprise the key growth harbingers for the segment. The world of inspection systems continues to eye a new breed of systems that are primed to spearhead the sales of the segment. Automated Optical Inspection Systems and Automated X-Ray Inspection systems comprise the market’s hottest sellers, owing to higher yield and profitability enhancing prowess. SMT inspection is gaining rapid impetus in the PCB assembly. PCB Assemblers are increasingly turning to the deployment of high-speed Automated Optical Inspection systems in their production processes in an attempt to curtail costs of rework and repair.
Accompanying the global shift in production from the West to East is the issue of patent infringements, which is becoming a serious cause of concern for large players. In addition, growing clamor for environment protection across the world is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce energy wastage and adopt other environment friendly measures. Accordingly, manufacturers are opting for energy efficient and environment friendly SMT equipment. In order to retain or increase market share as well as to enhance profitability, value added services have become a key differentiating point.

Global Market for Original Design Manufacturing to Reach $161.1 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(0)
Global Market for Original Design Manufacturing to Reach 1.1 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 12, 2011 The manufacturing culture has evolved over the decades, from centralized production to gradual decentralization and disintegration of vertical manufacturing processes. Strategic outsourcing has diversified supply chain functions in line with the concept’s evolution from outsourcing parts and components to ideas. This outsourcing of research and design ideas have brought into the spotlight original design manufacturers (ODM). Manufacturing systems revolving around design and production have splintered over the decades with design knowledge increasingly being outsourced to original design manufacturers (ODM). As a result there has been a steady rise in the OEM–ODM contracts. Numerous advantages, such as, improved lead times, access to broader design experience (i.e. architecture design, mechanical and electrical engineering), flexible system to accommodate design changes/modifications, among others have encouraged Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to gravitate towards ODMs.
Given that fortunes in the ODM industry are closely tied to industrial, automotive and consumer electronics, wireless & wired communications, and data processing technologies, which have witnessed significant disruptions in business activity/prospects in 2008 & 2009 due to economic recession, the global Original Design Manufacturing market too suffered a major set back during the period. Bad economy and deteriorating business climate resulted in OEMs scaling back production as a knee jerk reaction to the soft business environment prevalent in most end-use sectors. Spooked by the financial crisis, lack of credit availability, and muted consumer demand for electronic products such as, personal computers, and cellphones, manufacturers reined in capital spending. Cut backs on consumer device manufacturing capacity expansion, reduced capacity utilization and closure of plants, directly sliced through ODM revenues. In the IT industry, including networking and servers & storage, reduced corporate/enterprise IT budgets, as a result of poor financial strength displaced ODM opportunities at large. The manufacturing sector additionally has been the worst hit by the recession with the slowing down of economic activity including reduced manufacturing and commercial activity impacting industrial production.
Reduced capacity utilization, and excess capacity at OEMs resulted in OEMs resorting to in-house design and development this reducing business orders for ODMs. The telecommunication industry, like all other industry was also acutely impacted by the crisis. The unusually pronounced length, breath, depth and magnitude of the recession has taken a large bite out of carriers’ revenues, and profitability. Decline in consumer usage of telecommunication services, lower levels of new subscriber additions, falling average revenue per user, traffic reductions have distorted the business climate over the last two years. Additionally, drying up of the debt market and the resulting shortages in capital investments, played instrumental roles in derailing network coverage expansion, and upgradation schedules. The gloomy business environment in the telecommunication industry has had a trickle down impact on telecommunication equipment and on the OEM activities in this space. ODMs as a result witnessed hurting fall in order inflows during the period 2009.
With recession now having played out its part in full proportions and the manufacturing activity in most of the industry segments having hitting rock bottom, the worst is now over for ODMs, as evident by the improvement in its revenue growth during 2010. A quick resurgence in growth fundamentals post recession, such as recovery in GDP growth, improvement in consumer demand for end-products and subsequent rise in production at OEM level, and general increase in business confidence, will help drive increased ODM contracts over the next few years. Stimulus packages offered by governments across the globe to infuse vigor in the ailing manufacturing sector will additionally drive increased production, thereby creating opportunities for ODMs. With companies waking up to the fact that undeterred focus on long-term plans is critical in warding off the impact of the economic slowdown, creative designs, new product form factors, and technology specifications will continue to come to the market across different product segments, thus creating the need for ODM services. Digital consumer electronics products in particular is forecast to witness innovation in form factors in the upcoming years and this thereby bodes well for ODMs, who can expect new design orders to come their way. Efforts by OEMs to leverage ODM services to tap low cost product markets in emerging countries and simultaneously maintain competitiveness and profitability, also bodes well for the future of the ODM market.
As stated by the new market research report on Original Design Manufacturing, Asia-Pacific remains the most prominent regional market for original design manufacturing services, having a stranglehold on the global market. Growth in the Asia-Pacific market is especially driven by the robust production scenario in the region, particularly Taiwan and China, thanks to increasing demand for electronic peripherals, computers, networking and telecommunication equipment in the region. Computer industry represents the largest end-use sector for ODM services. Electronic Peripherals sector is one of the key growth areas for ODM services, with revenues from the segment waxing at a CAGR of about 5.9% over the analysis period.
Major players in the marketplace include Arima Group, ASUSTek Computer Inc., Compal Electronics Inc., Elitegroup Computer Systems Co. Ltd., Flextronics International Ltd., Foxconn Electronics Inc., Inventec Corporation, Lite-On Technology Corporation, MiTAC International Corp., One & Co, Qisda Corporation, Quanta Computer Incorporated, Sanmina-SCI Corp, Venture Corporation Limited, Wistron Corporation, among others.
The research report titled “Original Design Manufacturing (ODM): A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues, drivers, company profiles, and key strategic industry activities. The report analyzes the global ODM market by key end-use sectors such as Computers, Consumer Devices, Electronic Peripherals, Telecommunication Equipment, Networking Equipment, and Servers & Storage Equipment among others. Market estimates and projections are presented for all major geographic markets including North America, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific (China, Taiwan, & Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World.

Global Financial Services Industry Leverages on Improved De-risking Mechanisms and Cost Reductions for Future Growth, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts
San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 Follow us on LinkedIn – The financial services sector is a major consumer of a wide collection of business services and products. Apart from being an economic power, the industry drives other business operations, setting standards and contributing to achievements. The industry is the focal point to other sectors of the market, as the service provides the much needed finance to further their business operations. The industry is highly susceptible to market changes and needs to adapt on a quick time basis according to the changing environment. The emergence of niche players is heating up the sector, though there has been a decrease in the number of financial institutions. The entry of non-financial organizations into the Financial Services market is fast churning the sector, upping the ante even more. Rising competition and saturating markets in the developed countries have compelled big players in the international banking industry to explore emerging markets, which are still unexploited and unexplored. Growing income amongst the middle class population and developing economic conditions are the catalysts for emerging markets to flourish in the financial sector. With the rapidly increasing internet user-base and the growing craze for social media channels, the trend of using social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook is also fast catching up in the financial services industry.
In the present scenario, the financial services market is witnessing myriad developments that are positively influencing the market, particularly in the banking sector. From the increased proliferation of internet banking and mobile banking to the increased usage of social media channels, the banking industry is transforming itself to suit the needs of new-age customers. Even in the insurance sector, the growing popularity of providing insurance through banks i.e. bancassurance is gaining all the more importance particularly in the developing nations such as Latin America and Asia-Pacific due to the extensive reach and relatively lower costs advantages provided by this channel of distribution. Adroit usage of the Internet and social media channels witnessed lately is expected to augur well for the market owing to the role that such media are expected to play in the process of re-building lost confidence of customers.
The worldwide financial services industry is anticipated to benefit largely from increasing levels of investments and promising growth opportunities in the Mobile Banking market. Although the initial focus was primarily on balance updates using text messages, the growing utilization of mobile Internet is allowing customers to carry out complex transactions too. Growing convergence of technologies has led to the advent of a wide variety of smartphones that are capable of facilitating Internet banking. As a result, the distinction between mobile banking and Internet banking is slowly blurring. Rapid strides made by the mobile Internet market is expected to promote the uptake of mobile banking services, thereby becoming a key strategy for banks’ business activities. Banks are increasingly offering ‘push’ or ‘transactional’ mobile banking services, by using mobile web or downloadable applications.

Global Biochips Market to Reach US$3.7 Billion by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(0)
Global Biochips Market to Reach US.7 Billion by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (Vocus/PRWEB) February 23, 2011 Biochips, though developed initially for use in genome analysis, are now playing a critical role in gene identification in human DNA. In addition to the increasing usage in protein, diagnostics, toxicological, and biochemical research applications, biochips also enable rapid detection of chemical agents in chemical and biological warfare. The global financial crisis presented enormous challenges for the biochip industry, as biotech firms found it difficult to attract funding thereby affecting the development and commercial availability of new products. The US has been one of the worst affected markets in the biotech industry, while the cautious approach of investors is hampering prospects in developing biotech markets. The impact of credit crunch has been particularly severe on smaller companies, which need enormous cash inputs for sustaining expensive drug research operations but suffer due to lack of sales. Despite the adversities, biochips hold enormous promise in areas such as homeland security, environmental monitoring, and public health. Some of the potential applications for biochips include rapid diagnosis of various infectious diseases, instantaneous classification of biological warfare agents, and faster identification of crime suspects.
The United States and Europe cumulatively accounts for a lion’s share of the global market, as stated by the new market research report on Biochips. The biochip products and services market in the US is anticipated to grow steadily, led by increased usage in epidemiological research and drug discovery activities. In particular, protein characterization and analysis is expected to offer the fastest growth opportunity among all technologies. Biochips are expected to gain prominence for use in specific applications such as nucleic acid biomarkers in the field of in vitro diagnostics testing, owing to significant improvements in speed and accuracy. However, cost disadvantages are likely to prevent greater use of biochips in other applications.
DNA chips segment dominates the biochip market, although the segment has been witnessing sluggish growth due to the maturity of gene expression market. Nevertheless, the emergence of new applications, such as SNP genotyping, is likely to accelerate growth for the DNA chips market. The United States represents the single largest market for DNA chips. Protein chips segment is set for robust growth driven by the anticipated rise in demand from proteomics and gene expression profiling applications. Rapid advancements in genomics technology have led to enhanced emphasis on analysis of specific actions pertinent to gene-coded proteins and genes, a significant transformation from the earlier focus on deciphering genetic code sequences. Academic laboratories and pharmaceutical companies are likely to remain the major markets for biochip products and services. Europe represents the largest global market for protein chips.
Biochips industry is presently experiencing a shift away from R&D tools towards applied applications in the fields of clinical diagnostics, advanced sequencing, and drug discovery and development. Such a shift is led by the enormous efforts in associating genetic variations with susceptibility and progression of diseases. The industry focus has also shifted towards miniaturization as well as integration of biochip devices, which are aimed at reducing biochip cost, authenticating usage for clinical diagnostics, and enhancing their portability.
Biochips industry is a highly competitive market involving the presence of both large and small market participants.

Global Specialty Tourism Sector is Poised for Steady Growth, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(0)
Global Specialty Tourism Sector is Poised for Steady Growth, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 10, 2012 Follow us on LinkedIn – Tourism industry dynamics are significantly influenced by the highs and lows of the global economy as it affects the level of consumer confidence. As travelers from the developed nations make up for a large proportion of total tourists, the industry was hit hard by the recession that engulfed the global economy. Rise in unemployment rates, salary cutbacks and reduction in travel-related programs by businesses led to a considerable decline in number of tourists, thereby affecting the overall revenues. The effect was also evident on various sectors including leisure and business tourism, incentive travel, cruise tourism and shopping tourism, all of which witnessed a significant decline. A large number of regular travelers reduced their traveling frequencies, while new and prospective travelers deferred their travel plans. However, some tourism segments, specifically medical tourism, continued to grow despite the financial crisis. The tourism sector recovered in 2010 and exhibited growth in 2011 with consumer confidence and enthusiasm heading back to pre-recession levels.
Over the years, Specialty Tourism has responded to public’s interest in educational, health and active tours. Changes in technology, society and economy have led to increased ease in traveling. Traveling has become cheaper and convenient with the availability of more airplanes, air routes, surface vehicles, and roads. In addition, abundant and easily accessible information is provided to travelers. The specialty tourism market is expected to exhibit continuous growth in the coming years and become the dominant segment of the overall tourism industry.
Medical tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the tourism industry. Increasing health awareness levels, low medical costs, less waiting time are driving medical tourism, with a significant portion of the tourists flow directed towards developing nations such as India, Brazil and Thailand, among others. Asia-Pacific medical tourism industry accounts for a significant portion of the worldwide medical tourism market, with the region attracting travelers from Europe, North America and Australia largely due to the cost factor. The availability of well-qualified and skilled medical professionals and advanced medical techniques favors the region’s growth as the hub of medical tourism. Adventure tourism is another key sector of the leisure travel market, which includes a variety of outbound activities such as such as scuba diving, rock climbing, canoeing or kayaking, paragliding, mountaineering and windsurfing. Growth in the sector is driven by an upsurge in the number of enthusiasts venturing into adventure sports.

Global Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings Market to Reach US$136.8 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.(0)
Global Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings Market to Reach US6.8 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 23, 2011 Pipes, primarily used to transport liquid and gaseous substances, are an indispensable part of water and oil related industries. Market for pipes and pipe/hose fittings is highly variable and dependent on factors, such as economic conditions, growth in GDP, consumer purchasing power, and the overall health of the end-user industries. The protracted economic downturn and credit crisis combined with volatility in raw material prices has caused weak demand, and a substantial fall of volume and dollar sales in the pipe industry. Weakened consumer demand from housing and construction, oil and gas, automotive sector, sewage, drinking water, agriculture, industrial equipment and machinery, and energy markets, negatively impacted the market during the years 2008 & 2009. The construction industry, which represents a major high volume end-user of pipes, was one of the first sectors to be hit by the downturn due to lower demand for distribution and general construction pipes for non-residential/ residential buildings, and civil engineering sector. The mélange of factors such as reduced household wealth, lower consumer purchasing power, declining new housing starts, steep deceleration in housing demand and rising inventory of unsold new, and existing homes caused a sharp decline in demand for building materials, such as pipes and pipe hoses. Also, governments across the world delayed capital expenditure, and several new public works projects and infrastructure spending have been put on hold, causing a knock-on effect on the pipe and pipe hose industry.
The recession also made a disproportionate impact on industrial production as a result of reduced manufacturing, commercial, and economic activity, thereby hurting demand from oil & gas segment, city gas pipe projects, irrigation, water & sewage, and replacement demand. In the field of energy industry, a severe pull back in exploration activity was witnessed due to persistently weak global economic environment drying up of the debt market and the resulting shortages in capital investments, and recession-induced lower demand for mineral commodities. New oil & gas exploration and production projects worldwide were postponed due to fall in global commodity prices, resulting into reduced orders.
The weak global economy, sluggish residential/commercial construction, and falling GDP levels, meant that most pipe companies posted sluggish results for the year 2010. As stated by the new market research report, Europe and Asia-Pacific account for a major share of the global Pipes and Pipe/Hose Fittings market. Even as the ongoing recessionary trends in the world economy works as a dampener on the pipes market in the short-term, growth is forecast to pick up in the medium term as the economy recovers from its present crisis. Growth fundamentals such as, the escalating energy requirements demand due to population increases, rising stress on water supplies, and mounting interest in producing lead-free pipes are all forecast to swing back into action, driving growth in the post recession period.
With signs of stronger economic conditions, shriveling inventories, and price hikes, the pipe industry is expected to look up with the resumption of normalcy beginning from 2011. The emerging economies will be the critical factor in driving world pipe and pipe/hose fittings demand in the post recession period. Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest market for pipes increasing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the analysis period. Worldwide pipe companies are eyeing the lucrative market of the Middle East where, the energy and construction sector, the main pipe consumers, holds out the promise of good business despite a slight weakening caused by the global financial meltdown. Advancements in drinking water transfer systems, and sewage and drainage systems are expected to drive the market for plastic pipes. Global market revenues for PVC Pipes are expected to surge at a CAGR of 3.0 % during the analysis period.
Major players in the marketplace include Aristovolos G. Petzetakis S.A, Advanced Drainage Systems, Aliaxis SA, Arkema SA, Amanco, American Ductile Iron Pipe, Ameron International, Arcelor Mittal, Aronkasei, CertainTeed Corporation, ChevronPhilips Chemical, Couplamatic Systems, Eaton Hydraulics Group, Europipe, Evraz Inc NA, Hanson Pipe and Precast Inc, Hobas Pipe, Ipex, KWH Pipe, Lamson & Sessions, National Pipe and Plastics, Nibco, Nippon Steel Corp, Pipelife International, Polypipe Group, REHAU AG + Co, Royal Group Technologies, Stupp Corp, Sumitomo Metal Industries, Tenaris Group, Tessenderlo Group, Uponor, US Steel Corp., Wavin N.V., among others.
