bharatbookgroup — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:09:31 +0000

Rising health concerns have led to consumers becoming more conscious of their sugar intake, prompting food makers to increase the inclusion of low-calorie sugar substitutes in their new product formulations. This research brief outlines the extent and specifics of consumers” sweetener concerns and preferences, and what future opportunities exist for sweetener product development

Scope

*A concise slidepack outlining the driving and inhibiting factors influencing the development of sweeteners globally

*Combines consumer trend/insight analysis with new product development (NPD) observations

Highlights

Sugar (sucrose) is the most popular sweetener added to foods, but rising obesity rates cause more attention to be paid to products” sugar content. This is well reflected by the perceived influence of low-sugar claims on the product choices that consumers make and the self-reported attentiveness among consumers towards sugar intake

Datamonitor expects awareness of low-calorie sweetenersboth commercially and among consumersto increase considerably in the next few years as regularity environments become more permissive. Innovations in the sweetener market can be categorized according to three major platforms

Reasons to Purchase

*Understand how consumer attitudes are likely to affect future purchase decisions

*Access unique survey insight to understand why, and to what extent, consumers are attracted to different sweeteners

*Obtain a snapshot of NPD opportunities and threats in this important and dynamic ingredient group

Compound Semiconductor Substrates

bharatbookgroup — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:35:10 +0000

A comprehensive survey of usage and markets through 2013 for: GaAs, GaP, InP, SiC, Sapphire and bulk-GaN

IN 2011, SAPPHIRE WILL EXCEED 50% OF THE CS PROCESSED SURFACE

Silicon largely dominates the semiconductor business as the reference material. However, specific applications such as optoelectronics, RF or power electronics require material properties that cannot be offered by silicon.

GaAs, GaN, GaP, GaAs, InP, SiC and Sapphire substrates now account for 1.1% of the 7,504 million square inches annually processed in semiconductor foundries. However, that small portion of processed area is compensated by a higher merchant price leading to a $880M raw substrate market size in 2009 and reaching the billion dollar threshold in 2010.

Up to now, GaAs was the leading material in volume thanks to the wireless technology and red / orange / yellow LED demand, but sapphire will take the lead from 2011 driven by the booming business in white LED for LCD backlight and general illumination.

These materials have been protected from silicon competition because they allow device performance not reachable by the semiconductor material (Frequency, power, thermal conductivity, robustness, junction temperature, voltage breakdown…). Even though compound materials have market prices dramatically higher than Si, Technical Specs have been, and will remain, the main driver for the adoption of these CS substrates and related technologies. All the considered materials are now available in a 4 inch format except bulk GaN that has just been released in 3 inch in Japan. This diameter expansion helps to lower the manufacturing cost of CS-based devices and to mass market affordable products.

This new report offers a unique panorama of the compound semiconductor substrate business in a single package. It highlights the main metrics and the key market trends that will help material and equipment vendors to position their R&D efforts and anticipate the changes and forecasted evolution of their business.

For each material (GaAs, GaP, GaN, SiC, InP and Sapphire), the report describes:

The main targeted devices and related market size
List and market shares of the main material suppliers (merchant and captive) with product description
List and ranking of the main material users with final products description
Substrate market value and volume ($, units, Msq.in.), split by diameter and electrical specs (Semi-conductive, semi-insulating) in the 2008-2013 time frame
Overview of current developments and new innovations
Projection of the CS materials market in 2013 and beyond.

Public Storage & Warehousing in the US

bharatbookgroup — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:31:31 +0000

Location Location

The mature general warehousing segment is very competitive, with capacity exceeding demand, and based primarily on price, service levels… and of course location! Portraying a medium level of globalization, there are providers who either are foreign owned or have substantial operations overseas. It is in these larger spaces where technology change is medium, highlighted by their use of automation technology and robots. Concentration is low, however, with the majority being of the laborious and non-automated type.
