Pet Care in Slovakia

Moderate growth of pet food
Pet Care in Slovakia - The overall pet care market grew moderately in 2011 in current value terms compared with the previous year. The number of dog and cat owners feeding their pets prepared food is increasing. With busy lifestyles pet owners want to feed their pets properly and quickly to spare time to care for their pet’s physical and psychological well-being. The range of pet food and pet care products on offer is becoming wider and more sophisticated. However, unlike in developed European countries, the percentage share of prepared food relative to the cat and dog population is low. Consequently, the potential for volume and value growth is promising.

Cats less common than dogs but becoming more popular
Dog food accounted for the majority of value sales in 2011. The number of dogs in Slovakia is almost four times larger than the number of cats. Cats are popular with retired single people (mostly women) and 2-person households without children. Those in the latter group have busy lifestyles and tend to work late, and consequently do not have time to walk a dog regularly.

Multinationals dominate but domestic brands gain attention
Dog and cat food remained relatively consolidated in 2011, with the top four producers accounting for just over half of total value sales. The leading multinationals – Mars SK and Nestlé Slovensko sro – enjoyed a significant share of sales thanks to early entry, wide product portfolios and strong advertising. Successful domestic companies include Ani-pet spol sro and Akvarium Kobolka sro. The leading brands lost some share to private label products in 2011.

Multiples lead but pet shops remain popular
Pet shops represented the leading distribution channel for dog and cat food in 2011. In other pet food and pet care products, pet shops remained the most important distribution outlets as well. Pet shops are still very popular with pet owners as they employ staff that can give advice and make recommendations. Pet superstores in shopping centres (Pet Center is one of the leading chains) are becoming popular thanks to their special price offers and discounts. Second position is held by supermarkets/hypermarkets with 34% market share.

Growth expected over forecast period
The Slovakia pet care market is expected to continue to grow moderately over the forecast period. The number of pet owners will continue to rise steadily, as will demand for high quality products. In particular, pet owners living in urban areas will become more interested in premium and super-premium products. Growth over the forecast period will continue to be driven by dog and cat food.

Types of stem cells
Pipeline snapshotAlthough bone marrow stem cell transplant has been routinely used for over 4 decades to treat hematological malignancies, the potential of stem cells to regenerate or replace highly specialized damaged or lost tissues in serious degenerative disorders or debilitating diseases, such as myocardial infarction, spinal cord injuries, ischemic stroke, macular degeneration, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis, has yet to be realized. Key limitations that still need to be addressed include successful delivery, differentiation, engraftment, integration, vascularization, functionality, and long-term safety of the transplanted cells. In view of this, several companies are currently exploiting more easily achievable goals, using a more drug-like approach that utilizes stem cells to alter physiological conditions within the damaged tissue and that indirectly promotes repair and regulates inflammatory and immunomodulatory pathways.

The Affluent Consumer Market in the U.S., 6th Edition

This completely new edition of Packaged Facts The Affluent Consumer Market in the U.S., 6th Edition finds an affluent consumer population that is considerably more upbeat than in 2009 when the last edition of the report was published. Experian Simmons National Consumer Study data show that affluent consumer confidence was on the rise in 2011. Compared to 2009, the proportion of affluent consumers reporting that they were financially better off than 12 months before had doubled. Spending among the affluent was up, and a wide range of consumer research organizations foresaw even more robust spending by affluent consumers in the coming year.

Packaged Facts The Affluent Consumer Market in the U.S. provides marketers with crucial insights into the mindset and behavior of affluent consumers. Affluent consumers remain the driving force of the American economy and play an outsized role in creating opportunities for marketers. The average income of households with an income of $150,000 or more remains 10 times higher than that of non-affluent households. Those in this income bracket make up only 7% of all consumer units but account for 17% of all consumer expenditures.

E-Waste Recycling and Reuse Services Worldwide

Published: December 2011
No. of Pages: 216
Price: $ 4950

E-waste (electronic and electrical waste) recycling and reuse (R&R) services include a wide plethora of business types, such as collectors, de-manufacturers, material processors, asset managers, recyclers and refurbishers. Companies involved in the e-waste R&R industry purchase, refurbish, recycle and sell used (working or non-working), obsolete or surplus electronic and electrical (E&E) items - including everything from computers and cell phones to refrigerators and microwaves, as well as E&E components and parts - including CRT tubes, plastics and precious metals).

The e-waste R&R services industry is complex and sometimes could even be referred to as elusive. A simple route for an electronic item on its way to be recycled may entail collection from a garbage collector, triage by a dismantling company and then final processing by an end processor, such as a smelter or refiner. More complex routes may be more difficult to track and E&E items may find themselves undocumented in storage somewhere, overseas illegally or even in landfills. It is not uncommon for an e-waste collector, or even dismantler, to have little or no knowledge regarding the destination of its products. This situation is changing, however, as the regulatory framework for e-waste R&R services becomes more established - at least in some regions -and as the market continues to evolve and grow.

In 2010 the e-waste R&R services market value totaled close to $6.8 billion, up from $6.2 billion in 2009. Industry growth is expected to continue on its uphill path at least through the next decade, with collection services alone more than tripling by 2020. In 2010, China and India (out of the top ten country pool) are estimated to retain the largest market shares, in terms of value, with approximate shares of 23.7% and 21.6% respectively.

Growth in the e-waste R&R services industry is being spurred by the ever-increasing amounts of e-waste being created around the world, as purchases of electronic products are on the rise - in some regions dramatically, and as old E&E items become obsolete at an accelerated rate. Another driving factor in e-waste market growth is the growing recognition of valuable substances, such as lead, copper and gold, found in some e-waste components. These resources may be reclaimed at a profit and subsequently reused, which makes a lot more sense than simply throwing them away.

Instances of corruption and "backyard recycling" may be somewhat exaggerated by the media, with both good and bad consequences. Pictures depicting hazardous working conditions, such as those of African children breathing fumes from burning copper wire, have helped to incite an increase in e-waste regulations and enforcement and have spurred the persistence of environmental watchdogs, such as the Basel Action Network and Greenpeace. Due to the persistence of groups such as these, the e-waste R&R services market is being upheld to a higher standard, although this increased scrutiny has also hindered growth for many involved in the industry.

E-Waste Recycling and Reuse Services Worldwide contains comprehensive historical data (2006-2010) and forecast data (2011-2020). This report identifies key trends and factors (such as the regulatory scene, new technologies, employment opportunities and economic drivers and challenges), which affect the size and direction of e-waste R&R market growth around the world. Profiles of more than a dozen major - or simply interesting - companies involved in the e-waste recycling and reuse industry are also included.

Lawn and Garden Products & Services in the U.S., 9th Edition

This new edition continues Packaged Facts' tradition of comprehensive coverage of the U.S. lawn & garden market, valued at over $25 billion at retail in 2011. Closely linked to housing and employment trends, the market has suffered from the recession and its lingering drag on the economy, as well as other dampening factors including high energy prices and climate concerns. Some of those challenges also represent opportunities, however. For example, "green" gardening threatens traditional L&G (gas-powered machinery, synthetic chemicals), but also offers a way forward into a more sustainable future as a new generation of gardeners embrace trends including organic gardening and food gardening. The all-important aging Boomer segment also holds promise, including in professional lawn care services.

Building on the continuity and coverage of previous editions, this fully updated report examines the U.S. market for lawn and garden products and services, including all products and services sold for maintenance, treatment, and enhancement of lawns, gardens, and landscapes. Focusing primarily on the consumer sector, the report Lawn and Garden Products & Services in the U.S., 9th Edition divides the market into three categories: Equipment (power and hand-held), Supplies (insecticides and fertilizer), and Services. Following an overview chapter detailing the market as a whole and providing cross-category perspective, the study offers separate in-depth chapter analyses of each category, including market size, composition, and projections; competitive trends; retail trends; and consumer trends.

An important new feature is consumer data from Packaged Facts' proprietary online survey conducted in September 2011, supplemented by cross-tabulated consumer survey results from Experian Simmons. Coverage includes trended levels of participation in home gardening and trended ownership and purchasing rates for three categories: power equipment, hand held tools, and supplies. Each of these categories is broken down by product type, with proprietary survey data indicating level of spending and outlet for purchasing. The report also presents demographic profiles and highlights of the U.S. gardener and of participants in each of the product categories, and quantifies consumer usage rates and spending trends for professional lawn care services.

World Windows & Doors Market to 2015

World demand to rise 7% annually through 2015
World Windows & Doors Market to 2015 - Global demand for windows and doors is forecast to rise seven percent per year through 2015 to $200 billion, significantly exceeding the pace of growth registered between 2005 and 2010. However, advances will be exaggerated by an extremely weak 2010 base in the developed world, particularly in the US.

China to remain largest window and door market
China, the world’s largest national window and door market, will expand its share of global demand from 27 percent in 2010 to 29 percent in 2015. Continuing rapid economic growth and industrialization, as well as an increase in the average size of a housing unit in the country, will bolster gains. Although demand for windows and doors in China will expand robustly through 2015, it will represent a major slowdown in comparison to the performance of the past decade.

US market to post strong recovery
The US market for windows and doors will post a strong recovery and expand nine percent per year through 2015, after declining 25 percent between 2008 and 2010, when the country experienced a major economic recession that was spurred by the housing sector. Demand in Japan and Western Europe will also post solid recoveries after recent declines, although neither experienced problems as significant as the US did in 2009 and 2010.

Plastic windows and doors to be fastest growing types
Plastic windows and doors are projected to be the fastest growing products through 2015, although plastic doors will still account for less than ten percent of global door demand. Plastic windows will garner a larger share, more than 35 percent of global window demand in 2015.

Gains will be spurred by rising sales of fiberglass entry doors, which will capture market share from wood and steel. Fiberglass doors are less expensive, more aesthetically pleasing and more energyefficient than steel doors. While wood doors were traditionally seen to be more attractive than fiberglass doors, improvements in processing techniques have enabled manufacturers to make fiberglass that more closely resembles wood. Further gains for plastic windows and doors will be supported by continuing demand for vinyl windows because of their low cost, durability, minimal maintenance requirements and superior energy efficiency.

Energy-efficient windows and doors to outpace overall market
Through 2015, demand for energyefficient windows and doors will rise faster than the overall market because of increasing consumer awareness and government support in the form of tax credits. Sales of blast-resistant doors will also see above-average gains, especially in the nonresidential market in developed countries due to persisting security concerns.

Paint & Coatings Market to 2015

US demand to exceed $25 billion in 2015
Paint & Coatings Market to 2015 - US demand for paint and coatings is forecast to exceed $25 billion in 2015. The market is expected to expand strongly in both volume and value terms, rebounding from the declines of the recessionimpacted 2005-2010 period. During this time, construction spending and manufactured goods output both fell, reducing coatings demand in the key architectural and manufacturing markets. Through 2015, growth will be fueled by renewed strength in manufacturing and construction activity as the US economy continues its economic recovery. Increasing domestic demand will boost production levels, as will favorable export opportunities, particularly in Asia and Mexico.

Architectural market to provide best opportunities
The architectural market will continue to account for the largest share of paint and coatings demand in the US. Advances will outpace those of the other major segments through 2015, promoted by renewed strength in the housing market. In particular, home building activity will rebound from the low 2010 level, boosting paint and coating sales. Going forward, the interior component of the architectural paint market will remain considerably larger than the exterior segment, and growth in demand for interior paint will outpace that for exterior paint. The outlook for exterior coatings will continue to be affected by the introduction of more efficient products, which can cover more square footage per gallon, as well as the growing popularity of siding materials, such as vinyl, which do not require painting. On the bright side, however, demand for exterior paint will be promoted by the rising use of one alternative siding material -- fiber cement -- in the US housing industry. Unlike vinyl, fiber cement siding can be painted. To the extent that fiber cement displaces vinyl siding, this trend will provide opportunities for exterior paint demand.

Sales of paint and coatings in manufacturing markets will expand at a respectable rate through 2015, reversing the downward trend of the 2000-2010 period. Among the various market segments, the furniture and fixture sector will have the best opportunities for growth, and will remain the leading outlet for coatings over the forecast period. However, the motor vehicle sector will post more rapid gains, regaining its position as the second largest outlet for coatings among manufacturing markets. Although demand will benefit from strong growth in motor vehicle output, this will be offset to some extent by a move toward smaller, more fuel-efficient automobiles at the expense of larger light vehicles such as sport utility vehicles. This will limit coatings volume growth given that smaller vehicles generally require less paint on a per vehicle basis.

Maintenance and specialty coatings will remain the smallest market through 2015. Advances in this segment will trail those of the architectural and manufacturing markets. This is due in part to the fact that demand for maintenance and specialty coatings was more insulated from the difficult economic conditions present during the 2005-2010 period, and will therefore also not be as positively impacted by the improved economic outlook as the other market segments. Key outlets include industrial maintenance, and road and bridge markets. Both are expected to advance at above-average rates through 2015, promoted by greater nonresidential improvement and repair activity, and greater spending directed toward the maintenance of the nation's aging infrastructure.
