Global Demand for Electronic Connectors to Reach $60 Billion by 2012, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

August 31st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in News


San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2008

Backed by strong demand from growing economies worldwide (Asia driven by China and India), Eastern Europe and Latin America, the market for electronic connectors is poised to experience significant growth through the next five-year period. As technological innovations surface with each passing day, the number of connectors used per device is on a decline while functionality continues to rise. The market maintained its growth momentum despite rising commodity prices, high energy costs and weak growth in developed economies. Over the last 15 years, the industry attained a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 7, with two industry growth declines in 2001 and 2002. Production continued to shift to low-cost regions from high-cost locations such as North America and Europe.

The world electronic connector market is projected to reach close to billion by 2012, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Asia-Pacific (inclusive of China) is expected to register the highest growth and emerge as the largest market, outpacing Europe and the US. The Asian market (Excluding China) is forecast to reach about US.4 billion in 2010. The Chinese market is set to experience strong growth of over 20% through 2015. In terms of end use, automobile is expected to be the largest consumer of electronic connectors with a share of 25%. Growing at a CAGR of 8.22%, the computer sector is expected to surpass automobiles as the largest end use sector by 2011. Consumer electronics is by far the fastest growing end-use segment with a CAGR exceeding 10% through 2015. Medical Connectors is another significant segment poised to exhibit robust growth.

The electronic connector market is still by and large fragmented, thus providing an attractive hunting ground for acquisitions and mergers. Most notable transactions in the past three-year period include Bain Capital’s acquisition of Molex and Amphenol’s acquisition of Teradyne Connection Systems in 2005. Molex’s acquisition of Woodhead was the highlight event in 2006. The year 2007 & 2008 saw big companies such as Methode and Molex taking the acquisition strategy to further consolidate their position. Key market participants include 3M, ABB Entrelec, Amphenol, Anderson Power Products, AVX Corporation, Cinch Connectors, DDK Ltd., Delphi Connection Systems, ERNI, FCI, Foxconn, HARTING KgaA, Hirose Electric, Honda Connectors, Hosiden Corporation, HUBER+SUHNER, IPEX Co., ITT Industries, JST Mfg Co., Lear Corporation, LEMO SA, Leoco Corporation, Lumberg Group, Methode Electronics, Molex, Preci-Dip Durtal, Radiall Group, Smiths Interconnect, Souriau SAS, Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Switch Craft Holdings, Telegartner, Tyco Electronics, Wago Innovation Connections, Weidmuller Interface, and Yamaichi Electronics USA.

Market for Dairy Processing Equipment to Reach $7.2 Billion by 2012, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

August 31st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in News


San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 4, 2008

Growth in dairy processing equipment market is driven by the surge in the dairy market. However, growth is determined by the market’s ability to design convenient, innovative, fast, highly technical, and completely automated dairy processing equipment, as per customer requirements. Launch of innovative dairy products such as vitamin-enriched, organic and convenience/snack foods has generated significant demand for high standard dairy machinery in recent years. Growing demand for dairy products, enhanced emphasis on healthy eating habits, rising significance of low-fat dairy products, and declining prices contribute significantly to market growth.

Large equipment producers are either merging with or acquiring small firms to remain competitive in the midst of declining revenues. Consolidation is another strategy that is followed by many of the large firms not only to increase their market share but also to reduce competition from small firms. Furthermore, through consolidation, several large firms are foraying into new markets and intensifying their product diversity. However, this trend is posing a threat to the very existence of small companies, as they are unable to withstand the financial strength of the large firms and corporations.

Asia is the largest dairy processing equipment market worldwide. The Asian market (including Japan) is estimated at US .5 billion in 2008 as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Europe is the second largest regional market followed by United States at third position. Collectively, the US, Europe and Asia account for about 76 percent of the global dairy processing equipment market. Among product segments, the market for complete flow lines is estimated at US .2 billion in 2008. The reverse osmosis, ultra filtration, micro filtration equipment market is expected to reach US 6 million by 2010.

These and other market data and trends are presented in “Dairy Processing Equipment: A Global Strategic Business Report” published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. This GIA report discusses the prevailing trends, issues, demand forecasts & drivers, and activities that affect the industry. The dairy processing equipment market is analyzed in $ Million by the following geographic regions – United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan), Latin America, and Rest of World; product segments – Complete Flow Lines (CFL), Pasteurizers and Homogenizers (PH), Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Filtration, Micro Filtration Equipment (RO, UF, MF), Rising Film Evaporators and Dehydrators (RFED), Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE), and Crystallizers and Churning Equipment. Analytics for the period 2000-2015 provide a comprehensive understanding of the market.

Ltd., DCI, Inc., Feldmeier Equipment, Inc., Haas-Mondomix BV, Ivarson, Inc., Marlen Research Corporation, Packaging Technologies, Robert Reiser & Co., Inc., SSP Pvt.

August 30th, 2010 by Bank Loan | 1 Comment | Filed in News

Question by biff websster: Is all Sake Supposed to be clear or can they be another color?
I bought a ceramic bottle of sake at an asian market that was very well sealed and in a box in room temperature conditions. It was sealed with a cork. When i opened the bottle the sake poured a brown color. It also smelled exactly like soy sauce. Is this good? Or did it go bad?
it is a bottle of Pagoda Nu Er Hong Rice Wine…Pagoda Brand. Its in a spherical bottle. It is chinese

Best answer:

Answer by MasterPython
I think you bought rice wine for cooking. It might actually have soy sauce in it so the salt will act as a preservative.

I have never heard of Sake being anything but clear to pale yellow.

The reception American Pacific Rim Commerce Group and the mymyJ.com platform have received in China and the U.S. has been overwhelming. The timing of our merger and entry into the public markets coupled with the awareness the 2008 Olympic Games has brought to the world in reference to the growing market of middle-class Chinese consumers’ highlights the opportunity that exists for U.S. Small and Medium sized companies to sell their goods and services in the fastest growing consumer market in the world.
