Pigments Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 10, 2015

The pigments market has a buyer power score of 2.4 out of 5, reflecting a moderate level of negotiation power for buyers and suppliers. Low product specialization and low market share concentration are beneficial for buyers, but high price volatility and rising material costs hamper these positive effects.

Recent pricing trends for pigments have had an adverse effect on buyer power. In the three years to 2014, prices have risen rapidly due to increased demand from clients including cosmetic and beauty products manufacturers, paint manufacturers, ink manufacturers and automobile manufacturers. As the industrial production index and the value of construction have risen, buyers in these sectors have required more pigments, boosting demand and fostering price growth. “This trend is expected to continue in the three years to 2017, further reducing buyers’ ability to negotiate favorable prices and contract terms,” according to IBISWorld business research analyst Jesse Chiang.

Another challenge facing buyers is the high price volatility of pigments. Inputs to pigment production, including nonferrous metal ores, fluctuate greatly. In most cases, pigment suppliers adjust the price of pigments based on the price of key inputs. High price volatility hurts buyers because it can lead to sudden price spikes. “When possible, buyers should try to negotiate set pricing terms to prevent unexpected price increases,” says Chiang.

Although rising price trends and volatility can damage buyer power, low market concentration and low product specialization offset their effects. As a result of low market concentration, pigment suppliers face a high level of competition, giving them an incentive to offer buyers competitive prices. Low product specialization aids buyers because it gives them the ability to procure services from all available suppliers, rather than having to find a niche provider. These factors improve buyers’ ability to negotiate lower prices. Major vendors include Lanxess AG, BASF and Clariant International Ltd.

New Research Supports Morgellons as Infectious Disease

Friday, May 15th, 2015


Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 12, 2015

The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation (CEHMDF), a non-profit advocacy group for those suffering from the medical condition Morgellons Disease (MD), brought in attendees from the around the globe including researchers, medical professionals and patients for the 2015 conference titled “Searching for the Uncommon Thread.” The Scientific event, which took place March 28 & 29, was a formed to discuss new research to help understand the condition.

Morgellons Disease is a multi-system illness uniquely characterized by the formation of unusual colored fibers within the skin. It is a debilitating condition that often includes slow-healing skin lesions, overwhelming fatigue, GI disturbances and an array of neurological deficits. MD affects people of all ages, gender and ethnic groups worldwide. (1)

Each year since 2008, the Holman Foundation has sponsored this medical-scientific conference in Austin, TX to provide research scientists throughout the world a venue to share their work on Morgellons Disease. Patients and medical professionals attending were able to gain knowledge and ask questions during open discussion/Q & A sessions as well as engage researchers. This year, the foundation partnered with Corexcel to offer continuing education credit for physicians, nurses and other medical professionals seeking to learn more about the disease. “Being able to offer continuing medical education credits for medical professionals has been something our foundation has wanted for years. Accreditation of the CEHMDF Morgellons Medical Conference raised the bar to ensure the professionalism that any such medical conference would be expected to deliver,” said Cindy-Casey- Holman, RN, Dir. of the Holman foundation. “As we learn more about Morgellons disease being associated with Borrelia spirochetes (which cause Lyme disease) and not the psychiatric or delusional etiology inaccurately promoted by the CDC, it is a priority that the annual conference be promoted and publicized to the medical communities. There is far too much evidence to overlook and the conference is the ideal format for this learning to begin,” she concluded. (3) (4)

The eagerly anticipated results from just published (Feb 12, 2015) #Morgellons research and much more were discussed during the 2 -day event. Researchers from two esteemed universities, Oklahoma State University-Center for Health Sciences and the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT as well as an international team of independent researchers delivered powerful presentations throughout the weekend. The scientists and medical professionals delivered profound and compelling presentations confirming the presence of the human pathogens Borrelia, Helicobacter and Bartonella in MD patients’ skin samples which were absent in the control samples. These findings contribute to the strong body of evidence supporting Morgellons Disease has an infectious etiology. (2)

Conference speakers included Randy S. Wymore, Ph.D., Director of Research at OSU-CHS-CIMD (Center for the Investigation of Morgellons Disease) and research assistant, Carol Saylor-Hefley; Marianne Middelveen, an Independent Researcher from Calgary, Alberta, Canada; and Eva Sapi, Ph.D. from the University of New Haven.

Dr. Randy Wymore offered some candid, but prophetic comments concerning the media blitz about a possible connection of Morgellons disease to Joni Mitchell’s recent hospitalization: “Unfortunately, some media choose to focus on only the unusual Morgellons symptoms. Facts (research) in peer-reviewed journal papers and soon to be published results from OSU-CHS clearly show a bacterial infection in Morgellons patients.”

Ginger Savely, DNP provided attendees with a historical review of MD and discussion on diagnosis and treatment; Dr Eboni Cornish enlightened those at the conference with in-depth presentations surrounding medical management; Melissa McElroy, NP from San Francisco presented a classification system developed for MD. These knowledgeable medical providers, who are closely involved with the condition, provided a medical framework to help validate and standardize the diagnosis of Morgellons disease. Robert Giguere from GeneX Lab contributed exceptional insights concerning detection of the pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi. The well-respected reference laboratory specializing in state-of-the-art clinical and research testing for Lyme disease and associated tick-borne diseases, is now also focusing on Morgellons disease.

Finally, the psychological toll caused by MD was addressed by Stanford/Case Western Psychiatrist, Dr. Edward Kilbane and retired Georgia Pediatrician Dr. Greg Smith. “It is quite unfortunate Morgellons Disease has been associated with the psychiatric disorder Delusions of Parasitosis. Indeed, they are distinct entities,” said Dr. Smith, CEHMDF Assoc. Dir. “It is sad that, rather than approaching this disorder as something a bit different, it immediately was placed in the delusional spectrum. The serious systemic symptoms were dismissed as well,” concluded Dr. Smith.

About The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation…

The Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation is a 501©3 nonprofit committed to advocacy and philanthropy in the battle against MD. An all-volunteer organization based in Austin, TX, the Holman foundation is the singularly recognized authority on Morgellons disease and stands alone in funding scientific research of this condition. Executive Director Cindy Casey-Holman, RN leads the foundation, named for Charles E. Holman, a pioneer in the fight against MD. Currently, there exist neither grants, nor any other public or private funding sources to support research for this disease. Event proceeds will be used to further this research, education and awareness. All donations are tax deductible. To learn more about Morgellons disease go to MorgellonsDisease.org . The conference was recorded for educational purposes. DVDs will be available soon through the foundation’s website.

Smartphones Procurement Category Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated

Thursday, April 30th, 2015


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 24, 2015

The smartphone market has a buyer power score of 2.6 out of 5, indicating a relatively even split of negotiation power between buyers and suppliers. According to IBISWorld analyst Kevin Young, smartphone prices have risen at an estimated average annual rate of 4.8% in the past three years, largely supported by a rise in smartphone usage among adults aged 20 to 64. Moreover, suppliers have been investing more in research and development (R&D) to produce more technologically advanced smartphones during the period, driving up their costs, which have been passed down to buyers. Buyers have, however, benefited from rising import penetration.

Consumer demand for smartphones has increased considerably in the past three years, as evidenced by the strong growth in the number of mobile connections during the period. Due to the popularity of earlier generations of smartphones, producers have invested heavily in R&D to develop new and improved smartphones, which are often released on an annual basis. The release of new smartphones with more powerful features prompts many consumers to terminate their contracts and upgrade their phones, which is why wireless carriers vie for exclusivity agreements for vendors’ new releases.

The high level of brand equity among many vendors, such as Apple and Samsung, further undermines buyer power by forcing buyers to accept premium, value-based pricing, continues Young. However, the United States is a net importer of smartphones, so the market is also flooded with cheaper imports. Foreign-based manufacturers are actively producing lower-priced smartphone models to siphon a share of the lucrative US smartphone market. Buyers benefit from the wider range of prices made available by import penetration.

Buyers have also benefited from low price volatility during the period. Although smartphones are costly, low volatility in prices indicates that buyers do not face sudden and significant price shifts. Even though vendors release newer and often more expensive versions of smartphones annually, increasing market saturation will stifle extreme price growth in the coming years as consumers become less enthralled with cosmetic updates.

Dentists in Canada Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated

Saturday, April 18th, 2015


New York, NY (PRWEB) March 15, 2015

Over the past five years, the Dentists industry has exhibited growth despite a slight decline in dental expenditures per capita. According to data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, per capita expenditures for dental services marginally declined, which has slightly cut into the industry’s growth. Nevertheless, dental care still accounts for the second-largest share of private-sector medical spending. Among private-sector dental practices, individuals covered almost half of their dental care out-of-pocket. As a result, dental practices had lower administrative costs compared with the healthcare sector as a whole due to having to secure fewer reimbursements from health insurance providers.

Still, according to 2009 data (latest available) from Health Canada’s Canadian Health Measures Survey, about one-third of Canadians did not have dental insurance, which has posed a barrier to dental care for many Canadians. IBISWorld Economic Analyst Sarah Turk says in the updated report “furthermore, some provinces and territories had a very low dentist-to-patient ratio, which limited some Canadians’ access to dental care services.” According to 2013 data (latest available) from the Canadian Dental Association, some provinces, such as Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, had significantly higher population to dentist ratios, compared with the Canadian average. Over the five years to 2015, industry revenue is anticipated to grow. Profit is expected to increase, due to the emergence of more multi-practitioner, group dental practices, which has enabled dentists to generate more in-house referrals, by providing general and specialized dentistry, and lower fixed operational costs.

Over the coming years, the burgeoning elderly population will spur demand for restorative, cosmetic, periodontal and orthodontic care. “For example, as this demographic keeps their natural teeth longer, thanks to the advent of new medical technologies, this trend will provide a boost to the industry,” Turk says in the updated report. In the five years to 2020, industry revenue is forecast to grow.

Lipstick Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Monday, December 1st, 2014


New York, NY (PRWEB) November 19, 2014

Considered at once a discretionary product and an affordable luxury, the Lipstick Manufacturing industry may experience growth in periods of economic distress as well as periods of economic prosperity. According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Sarah Kahn, “Despite volatile consumer sentiment and disposable income during the recession, consumers continued to demand new lipstick, sales of which declined much less in 2009 than cosmetics overall.” With the economic recovery and new fashion trends, consumers have begun to purchase diverse new products. After a lull in demand, in which consumers preferred lip gloss, lipstick came back into fashion in all colors, as well as moisturizing, natural and long-lasting brands. In the five years to 2014, revenue is expected to grow an average annual 7.3% to $ 1.4 billion, growing 5.8% in 2014 alone.

Focus on innovation and new product development will drive growth in the future. In the five years to 2019, revenue is forecast to expand. Profit margins will also rise as companies improve efficiency by automating the manufacturing process. Manufacturers are increasingly expected to develop niche products for a diversified customer base.

An increasingly health-conscious customer base is becoming progressively more aware and sensitive to product ingredients. “Consumers are increasingly concerned with using products that are chemical-based or have traces of metals or animal by-products, pushing companies to invest in research and development to offer new natural and safe products,” says Kahn. Additionally, consumers’ loyalty to individual labels has diminished, despite warnings that they should not mix skin care products from different brands. Manufacturers are expected to become increasingly competitive for these disloyal customers, targeting “cocktailing” consumers that combine different brands and layer different products on top of each other. Finally, as the sociocultural trend Nomcore becomes a fashion movement, consumers, including celebrities such as Beyonce and Kate Middleton, have embraced a bare-faced look, proudly adding hashtag #nomakeup to their selfies. The industry is expected to battle this existential threat in the coming five years.
