Germany - DIY Retailing Industry May 2013 Market Research

ResearchMoz.us include new market research report "DIY Retailing - Germany - May 2013 Market Research  " to its huge collection of research reports.
 
Households faced with the addition of new subsidies on their energy bills provide a market for DIY retailers to tap. Energy-saving products and services, such as home insulation, smart meters and energy-saving advice, can be bundled and marketed by DIY retailers.

This report series covers the 19 leading economies of Europe. In total these countries account for around 95% of all European retail sales, excluding Russia. The focus of the report is the DIY superstores, because these are now the dominant players in the sector. In many markets, core DIY – paint, wallpaper, screws, tools etc. – is now a small part of the DIY sector proposition. Many of the large European DIY retailers are broad-range home-improvement stores with substantial gardening ranges.

Global and China Superhard Material and Product Industry Report, 2012-2015 | Researchmoz.us

ResearchMoz.us include new market research report" Global and China Superhard Material and Product Industry Report, 2012-2015" to its huge collection of research reports.

The superhard material industry chain mainly involves monocrystalline superhard materials, composite superhard materials, and superhard material tools. China is the world's largest producer of monocrystalline superhard materials for the moment, but it still lags behind advanced foreign companies in the downstream composite superhard materials. In recent years, Chinese companies such as SF Diamond and Henan Huanghe Whirlwind have increased their investment in research to by degrees intensify technology.

Buy a copy of this report: http://www.researchmoz.us/sample/checkout.php?rep_id=168624&type=S

In the field of monocrystalline superhard materials, China produced 12.4 billion Ct of synthetic diamond in 2012, contributing about 90% to the global output. Meanwhile, China exported 16.5% of its synthetic diamond. Chinese synthetic diamond market is dominated by Zhongnan Diamond, Henan Huanghe Whirlwind and Zhengzhou Sino-Crystal Diamond. In 2012, the output of the three accounted for 74.9% of China’s diamond output.

The composite superhard material field contains several segments, such as cutter-use composite sheets, oil-use composite sheets, mine-use composite sheets, and wire drawing die blanks.

In 2012, the market of Chinese composite superhard materials valued RMB19 billion, of which mine-use composite sheets and cutter-use composite sheets made up over 90% jointly. Chinese enterprises started early in mine-use composite sheets, so most of them are capable of producing medium and low-end mine-use composite sheets with strong competitiveness. However, DI, Element Six, Sumitomo, ILJIN and other international players are predominant in cutter-use and oil-use composite sheets. In the past two years, China's SF Diamond and Henan Huanghe Whirlwind realized mass-production of large-sized cutter-use composite sheets, and enjoy competitive edges in the high-end cutter-use composite sheet market.

In 2012, China's total output of superhard material tools (mainly diamond saw blades) reached 4.6 billion pcs. Superhard material tool manufacturers cross over the world, led by Saint Gobain, Tyrolit and other well-known producers. Among Chinese enterprises, Kingdream, Monte-Bianco and Bosun Tools have gained remarkable scale.

This report analyzes the market size and competition pattern of monocrystalline superhard materials, composite superhard materials, superhard material tools and other sectors; and makes in-depth analysis on operation, superhard materials and products of major global and Chinese companies.

Zhongnan Diamond is known as China's largest diamond manufacturer. In 2012, its synthetic diamond capacity reached 5.63 billion ct / year, and its output accounted for 44.6% of China’s total. In recent years, adopting the self-made diamond powder as raw material, Zhongnan Diamond has been developing downstream PDC products vigorously, and achieved the capacity of 90,000 pieces / year by the end of 2012.

In 2013, Jiangnan Red Arrow intends to raise funds publicly to acquire Zhongnan Diamond, and add investment in five projects, including Nanyang Large-particle Industrial Diamond Production Line Project, PCBN and PCD series cutter material industrialization projects, in a bid to improve the diamond downstream industry chain.

As the largest polycrystalline diamond enterprise in China, SF Diamond will focus on the development of cutter-use composite sheets and oil drill-use composite plates. SF Diamond can conduct mass-production of 50.8mm and 58mm cutter-use composite sheets. Meanwhile, it is also the world's third-ranked polycrystalline diamond wire drawing die blank manufacturer, with the high-grade diamond wire drawing die blank capacity of 4,484,300 pcs/year.

The diamond tools produced by Bosun Tools mainly find application in construction, building material processing and decoration, especially show competitive advantages in the field of ceramic processing. Bosun Tools has subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Thailand. In 2011, the company invested RMB239 million in building a production base in Thailand, for producing diamond saw blades; the production base released capacity in July, 2012.

Global and China GaAs Industry Report, 2012-2013 Available At Researchmoz.us

ResearchMoz.us include new market research report"Global and China GaAs Industry Report, 2012-2013 " to its huge collection of research reports.

In 2013H1, the biggest news in GaAs industry lay in QUALCOMM’s introduction of CMOS PA in Feb, corresponding to LTE. That once again initiated the war between CMOS and GaAs. Yet, most people believe that, QUALCOMM did that only to increase competitiveness of its Baseband, not grab market of GaAs vendors.

Buy a copy of this report: http://www.researchmoz.us/sample/checkout.php?rep_id=168802&type=S


CMOS PA showed up before 2000, but has not been available in volume and only used in 2G field presently, mainly due to the difficulty to find balance between costs and performance. Yet, it seems that RF360 of QUALCOMM wants to break through the limitation. QUALCOMM is a large mobile phone Baseband vendor, whose revenue comes mainly from 3G and 4G telecommunication patent and Baseband, and is expected to get USD24.5 billion in 2013. Among that, shipment of Baseband is anticipated to reach 700 million units, valuing about USD13.5 billion.

Gross margin of mobile phone PA is less than half of that of QUALCOMM’s Baseband, and running very high market risk. PA is the second important part of mobile phone, which not only decides the voice quality but also determines the stand-by time and talking time. The enterprise seldom changes PA suppliers, once they were selected.

RF360 of QUALCOMM is mainly to deal with MTK and Spreadtrum, and aiming at knock-off digital product Whitebox vendors. Vendors of Whitebox adopt the platform of MTK or Spreadtrum instead of QUALCOMM, for the simpler design and higher level of integration of overall solution of the former two. As for QUALCOMM, it is expert in Baseband design, not integrated solution. So QUALCOMM can’t enter the knock-off digital product market, which contains more than 100 million sets. So as to set foot in the field, QUALCOMM introduces the RF360 on purpose, and this chip lowers the mobile phone design difficulty to a large extent. Bundle sales of RF360 and Baseband of QUALCOMM will equip Whitebox vendors with ability to design mobile phone independently.

On the other side, as the No.1 mobile phone vendor, SAMSUNG contributes about USD5 billion to QUALCOMM each year, though unwillingly, since the market of Basebands for smartphone (except Chinese knock-off digital product Whitebox) is monopolized by QUALCOMM. So, SAMSUNG is developing Baseband presently, and some have already been used for the Galaxy S3. However, QUALCOMM introduced RF360 to raise the industry threshold and stop SAMSUNG from developing its own Baseband. SAMSUNG is very weak in RF field, even weaker than Chinese vendors.

Lots of start-ups are dedicated to replacing GaAs PA with CMOS PA, among which, AXIOM has already realized a shipment of over 10 million sets for 2G mobile phones. In addition, Javelin announced to mass-produce 3G PA with CMOS technique this June.

Unlike the start-ups, RFMD, Anadigics, Infineon and other existing suppliers showed skepticism about CMOS PA, believing that it is hard for CMOS PA to strike balance between costs and performance. Even Skyworks, who acquired AXIOM, thinks that application of CMOS PA in high-end market like 3G and 4G is very limited.

Presently, CMOS PAS still has difficulties to achieve balance between costs and performance. It is inferior to GaAs in amplifier performance, further doesn’t have absolute advantage of costs. However, many large GaAs vendors acquired CMOS PA companies one after another to make technical reserves. On Apr. 30, 2013, Avago Technologies finished the acquisition of Javelin Semiconductor, without revealing the price. RF Micro Devices took over CMOS PA start-up Amalfi. In 2009, Skyworks acquired Axiom Microdevices. Several weeks ago, Peregrine Semiconductor declared to cooperate with Murata in developing CMOS silicon-on-sapphire PAs for potential applications of front-end mobile phone modules

Global and China Elevator Industry Report, 2013 Available on Researchmoz.us

ResearchMoz.us include new market research report" Global and China Elevator Industry Report, 2013" to its huge collection of research reports.
Against the sluggish European elevator market and the slowly recovered American elevator market, China achieved the elevator output of 529,000 in 2012, up 17.56% year on year; though the growth slowed down, China still ranked first in output around the globe.

Buy a copy of this report: http://www.researchmoz.us/sample/checkout.php?rep_id=168801&type=S
In 2012, Chinese elevator industry characterized the followings:

Multinational elevator companies have accelerated their expansion in China. Unlike the weak economic growth in Europe and America, the Asian elevator market, especially Chinese elevator market, has maintained moderate growth, so multinational elevator brands have been speeding up their expansion in China.
The service market has become a target for elevator enterprises. In the wake of the growth slowdown of elevator output and sales volume as well as the increasing elevator number, the elevator aftermarket presents a promising outlook. The service only contributes 3%-15% to the revenue of Chinese elevator manufacturers, while up to 40-55% to multinational corporations.
Indemnificatory housing will be a future growth engine. China’s construction plan of 36 million indemnificatory apartments largely offsets the negative impact incurred by the declining investment growth in commercial real estate. In 2012, China finished 6.01 million indemnificatory apartments and started building 7.81 million ones, overachieving the tasks stipulated in early 2012.
