Global Engineering Services Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2012

The global market for engineering services consists of the work performed by consultant engineering firms along with the in-house services undertaken by construction contractors, manufacturers, government agencies and utility owners. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Anthony Kelly, the industry’s performance is principally driven by the trends into construction, manufacturing and mining developments (particularly in the large industrial economies) and increasingly from work in the fields of technological development and the sustainable environment. Over the past decade the industry has expanded its operations by broadening across a wider range of multidisciplinary services, by the trend towards globalization and through the outsourcing of services by public authorities and major corporations.

The Global Engineering Services industry is one of the largest professional service industries, generating revenue of about $ 530 billion in 2012 (up 3.0% on the previous year), and employing 2.9 million people. Industry value added currently totals $ 318 billion, or 0.6% of the world’s GDP, two-thirds of which represents payments to employees and the balance the industry’s operating profit. The industry’s performance deteriorated during the late 2000s with the onset of recession in several of the largest developed economies and the subsequent decline in construction and industrial production. Despite the current improvement, industry revenue is estimated to average subdued growth by 0.5% per annum over the five years through 2012.

?International trade represents a significant share of industry activity (10.6% of revenue in 2012) and is mainly confined to relatively few large-scale consulting engineering firms that are capable of operating outside national boundaries,? said Kelly. A feature of the industry that has accompanied globalization has been the amalgamation of the larger players to achieve scale economies, broaden the market and strengthen the human and financial resources (consistent with the trend evident in other knowledge-based industries such as accounting, law, advertising and architecture).

The Global Engineering Services industry has a low concentration of ownership, with the four largest companies accounting for about 6.0% of annual industry revenue. The largest players in the global market for engineering services include URS Corporation, SNC-Lavalin Group, Bechtel Group, Jacobs Engineering Group, Fluor Corporation, AECOM Technology Corporation, CH2M HILL Companies, WS Atkins plc, and Altran Technologies. Despite this low concentration, there has been a trend over the past decade for the consolidation of the operations of many of the world’s leading consulting engineering firms, through mergers or strategic alliances. These large-scale, multidisciplined, multinational companies are well placed to win contracts in most markets.

Global Neurodegenerative Drugs Market to Exceed $43.4 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2010

Neurodegenerative diseases, caused due to neuron deficiency or dysfunction of the spinal cord or brain cells, are destructive in nature, as regeneration of affected cells is not possible and results in ultimate damage or death. Major neurodegenerative diseases with significant unmet medical needs include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Huntington’s disease. There are only a few treatment available for some of these diseases, and several of these treatment options provide only symptomatic relief. For a few others such as the Huntington’s disease, there is still not a single therapy available that can treat the disease.

The United States dominates the world neurodegenerative drugs market as stated by the new market research report on Neurodegenerative Drugs market. The market exhibits huge potential considering the high rates of prevalence of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The market is largely untapped due to under-diagnosis owing to lack of proper diagnostics, and lack of therapies that can effectively and safely prevent or treat the diseases.

Multiple Sclerosis represents the largest segment of the neurodegenerative drugs market. The multiple sclerosis drugs market is all set for a major transformation with new drugs in pipeline awaiting approval in near future. Most pipeline drugs are showing promising results in terms of reducing disease progression and other end-points compared to existing drugs. The most promising multiple sclerosis candidates include oral therapies such as Sanofi-aventis’ Teriflunomide, Active Biotech’s Laquinimod, Merck’s Cladribine and Novartis’ FTY720.

Alzheimer’s is the fastest growing segment of the neurodegenerative drugs market. The currently available drugs for Alzheimer’s disease not only provide limited efficacy, but may also result in serious adverse effects. There are issues with acceptability and safety, and some patients may even fail to respond to treatment with available drugs. The outlook appears interesting considering that a few leading products are lined up for patent expiry, including Namenda and Exelon, while there are others in pipeline that promise to deliver on the failure of available therapies.

Key players profiled in the report include Amarin Corporation Plc; AstraZeneca Plc; Avanir Pharmaceuticals Inc.; Avigen Inc.; Bayer Schering Pharma AG; Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH; Biogen Idec Inc.; Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.; Biovail Corporation; Ceregene, Inc.; Eisai, Inc.; Elan Pharmaceuticals; Eli Lilly and Company; Forest Laboratories, Inc.; GlaxoSmithKline plc; H. Lundbeck A/S; Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH; Merck Serono; Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation; Neurologix, Inc.; NeuroSearch A/S; Novartis AG; Pfizer Inc.; Sanofi-aventis S.A.; Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc; Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited; Valeant Pharmaceuticals International; and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The report titled “Neurodegenerative Drugs: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, market drivers, market inhibitors, competitive scenario, clinical trials, product introductions/approvals, and recent industry activity. The study analyzes market data and analytics in terms of value sales for regions including The United States, Europe and Rest of World. The study analyzes market data and analytics in terms of value sales for neurodegenerative drugs by disease type, including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Other Diseases.

Sex Toy Dave Uses Comedy to Help Himself and Others in the Sex Toy Industry Market to the Mainstream

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 07, 2012

Companies are constantly looking for new ways to introduce their products to wider audiences, and cutting edge marketing techniques are the key to any successful ad strategy. Groupon grew to a billion dollar company in a year with a unique new marketing method. For Adult Products company, the Holy Grail of marketing is being able to seamlessly get their company in front of a mainstream audience. Internet entrepreneur ?Sex Toy Dave,? who is owner of online sex toys sales site http://www.SexToy.com seems to have found that opening and has pioneered the way for others in his business through the use of live comedy shows.

Sex Toy Dave has had many creative marketing ideas. He created the first affiliate program for adult product in 1996, which made his reputation. Recently, he sent the “first vibrator into space.” But he is most famous for appearing in three seasons of Bravo’s hit reality TV show, Millionaire Matchmaker. However, over the past 2 years Dave has been honing his comedy chops on stage in front of live audiences. He started out doing ?open mics? around town and now is hosting comedy shows as well as sharing the stage with some of comedy?s top headliners. He performs in the main room at Hollywood?s Comedy Store, and in his act he shows and makes jokes about adult toys like the Alien Blow up doll and the Obama Dildo.

?Between throwing Hollywood parties, selling sex toys and just getting married with a stripper pole still in the living room, I have a lot of content!? he said about his foray into the comedy world. At the end of his performance he gives away free vibrators and makes jokes about the people who want the toys. Dave’s recent performances include him hosting at The Parlor in Hollywood where Daniel Tosh and Dave Chappelle both performed for Dave’s show. Dave also has a regular running appearance in the main room at the Comedy Store on Sunset. His next performance will be back at the Parlor on March 12, 2012 at 9pm.

On top of performing, Dave has helped other companies in his industry use comedy as a marketing tool. Take for instance the largest manufacturer of sex toys in Europe and a major player here in the states, Fun Factory. In October 2011, through the help of Sex Toy Dave, Fun Factory began sponsoring Sam Tripoli?s ?Naughty Show,? an act that has been hosted at various Hollywood clubs including Voyeur, The Comedy Store and The Viper room. Tripoli had always been notorious for having a raunchy act, and Fun Factory capitalized on this by integrating their brand and products into the show. Tripoli’s show is now a mix of stand-up comedy, skits and interviews with porn stars.

Dave also sponsored former Skid Row drummer Phil Varone?s sex and comedy show. Because of his on stage comedy performances, Varone is the first rock star to come out with a dildo molded from his likeness, and it comes complete with piercing on the tip. He has developed a full line of toys including vibrators shaped like drum sticks and sex toy accessories, and all products are emblazoned with the tag line ?Sex Toys & Rock n Roll.? To promote his sex toys and his celebrity image, Phil runs a comedy show that was initially sponsored by Sex Toy Dave called “Sex, Stand-Up, and Rock and Roll.” The show consists of a live band that plays a few songs and features performances from top stand-up comedians. Phil hosts and has a raffle to get an audience member to come on stage and accept a gift basket full of quality sex toys.

Throughout history, comedy has been used to speak about important subjects in an acceptable way. It seems sex is finding its voice through comedy. Marketing sex toys in a mainstream comedy space seems be a forward thinking and strategic move by Dave. ?I’ve always believed the key to marketing sex toys is to get my personality out to the mainstream. I did that with dating shows and being single. Now that I’m married, I’ve turned to comedy. I perform and now sponsor people. Some day I hope to get back onto Bravo, but this time as a comedian,? says Dave.

Leading Korean Brand AK Biotech Introduces the Highest Concentration of Omega-3 to the US Market: Innovative Product can be customized to meet specific business needs


New York (Vocus) June 7, 2010

AK Biotech, a leading world supplier of the Omega-3 wonder supplement, is now providing customers in the U.S. with highly concentrated levels of EPA and DHA available in customized ratios of powder, oil and triglyceride. The innovative product line delivers superior Omega-3 benefits and is receiving rave reviews since debuting to more than 3,000 global food and beverage, cosmetic and personal care, and dietary supplement executives from nearly 30 countries at the Supply Side Trade Show in April 2010.

?AK Biotech truly cares about the quality of their product and understands the heightened demand for Omega-3 in its purest form,? says Omega 3 buyer. ?Their ability to deliver such high concentrations of EPA and DHA in customized form will completely satisfy the specific demands of our diverse customer base.?

Omega-3s are increasingly praised for a myriad health benefits. They are credited with helping treat or prevent degenerative illnesses such as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. They also play a key role in brain development and cognitive function and have an effect on skin disorders, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, bipolar disorder and osteoporosis.

?The more we learn about omega-3, the more amazing it seems,? says Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, Co-Founder of Women to Women Clinic. ?Because of their anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3?s have been linked with prevention and treatment of a whole host of health problems?It?s no surprise that omega-3 fatty acids are quickly becoming one of the most researched topics in the scientific community ? and one of the most celebrated among people who care about whole health.?

According to David Valentine, associate professor of earth science at UCSB, Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that the body cannot make by itself. They are obtained largely from fish and other marine life, such as algae and krill. The two omega-3s that provide the clearest health benefits are the ?fish oils” eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the omega-3s that AK Biotech has focused on in their new product, which combines high concentrations of EPA (not less that 70%) and DHA (not less than 80%) to deliver the purest form of Omega-3 to the market.

AK Biotech?s value lies in the pursuit of a thorough and complete quality management system, of which R&D is an integral part. With the construction of a corporate research institute and a state-of-the-art factory with a GMP and HACCP system in Ulsan, the company is positioned to meet any requirement from customers and partners worldwide.

?We are confident in our ability to be a reliable partner to Omega-3 buyers worldwide,? said company spokesperson Mr. Lee. ?Our factory is set up to deliver product of the highest quality, free of contaminants such as PCBs, Dioxin, and heavy metals and without unessential saturated fatty acid. We recognize the value of quality over quantity and not only deliver the highest concentration of Omega-3 but concentrate heavily on R&D. We strive to increase corporate profits through improvements of processes.?

Advance quality control procedures ensure excellence and reliability through continued research, repair and upkeep, including the validation of all equipment and methods used in the laboratory to ensure that they give expected results. Technicians continually work to improve TG synthesis and develop technologies such as oil powderization and low-cost, efficient deodorization. The company maintains all industry certifications (GMP FDA, ISO14001 & 9001, HAACP, HALAL) and has proven capabilities for delivering Omega-3 in every formulation (EPA, DHA, Bulk Oil, Bulk Capsule).

AK Biotech guarantees social responsibility by adhering to clean environmental practices and offering competitive prices without sacrificing quality or customer support. The company only uses ingredients from ecologically clean environments, such as Peru and Thailand, to guarantee the purest form of Omega-3 in their product. Fish oil and other raw materials are only purchased from pre-approved vendors from environmentally clean zones. Technicians investigate raw material suppliers by rigorous standard and certificates of analysis are issued for all products, once quality and compliance are confirmed.

Although AK Biotech is 100% dedicated to providing the purest, highest concentration of Omega-3, it is keenly aware of the multitude of uses for Omega-3 and the need for buyers to meet the demands of various people. According to Nurhan Dunford, FAPC Oil/Oilseed Chemist with the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, large brands such as Nestle and Kellog Company are marketing Omega-3 enriched formulas of mayonnaise, nutrition bars, cream cheese, yogurt, bread, eggs and many other commercial products. Deb Borgan of Sea-Based Health LLC estimates that retail sales of foods and beverages enriched with Omega 3?s will reach more than $ 7 billion by 2011.

?As consumers continue to demand more nutritious products, food manufacturers are seeking many more opportunities to include omega-3 in their formulations,? said Dunford. ?A main reason for omega-3 supplementation in adults is due to an imbalance?It is believed human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids of about 1. Today the same ratio is in the range of 15/1 to 17/1 in the Western diet.?

The FDA recommends 3g of EPA and DHA per day. AK Biotech is committed to providing customized solutions that allow buyers to deliver the recommended dosage in the formula that best fits their customers? lifestyle.

?Omega-3?s contribute to every inch of our bodies,? said Pick. ?From our hearts to our minds and every cell in-between, I promise omega-3?s are the healthiest fats you can consume! And no matter how busy you are, there are easy ways to include them in your diet.?

Peptides are also one of the leading, most coveted, cosmetic ingredients in the anti-aging skincare markets, proven to stimulate collagen production and prevent its breakdown to keep skin firm and smooth.

AnyGen provides various modifications for custom-made peptides and specializes in difficult and long sequences for peptide synthesis. It uses the highest quality ingredients, from pharmaceutical giants Merck and Bachem, to assure customer satisfaction. In January 2011 AnyGen will become the first Korean peptide manufacturer to obtain GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) status for its mass production facility.

AnyGen is dedicated to the progress of Biotechnology through consistent research and development. The company obtained two ISO (International Organization of Standardization) certifications (ISO 2001, ISO 14001), and the company was awarded the ?INNO-BIZ? award by the Korean government for its innovative products. In 2006, AnyGen successfully completed mass production for pre-clinical and cosmetics peptide.
