Worldwide Solar Concentrated Photovoltaic Market 2014-2018

View a Presentation on Global Solar Concentrated Photovoltaic Market 2014-2018

 A solar CPV system concentrates sunlight on solar cells with the help of an optical device, increasing the efficiency of photovoltaic cells that convert energy from sunlight directly into electricity. The optics used concentrates the sunlight by a factor of 500 to 1,000 and focuses it on the solar cells, which are reduced to a small fraction of the CPV module. This helps in the cost-efficient use of highly efficient multi-junction solar cells. Solar CPV requires a high level of radiation concentration to increase its output and solar trackers help to monitor the sun’s rays during the day so as to focus the sunlight falling over a huge area onto a small set of PV cells. Solar CPV is gaining competitiveness in areas with high direct normal irradiation (DNI). The solar CPV installations are increasing in countries such as Spain, the US, Australia, China, and India, which receive high solar radiation. Solar CPV is a relatively immature technology compared to other PV technologies and an increase in concentration and efficiency will lead to its LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity) reduction. It is expected to gain lower LCOE than PV technologies in the forecast period. Moreover, lower land requirements for solar CPV provide an advantage compared to PV. Analysts forecast the Global Solar Concentrated Photovoltaic market will grow at a CAGR of 34.1 percent over the period 2013-2018.

The Report recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Solar Concentrated Photovoltaic Market: Abegoa Solar, Amonix Inc., Arima EcoEnergy, Emcore Corp., Soitec SA , C Power SRL, Circadian Solar, Cool Earth Solar, ES System, Everphoton Energy Corporation, Inc., Green and Gold Energy Pty., Ltd., Guascor Foton, Heliotrop, JX Crystals, Opel International Inc., Pacific Solar Tech Inc., Prism Solar Technologies, Inc., Pyron Solar, Semprius, Silicon CPV Plc, Sol 3G, Solar System Pty, Solar Tec International AG, Sunrgi, Suncore Photovoltaic Technology Company Limited, Whitfield Solar, Zytech Solar.

The major focus of solar CPV companies across the world is to increase the efficiency of CPV systems, which will help to reduce the overall system costs. The efficiency of CPV modules is around 30 percent, which is already higher than solar PV and CSP technologies. However, there is still a huge scope for improvement to further reduce the overall cost. With increased efficiency and declining overall costs, solar CPV technology will shortly achieve grid parity in many countries across the world.

The Global Solar CPV market can be segmented into three divisions: High Concentrated Photovoltaic, Medium Concentrated Photovoltaic and Low Concentrated Photovoltaic. This division is based upon the degree of concentration of CPV systems.

Global Solar Concentrated Photovoltaic Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Solar CPV market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the reduction in average installation prices of solar CPV systems. With solar CPV manufacturing companies achieving economies of scale and obtaining government support, the average prices of these systems are declining. This has resulted in solar CPV systems becoming affordable, leading to an increase in the number of installations across the world.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the lack of standardization of solar CPV components. Without set standards, it is difficult for manufacturers to reduce the production cost of solar CPV systems.

Greater China Notebook PC Industry Research Report, 2Q 2014

View a Presentation on The Greater China Notebook PC Industry, 2Q 2014

 This research report presents shipment volume and value forecast and recent quarter review of the Greater China notebook PC industry. The report includes shipment volume and value, ASP, manufacturer volume ranking, shipment by assembly level, shipment by price point, and product mix analysis. The content of this report is based on primary data obtained through interviews with notebook PC makers. The report finds that the Greater China notebook PC industry’s shipment volume in the first quarter of 2014 declined 14% sequentially, lower than originally expected at around 20%. The slowdown in sequential decline is mainly ascribed to the replacement demand for commercial notebook PCs following Microsoft’s announcement to end the support for Windows XP in April 2014. With smartphones and tablets continuing to divert consumer spending, the Greater China notebook PC industry is projected to see lukewarm shipment performance throughout 2014. Meanwhile, as brand orders are becoming highly concentrated, the combined share of Quanta and Compal, two leading notebook PC contract manufacturers, is anticipated to break 60% some time in 2014.

View a Presentation on Global Urinary Catheters Market 2014-2018

Urinary catheters are devices used to drain out urine from people who have lost control over their urinary bladder. Urinary catheters are used in medical conditions such as urinary incontinence and retention, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, dementia, and temporarily, post-surgery, especially of prostate or genitals. Urinary catheters are made up of latex, polyurethane, or silicone. The procedure of establishing urine drainage using urinary catheters is known as catheterization. Mostly the catheters are inserted into the urethra and guided into the bladder; but with the development of technologically advanced catheters such as male external catheters, there is no need for catheter insertion, reducing the rate of CAUTI. Analysts forecast the Global Urinary Catheters market will grow at a CAGR of 5.18 percent over the period 2013-2018.

The Report recognizes the following companies as the key players in Global Urinary Catheters Market: B. Braun Melsungen AG, Coloplast A/S, C.R. Bard Inc., Hollister Inc. , Teleflex Inc.  , AdvancedCath, Boston Scientific Corp. , Cook Medical Inc. , Covidien plc, ConvaTec SA, Cure Medical  , Wellspect HealthCare DENTSPLY IH AB.

Coated urinary catheters are being highly adopted by physicians. The coating is generally of Teflon, silicone elastomer, hydrogels, and antimicrobial agents. Silicone is used to maintain the optimal shape and firmness of the catheters as it is not affected by heat or cold. Teflon reduces the rate of absorption of water, preventing urethral contact. A hydrogel coating absorbs water to produce a slippery outside. Hydrophilic lubricant impregnates the catheter making its insertion and removal easier. The antimicrobial coatings made from nitrofurazone and silver alloy help prevent the formation of biofilms and crusts, reducing the rate of CAUTI acquired by incontinent patients.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Urinary Catheters market for the period 2014-2018.

The Global Urinary Catheters market can be segmented into three divisions: Foley Catheters, Intermittent Catheters, and Male External Catheters.

The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Urinary Catheters market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

 According to the report, the Global Urinary Catheters market is driven by several factors, among which the increasing aging population is one of the major drivers. It is estimated that nearly 2 billion people will be aged 60 and above by 2050. As a person ages, the incidence of urinary incontinence also increases and thereby increases demand for urinary catheters. Nearly 200 million people above the age of 65 worldwide are affected by urinary incontinence.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges faced by the market is the presence of alternative treatment options for urinary incontinence. Fixer-occluder devices for incontinence, urethral plugs, vaginal slings, and absorbent pads or underwear help incontinent patients to pass urine and medications such as fesoterodine are more accepted by the population.
