<br />
The integration of photonics with electronics brought about a new lease of life to the industry. But with the high cost of optical fibers and other optoelectronic components, their adoption remained limited to the high end devices and applications. The search for a cheaper base material ended with silicon that began to be used for photonic applications, thus giving birth to the new science-silicon-photonics. When compared with conventional electronics, silicon photonics provide 90% of its efficiency with one-third of power consumption, at one-tenth of the cost and no requirement of additional manufacturing technology. This makes it more attractive for customers and lucrative for manufacturers. The silicon photonics product market is segmented into silicon waveguides, silicon modulators, silicon optical interconnects wavelength division multiplexer filters, silicon LED and silicon photo detector. <br />
<br />
In Silicon photonics market, wavelength division multiplex filter is the largest segment, and is expected to be US$620 million by 2014 at a CAGR of 106% from the year 2009 to 2014. The high market size of wavelength division multiplex filters is due to its early commercialization and wide application area in telecommunication. The photo detector market is expected to be US$301 million in 2014.<br />
<br />
Early commercialization of products and high absorption rate of electronic products have made U.S. the dominant market in 2008 with 56.7% share of the global silicon photonics product market. Increased research and developments in U.S. companies have also helped it dominate the silicon photonics market. Europe is estimated to be the second largest with 25% share of the market. <br />

      <title>New Report Global Dental Implants Market (2010 -2015) Published by MarketsandMarkets</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The global dental implants market is expected to grow from $3.2 billion in 2010 to $4.2 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 6% from 2010 to 2015. Europe currently forms the world’s largest market for dental implants with a 42% market share</p><p>Dallas, TX -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/19/2010 --   Dental implants already hold a substantial 18% share of the global dental device market; and are also expected to have one of the highest growth rates amongst all dental device submarkets. This is primarily because dental implants offer an effective treatment for edentulism and because of the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry worldwide across all age groups. <br />
<br />

<br />
The global dental implants market is expected to grow from $3.2 billion in 2010 to $4.2 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 6% from 2010 to 2015. Europe currently forms the world&apos;s largest market for dental implants with a 42% market share, and is also expected to have the highest CAGR 7.0% from 2010 to 2015.<br />
<br />
While the lack of consumer awareness in developing economies may hinder market growth, industry players still have immense growth opportunities as merely 2% to 3% of the global edentulous population has already received dental implant treatment so far. The aging baby-boomer population in developed nations offers an especially high-growth opportunity, as this consumer segment is characterized by high disposable income, and also by an increased need for dental care due to longer life expectancy.<br />

<br />
While the share of deposits made in community banks dwindled from 70% in 1994 to 12.4% in 2009; the current economic recession is proving to be a boon for these organizations . Customers are losing faith in large financial institutions, and with the failure of the &apos;too big to fail&apos; theory, are moving their deposits back to community banks. It is the right time for community banks to capitalize on this shift and put the right programs in place to accelerate their success. <br />
<br />
In the current recovery phase, community banks are looking for cost-effective alternatives that can be implemented quickly. Services such as internet banking, mobile banking, and remote deposit capture play an important role in enabling community banks to better serve their customers. Lack of confidence in big banks is the major factor attracting consumers towards community banks.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Banks that have successfully targeted the small business segment earn better net interest margin (NIM) and return on assets (ROA) compared to banks who neglected the small business segment. The banks trying to gain a competitive edge and bigger share of the small business markets have to be cognizant of various behavioral, economic, regulatory and technological challenges.</p><p>Dallas, TX -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/23/2010 --   Twenty nine million small businesses currently operate in the U.S., and a major portion of these require financial solutions such as cash and credit management, trade financing, payroll processing and treasury services. Banks that have successfully targeted the small business segment earn better net interest margin (NIM) and return on assets (ROA) compared to banks who neglected the small business segment. The banks trying to gain a competitive edge and bigger share of the small business markets have to be cognizant of various behavioral, economic, regulatory and technological challenges. Banks need to design their product portfolio to match the requirements of the small businesses and also determine the best channel to deliver their products. <br />

<br />
To meet the high financial challenges, i.e. the cost of serving the small business owners, bankers are focusing on direct marketing. Acknowledging that the cost of serving new customers is almost 10 times the cost of serving existing customers, most small business bankers are involved in up-selling and cross-selling of services to the existing customers. The current economic environment has changed the landscape for small businesses. If banks want to succeed in this segment, they need to be better informed about small businesses wants and needs, provide the right product at attractive cost, and learn how to evolve their risk profile to accommodate a wider audience. <br />
<br />
U.S. Small Business Banking Trends is a study of small businesses using banking products and the changing trends in small business banking. The study is designed to provide insights on the behavior and attitude of the small businesses towards the banking products offered by large as well as small banks. <br />
<br />

The section provides analysis of the key banks serving small businesses and discusses the market share of the key players. <br />
<br />

Increasing ageing population concerns are driving the need for domestic and personal service robots. Efficient and advanced robots with lower power consumption are the need of the hour.<br />
<br />
In personal service robotics market, domestic robotics market is the largest segment; and is expected to reach US$1.97 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 52%. The high market size of domestic robots is mainly due to demand of robots for assistance in household tasks and act as companion. The entertainment market is estimated to be $1.85 billion in 2014. Defense, security and surveillance robots cover the large segment of the professional service robotics market. However, they are expected to be taken over by field robots by 2014.<br />
<br />
Ageing population and continuous research has made Asia the dominant player in the service robotics market. In 2009, the market share is estimated to be 52% with a size of $3.7 billion. Europe is expected to have the second-highest market for service robots. However, large consumer base of domestic robots in the U.S. and Europe makes them the most attractive market for vacuum cleaners and other domestic products.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The total number of businesses in the US is around 24 million, of which around 17 million are eligible for the RDC solution.

The initial adoption was among the banks and financial institutions as branch deposit capture. This was followed by the adoption of the bank&apos;s commercial base wherein the major targeted segment was big businesses where banks held their core deposit and asset base. As banks turned their focus to merchants, they initially targeted small and medium size businesses with annual revenue of $1 million to $25 million. While the adoption has lagged behind expectations, 2% in 2007, this segment of the market is beginning to see value in the solution and adoption is on the upswing, currently around 30%. The big unknown, the micro business segments with annual revenue of $25,000 to $1 million, represents 70% of all printed checks, and promises to be an attractive market if banks can learn how to crack it. <br />

<br />
The total number of businesses in the US is around 24 million, of which around 17 million are eligible for the RDC solution. With the launch of RDC it was expected that by 2012 it will tap the huge potential segment. However, low adoption rate has led to an &apos;opportunity gap&apos; here. The opportunity gap also arises from the currently inefficient channel of marketing RDC, the failure to deploy scanners to the end-users, and the lack of training and awareness.<br />
<br />
The objective of the report is to provide the most effective channel and message, the target market, and provide an insight into the decision making process. Our report, A New Look at Merchant Remote Deposit Capture, Getting Merchants to Use the Service, will help Financial Institutions to gain a better understanding of what they can do now to increase the RDC penetration. <br />
<br />

<br />
• Strategy Formulation – Market definition, industry overview, market size, key drivers, and issues related to the adoption of the remote deposit capture among merchants <br />
<br />
• Business Models – Live business case studies on go-to-market strategies, and on challenges during RDC deployment <br />
<br />
• Vendor Analysis – Vendor profiling, vendor benchmarking and analysis <br />

<br />
The global smartphones market is growing at a brisk pace, already accounting for 14% of the global mobile phone market. This high growth has been backed by rapid technology developments such as high-speed internet browsing, sophisticated personal and professional data management, and the evolution of 3G and 4G network technologies. The Asian region, especially, India and China have emerged as smartphones hotspot with the continuous development of cellular markets and the increasing 3G penetrations and expenditure on consumer electronics across the region. In relatively saturated markets, such as the North America and Europe, operator&apos;s subsidies and carrier wars has been fuelling the growth of the smartphones market in the region. The global smartphones market is estimated to reach $150.3 billion in 2014 from about $55.4 billion in 2009.<br />
<br />
While the economic recession adversely affected the global markets; the global smartphones market was one of the very few markets that did not have impact of the global meltdown. The smartphones market with an annual growth rate of 12.8% from 2008 to 2009 is expected to grow by 26% over 2009 to become a $69.8 billion market in 2010.<br />
<br />
The global smartphones device market is segmented into the submarkets for business smartphones and consumer smartphones. The latter is the larger and faster-growing market, accounting for approximately 3/4th of the global smartphones revenues. However, the business smartphones segment is expected have a faster growth in the future owing to the continuing mobilization of enterprise. In both the segments, touchscreen has emerged as the preferred interface, representing 39.6% of global shipments, followed by the keypad input type with a 31.2% share.<br />
<br />

      <title>MarketsandMarkets: Wooing the Underbanked – Need, Behavior and Attitude Analysis – Market Research Report </title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The underbanked are educated and employed but are reluctant to use traditional banking products such as debit / credit cards, short term loans, etc., primarily due to the fear of hidden costs and convenience issues.</p><p>Dallas, TX -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 05/11/2010 --   The unbanked and the underbanked together spend around $10.4 billion on more than 324 million alternate financial services (AFS) products. This is due to lack of knowledge on part of the banks to target and market banking products to the underserved. Economic inclusion of the underbanked population (approximately 43 million in 2009) into the traditional banking cycle will have a significant financial impact on the federally insured banks that have traditionally stayed out of this market. Wooing the Underbanked – Need, Behavior and Attitude Analysis is a market research study designed specifically to profile underbanked populace/households. The aim of this report is to analyze various reasons behind the low adoption of banking products by underbanked and their preference for alternate financial services (AFS) and products (transaction/credit). <br />

<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wooing-underbanked-181.html" href="http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wooing-underbanked-181.html">http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/wooing-underbanked-181.html</a><br />
<br />
The underbanked are educated and employed but are reluctant to use traditional banking products such as debit / credit cards, short term loans, etc., primarily due to the fear of hidden costs and convenience issues. They make little use of the services provided by the mainstream financial institutions; their use is limited to traditional banking wherein they usually have a checking / savings account. They also frequently use AFS offered by non-banking institutions. The AFS products are non-bank money orders, payday lending, check cashing facilities, rent-to-own agreements and refund anticipation loans. <br />
<br />
The objective of the report is to provide vital marketing information about the underbanked that also use AFS products; and the traditional and novel banking and financial services that can be rendered to them by the banks. The report will provide new insights and give recommendations for banks intending to capitalize on this untapped market segment. Intensive bifurcation of the underbanked customers on the lines of income, age, education, region, race, etc. will enable product development and provide a roadmap to the future of novel banking practices for the underbanked. <br />
<br />

The BRIC diabetes drugs market is expected to grow from $3.9 billion in 2009 to reach $8.7 billion by 2014, growing at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2009 to 2014. Oral drugs accounted for around 65% of the market in 2009, but injectables are expected to have a higher CAGR of 21.9%. <br />
