A number of factors have prompted us to revise our forecasts for Canada’s power sector. As part of a revision of our historical data series, we have now factored in lower generation, consumption and net installed capacity for 2011

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2012 -- On top of that, a number of macroeconomic and sector-specific dynamics have been priced-in to our outlook. Most notably, according to BMI's Country Risk team, the Canadian growth outlook will remain relatively positive; yet, a significant deceleration in activity is expected in the first half of 2012 as the global economy cools. As a consequence, while we still expect the power sector will avoid entering negative territory, we see power consumption growing only modestly (0.83%) in 2012. In the short term, we believe that much will depend on the external picture and its influence on Canada's economy. With power demand highly correlated to economic activity, we thus see risks to both the upside and the downside to our power forecasts for 2012.

That said, in the long-to-medium term we expect the country's mature electricity market to see a moderation but a positive rise in generation and consumption. With regard to capacity, we highlight that Canada enjoys the advantage of a diverse and balanced electricity mix thanks to its abundant indigenous resources. Yet, despite Canada's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol, environmental concerns are likely to limit a wider use and development of coal-fired power plants. Over the coming years, investment in capacity will thus focus primarily on refurbishing old plants and on green technology. In light of these elements, key themes for Canada's power sector this quarter include: .. Ontario Power Generation awarded Aecon Construction and SNC-Lavalin Nuclear a US$600mn contract to refurbish four reactors at the Darlington nuclear plant in March 2012.

The overhaul will enable the reactors to operate for another 25 to 30 years, with both having reached mid-life. The contract is for the planning phase (which will run from 2012 to 2016) of the Darlington Retube and Feeder Replacement Project. The execution phase of the project will run from 2016 to 2023. .. The Canadian province of Alberta is to go ahead with the construction of two 500 kilovolt (kV) direct current north-south power transmission lines. The CAD3bn (US$3bn) project was first proposed in 2003. The lines are designed to transport electricity from coal-fired power generation stations near Edmonton to the province's southern region. The project has been delayed due to opposition from landholders along the route and critics who claimed that costs are too high, citing options such as domestically located natural gas turbines as better alternatives. .. French construction conglomerate Alstom secured a contract from Canadian state-owned utility Hydro-Quebec to upgrade the 5,616MW Centrale Robert-Bourassa hydropower plant on the La Grande River in January 2012. The contract for the plant, which contains 16 generator units, is worth around EUR50mn (US$64.2mn). The first upgraded unit is expected to become operational in autumn 2013.

Combined heat and power (CHP) systems were responsible for just under 10% of global electrical power generation capacity in 2011.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2012 -- CHP is a set of power generation technologies that provides both heat in the form of steam or hot water and electricity from a single system.

These systems include a prime mover to convert fuel into electricity, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) to generate the process heat and perhaps a boiler if the system burns coal or wood waste to run a steam turbine.

The CHP market has been driven by China in the last five years, as that country's fast paced electrical generation capacity increases have significantly bolstered the CHP market in the country. However, China's power capacity growth is slowing, resulting in an essentially flat global CHP market between 2007 and 2011, posting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just 0.4% for the period to reach a value of $19.3 billion. The CHP market has been much stronger in the U.S. and Germany, with both countries achieving near 20% CAGR between 2007 and 2011. The small-CHP market has experienced an incredible CAGR of 24.8% in the same period on the strength of micro-CHP (under 5 kW) sales in Japan and small-CHP (up to 1 MW) sales in Germany.

Spark spread and government incentives are the two main driving forces behind the CHP market, although each has a different effect for different market segments. The U.S. market has been up and down over the period, and has been lower than what was experienced in the first part of the decade, because of the lack of strong government support and dropping natural gas prices. Germany, on the other hand, has a strong feed in tariff policy that is continuing to drive the CHP market in the country and will continue to do so in the long term. In Japan, exceptionally large subsidies for micro-CHP systems continue to accelerate that segment of the CHP market in the country.

Natural gas turbines continue to provide most CHP electricity generation in the U.S. and Europe, but it is reciprocating engine-based CHP systems that are the most numerous. The most common type of fuel in use for CHP systems in most countries is natural gas. The major exception is China where coal is still the dominant fuel being used in many of the country's district heating systems. Countries such as Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and Finland have over 30% of CHP electricity generation from renewable fuels such as wood waste and municipal waste.

The CHP market will continue to experience slow growth over the next five years. However, SBI Energy expects global electricity costs to rise faster than the cost of natural gas in the long term, leading to a much stronger CHP market through the end of the decade. By 2021, there will be 651 gigawatts (GW) of CHP capacity installed worldwide, and the global CHP market will be worth $43.1 billion. The small-CHP segment will continue to grow faster than the overall CHP market, achieving a CAGR of 12.2% between 2012 and 2021 and growing to be worth a little over 6% of the global CHP market."

Unconventional shale gas and tight oil production continue to make waves in the US market, drastically altering domestic energy prices and supply dynamics.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2012 -- This trend is set to continue, though we expect the lion's share of production growth to be focused on liquids over the next five years given that low gas prices are rendering a swathe of more marginal plays uneconomic. While the gradual upturn in the business cycle is set to lift both gas and liquids demand, we expect growth to be muted as the US makes strides in reducing its energy intensity.

The main trends and developments we highlight in the US oil and gas sector are: .. According to our forecasts, the boom in US unconventional liquids production is set to combine with higher output from the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) to push crude oil, NGL and other liquids supply (this will be referred to as 'liquids supply' throughout the report) to 9.05mn b/d in 2012. By 2016, we see liquids output rising to 9.59mn b/d.

For Sample Pages, please click or add the below link to your browser:
http://www.globalmarketsdirect.com/SamplePdfRequest.aspx?ID=United-States-Oil-and-Gas-Report-Q2-2012&Title=Energy_and_Utilities&ReportType=Industry_Report&CompanyID=sbwirereportstore

Liquids demand growth is set to remain sluggish despite a gradual recovery in the macro-economy. BMI's latest forecasts point to average real GDP growth of 2.0% in 2012, rising to 2.4% in 2013. Total liquids demand growth will therefore recover to 0.1% in 2012 and 0.35% in 2013. Demand growth will remain below trend over the course of the forecast period as the US energy market reduces its energy intensity. We expect liquids demand of 18.86mn b/d in 2012 and 19.16mn b/d in 2016.

The shale gas revolution in the US saw total output soar 6.3% in 2011 to approximately 650bn cubic metres (bcm). However, this unconventional boon has created a supply glut, forcing prices down to 10 year lows. Gas producers have therefore started shutting in non-associated wells and are endeavouring to channel capital expenditure (capex) towards liquids-rich plays where possible. We therefore estimate a sharp fall in gas production growth in 2012. Our forecast is somewhat below consensus, with total gas output anticipated to rise just 0.7% to 655bcm. With prices set to remain well below their five-year average over the medium term, we do not anticipate dramatic growth in gas output. In 2016 we anticipate total output of 677bcm.

Sluggish economic growth is set to limit gas demand growth, despite efforts to boost the use of gas in transportation. The main driver of gas demand growth will continue to be new gas-fired electricity generation, which we expect to rise by approximately 10.9% between 2012 and 2016. Given this outlook, we estimate total gas demand will hit 691bcm in 2012, rising to 718bcm by 2016.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/01/2012 -- Starting the industrial production of activated carbon in 1950s, China now has become the world's largest activated carbon producer and exporter. In recent years, China's activated carbon output has seen rapid growth. From 2002 to 2010, the average annual growth rate of the output was 14.4%; particularly, the output reached 445,000 tons in 2010, up 16.7% from 2009.

Currently, about 50% of Chinese activated carbon is exported to countries and regions including Japan, the United States, and Europe, usually as semi-finished carbon products that need to be re-processed. In 2010, China exported 221,000 tons of activated carbon (up 12.9% year on year), accounting for 49.7% of the total domestic output. The activated carbon imported by China is mainly high value-added activated carbon with special purposes. From 2008 to 2010, China imported over 12,000 tons annually.

By raw material, activated carbon is mainly divided into coal-based activated carbon and wood-based activated carbon, which accounted for 69.9% and 29.9% of the total output of activated carbon respectively in 2010. Owing to the activated carbon raw material supply constraints, manufacturers mainly set plants in the regions where there are abundant raw materials, and the industrial layout is relatively concentrated.

http://www.globalmarketsdirect.com/SamplePdfRequest.aspx?ID=China-Activated-Carbon-Industry-Report-2011-2012&Title=Energy_and_Utilities&ReportType=Industry_Report&CompanyID=sbwirereportstore

Coal-based activated carbon enterprises are mainly concentrated in Shanxi, Ningxia and other coal-rich regions. The annual activated carbon capacity of Ningxia Huahui and Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group reached more than 50,000 tons in 2010 respectively. In recent years, other coal giants have also entered the field of coal-based activated carbon, for example, Datong Coal Mine Group will build up a capacity of 100kt/a coal-based activated carbon in 2012.

Wood-based activated carbon companies are mainly located in Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, but they are mostly small enterprises that produce less than 10,000 tons a year each. In this field, only Fujian Yuanli and Zhixing can each produce more than 20,000 tons of activated carbon a year. In 2010, Fujian Yuanli held approximately 17% market share (by output) in the field of wood-based activated carbon in China.

With the acquisition of Jiangxi Huaiyushan Suntar and the operation of new projects, the capacity of Fujian Yuanli will reach 40,000 tons in 2012.

The next generation sequencing which was primarily used by large research firms like academics, government research centers is now turning out to be a potential transformative diagnostic tool especially for the oncology studies. This shift from the academics to the clinical and diagnostics lab is mainly due to speedy improvements in the costs and technological capabilities.

The major drivers for the growth of NGS market is advancement of technologies and decrease of price of the tests being conducted with increased promotion made by the research institutions for use of DNA sequencers or NGS technology. Similarly, this technology has overridden the microarray technology and currently many institutes prefer the NGS platforms over microarrays. Similarly, greater interest has been observed in the field of cancer and personalized medicines. As the prices are expected to decrease further in the coming years, NGS testing may be considered for reimbursement under the health insurance policies. Lack of reimbursements, pricing cuts lack of skilled labor is hampering the growth of the NGS market globally. Similarly storage of the data is a major concern for the sequencing industry at present.

North America commanded the largest share of 51.8% of the overall NGS market and was valued at $436 million in 2011. Europe accounted for a share of 31.1% and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% from 2011 to 2016.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/06/2012 -- Popularity of Homecare Breathes Life into the Respiratory Devices Market

The global market for respiratory devices is set to increase due to an increase in the number of patients suffering from sleep disorders and respiratory problems, and the increasing popularity of homecare devices, according to a new report by business intelligence experts GBI Research.

The new report* states that the market is expected to be primarily driven by the rising patient population suffering from sleep disorders such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which is commonly caused by smoking.

For sample pages and further information concerning the report Anesthesia and Respiratory Devices Market, to 2017 please visit: http://www.globalmarketsdirect.com/SamplePdfRequest.aspx?ID=Anesthesia-and-Respiratory-Devices-Market-to-2017-Sleep-Apnea-Diagnostic-Systems-and-Portable-Anesthesia-Delivery-Machines-to-be-the-Fastest-Growing-Categories&Title=Medical_Devices&ReportType=Industry_Report&companyID=sbwire

Roughly 300 million people around the world suffer from OSA, the prevalence of which increases with age, reaching 30% to 80% in the elderly population. The affected population has therefore grown during recent years in proportion with the globally ageing population.

COPD similarly affects a massive global population of around 400 to 600 million people, with about 12 million patients in the US alone. These common conditions suffered by a huge population therefore represent a potential goldmine for anesthesia and respiratory device companies.

Recent years have also seen an increase in disposable incomes in emerging countries, alongside increasing numbers of hospitals and the growing demand for home healthcare devices. The shift of healthcare delivery from hospitals to homecare marks an immense change in the modern healthcare industry, caused by technological advancements, changing demographics and government initiatives to reduce healthcare expenditure.

In order to meet the growing need for medical care at home, home healthcare devices have become more easily available, and include glucose meters, dialysis machines, and advanced-technology respiration devices. Innovations in design and technology have led to user-friendly devices that can treat patients without disturbing their normal routine. These are increasingly being adopted worldwide, in an effort to improve individuals' quality of life, and reduce public healthcare spending.

The demand for home healthcare equipment impacts positively upon the respiratory devices market, encouraged by the new respiratory devices such as portable nebulizers, and Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Air Pressure (BiPAP) machines designed for use at home.

The global anesthesia and respiratory devices market is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7% during the period 2010-2017, to exceed $14 billion by 2017.

NOTES TO EDITORS
- Anesthesia and Respiratory Devices Market, to 2017 - Sleep Apnea Diagnostic Systems and Portable Anesthesia Delivery Machines to be the Fastest Growing Categories

The report provides market landscape, competitive landscape and market trends information on eight anaesthesia and respiratory devices market categories – anaesthesia machines, pain management devices, regional anaesthesia disposables, respiratory devices, respiratory disposables, respiratory measurement devices, sleep apnea diagnostic systems and airway anaesthesia devices. This report provides key data, information and analysis on the global anaesthesia and respiratory devices market, and the key trends affecting specific categories, alongside key analytical content on the market dynamics.

Guidebook Series for Investing provide detailed guidance of practical operation for overseas companies and investors how to apply for and secure approval from China's complex registration, investment project and business scope examination process for setting up foreign investment enterprises.

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2012 -- Guidebook Series for Investing in China are unique, comprehensive and thorough guidebooks for foreign companies and investors to achieve a successful entry into the Chinese lucrative market and a low cost manufacturing base.

China's entry into the WTO, in December of 2001, further opened the door to a lucrative market and a low cost manufacturing base for foreign companies and investors. Accession to the WTO bound China by fundamental WTO principles, such as improved transparency and the strengthening of commercial legal procedures. China's WTO commitments also include the tightening of rules on intellectual property, tariff concessions, and permission of foreign investors' entry into domestic market. These commitments will help reduce the risk of doing business in China and encourage increasing flow of trade and investment, enhancing the business opportunities for foreign companies and investors.

China is one of the fastest growing global economies. It has achieved and maintained an annual compound growth rate of GDP well above 9% since the 1980s. China has become the second largest economic entity in the world by 2010, will continue to be a top destination attracting foreign companies and investors from around the world for the foreseeable future.

More and more foreign companies and investors expect to enter such a lucrative market and a low cost manufacturing base, and seize a larger part of such lucrative market. To enter such a lucrative market and a low cost manufacturing base, the first obstacle faced by foreign companies and investors is how to file the application for establishment registration of foreign investment enterprise, how to pass through application and approval for investment projects and business scope. This is involved with not only various Chinese laws and administrative regulations but also various Chinese government authorities.

In China, government authorities administer and control the process of application and approval for establishment registration of foreign investment enterprise, and investment project and business scope by exorbitant administrative measures and regulations, moreover, these exorbitant administrative regulations are variable and lack of transparency. The legal procedure of setting up a foreign investment enterprise in China, unlike in Western countries, requires comparatively complex documents. Lack of knowledge of the Chinese laws and administrative regulations, and the cultural difference between China and Western countries as well as the language barriers will increase the challenge faced by foreign companies and investors. Therefore, a detailed guidance of practical operation and a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the latest Chinese laws and regulations have been become an essential prerequisite for foreign companies and investors to achieve a successful entry into the Chinese lucrative market and a low cost manufacturing base

The Global Compression Therapy Market is Forecast to Exceed $2.5 Billion in 2018

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/04/2012 -- The global market for compression therapy was valued at $2 billion in 2011 and is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5% to $2.7 billion in 2018, driven by the growing incidence of venous disease due to chronic wounds, a growing elderly population, diabetes and repeated wound trauma. The increase in awareness of venous diseases, aided by campaigns from various venous disease forums, societies and educational materials, and the use of compression therapy products as a preventive measure is also expected to encourage market growth.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) pumps have also proved beneficial for preventing Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and complications of venous stasis in patients after trauma, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, or who for other reasons are unable to walk. IPC use has expanded to ambulatory patients who suffer from Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) of the legs and subsequent edema, stasis dermatitis, ulcerations, and cellulitis.

Sigvaris leads the global compression therapy market with a share of 11% in 2011 and revenue of $206.5m. Its product portfolio comprises medical compression garments, such as hosiery and socks used to treat people suffering from various forms of venous disease and lymphatic disorders. Sigvaris' dominance is likely to be due to its presence in a number of geographic locations and its wide distribution network, as well as its therapeutically beneficial, easy-to-apply and aesthetically pleasing compression hosiery products

Chronic wounds are wounds that remain in the inflammatory stage for a significant period of time due to a breakdown in the production of collagen. They can cause severe emotional and physical distress and place a significant financial burden on patients and the healthcare system. They are caused by diabetes, vascular diseases, infection, immobility, trauma, surgery, burns and radiation injury.

There are three main types of chronic wounds: diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers and pressure ulcers.

Diabetes is a leading cause of chronic, non-healing wounds, causing conditions such as foot ulcers, which can further lead to wound infections and progressive tissue loss, resulting in amputation, morbidity, and/or death. A preventive measure that can be taken against diabetic ulcers of the foot is the use of diabetic shoes.

Obesity affects millions of adults and is directly linked to a number of life-threatening diseases. Recent results of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) indicate that an estimated 65% of US adults are either overweight or obese, defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or more. Obese patients have a significantly higher frequency of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) as an immediate cause of death compared to non-obese patients. Studies have also shown that PE is the leading cause of death following gastric bypass surgical procedures.

DVT and venous ulcers are most commonly associated with aging, which is a key factor responsible for the growing number of patients at risk of blood clotting, ulcers and swelling. According to a study published by the American Heart Association (AHA) in October 2010, aging results in an increase in venous valve thickness and thus contributes to a decline in valve function, causing DVT. With aging, individuals also become less active and their cardiopulmonary system slows down.

New report, "Compression Therapy - Global Pipeline Analysis, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecasts to 2018" provides key data, information and analysis for the global compression therapy market. The report details the market and competitive landscapes with comprehensive information on the key trends affecting the market, and key analytical content on market dynamics.
