In total, 12 new airports were built in 2013 and a further 12 are planned for development by 2015. The expansion of new routes by domestic carriers has provided more opportunities for domestic tourism and has opened up locations such as Belitung, Bandung, Pangkalpinang, Mataram, Bali, Tarakan, Pontianak, Malang and Batu, Bandar Lampung and Labuan Bajo to more frequent visits.

Garuda Indonesia launched flights to many destinations in Eastern Indonesia using smaller aircraft. Garuda is currently flying from Bali to Komodo Airport at Labuan Bajo in Flores, from Denpasar to Labuan Bajo and Tambolaka, from Denpasar to Bima and Mataram in West Nusatenggara, Denpasar to Mataram and Bima routes starting December 2013. In November 2013, Garuda Indonesia began providing immigration services for its passengers on its GuangzhouJakarta flights.

According to the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), at least 45,000 new hotel rooms will open in 2013, an addition of 30,000 rooms, compared to 15,000 in 2012. Around 36 budget and upscale hotels were launched in 2013 in Jakarta, adding 3,000 new rooms. Popular hotel brands such as Ibis Budget, Pop!

Nuclear Medicine Market and Radiopharmaceuticals

The report focuses on "Nuclear Medicine Market and  Radiopharmaceuticals [SPECT/PET Radioisotopes (Technetium, F-18)], [Beta/Alpha radiation therapy (I131, Y-90)], [Applications (Cancer/Oncology, Cardiac)] & Stable Isotopes (Deuterium, C-13) - Global Trends & Forecast to 2017"

The market of radiopharmaceuticals is dominated by diagnostic radioisotopes, comprising of SPECT and PET radioisotopes. The lion’s share of the SPECT market is taken up by Tc-99m, whereas the PET market is dominated by F-18FDG isotope. Furthermore, the PET market will witness a double digit growth during the forecast period. The therapeutic segment contributes only 10% to the global radiopharmaceuticals market and I-131 has been considered as the gold standard for various oncology treatments in a combined therapy. Global nuclear medicines market is majorly driven by the increasing adoption of PET and SPECT scanners, and rising awareness for radiopharmaceuticals, whereas short half life of isotopes and stringent regulations are the factors that are hindering the growth of radiopharmaceuticals worldwide.

Besides highly preferred isotopes such as Tc-99m and F-18, significant growth is witnessed for Tl-201 and Rb-82 in diagnostic market and Y-90 and Lu-177 in beta therapy radioisotopes market. Exhaustive pipeline analysis reveals that coronary heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, and bone metastasis will drive the diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals market, whereas lymphoma, prostate cancer, bone metastasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma will boost the future of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. Besides new applications, the potential molecules that are expected to drive the market include Alpharadin (Ra-223), Ga-68, F-18 florbetapir, and F-18 choline. Though Ra-223 application is still under clinical trial, the market is highly optimistic regarding its clinical efficiency in prostate cancer, and bone metastasis.

North America held the largest share in the global radiopharmaceuticals market. The U.S. market is highly supported by the Mo-99 production of NRU reactor (Canada) and ongoing researches in different clinical institutes such as National Cancer Institute, Avid Radiopharmaceuticals and so on. Besides developed markets, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to show a remarkable growth in the coming years. China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and South Africa are expected to show a high growth potential amongst the emerging geographies. These countries are influenced by the domestic production of isotopes by reactors and government initiatives.

Apart from upcoming isotopes and their applications, understanding of the interlinked supply chain was imperative for market estimation. Value chain analysis and pipeline analysis have taken care of such business issues to come up with a consolidated market analysis, including the present and future impact of different factors. Demand and supply analysis identifies the potential risk of the interrupted supply of Mo-99 for the Tc-99m production, due to scheduled shutdown of major reactors and the benchmarking trend adopted by leading players to combat such operational difficulties.

The radiopharmaceutical market has been analyzed from both the radiopharmaceuticals processors’ and generator manufacturer’s perspectives. It has been identified that shifting from HEU to LEU is the major strategy in the processors market, while strengthening the supply chain of radiopharmaceuticals is the prime concern for the generator manufacturers.

In addition to the market size and forecast for radioisotopes, the report also covers competitive landscape and key developments of major players, pipeline analysis, investment opportunities, and regulatory affairs for established players as well as new entrants.

Winning and Retaining Business in the Australian Mining Equipment Sector



Synopsis
The survey primarily assessed heavy mobile equipment, however respondents were also asked about their practices and preferences in areas such as mining software, technology, and maintenance.
Areas of analysis include:
Customer priorities when buying mining equipment, with ratings of the importance of 16 separate factors for customers when choosing mining equipment, including cost factors, supplier attributes and product attributes.
Ratings of existing suppliers across the same factors, identifying best-performing suppliers and how well suppliers performed versus the importance of each factor.
In-depth analysis of the major suppliers, namely Caterpillar, Joy Global, Komatsu and Volvo, including their overall performance ratings and their ratings for each of the factors relative to its importance.
Rankings of the leading suppliers for each equipment type, with respondents indicating who they viewed as the top suppliers in Australia for trucks, excavators, loaders, shovels, dozers, drills, continuous miners, longwall systems, engines, tyres, pumps and mining software.
Insight into the likelihood of switching supplier and key action points for suppliers for product and service improvements required.

Summary
Overall trends in the data revealed:
- Customer priorities in supplier selection are product quality and availability of parts
- Suppliers perform well, but customer satisfaction is frequently lowest in the most important areas for customers
- Volvo and Komatsu received the highest average satisfaction ratings, with Caterpillar considered the leading supplier for most categories of mining equipment
- Account managers make a significant impact in the selection process
- Although loyal to their suppliers, customers look for improvement in parts availability and product quality

Scope
Winning and Retaining Business in the Australian Mining Equipment Sector, 2014 published by Timetric Mining Intelligence Centre, provides readers with a detailed analysis of customer preferences in the Australian mining sector. The analysis is based upon Timetrics survey of 110 mine managers, procurement managers and other key decision-makers

Reasons To Buy
