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

Wearable Technologies in Clothing



The convergence of digital technology and apparel represents a huge opportunity as the telecom, electronics, clothing, and accessories industries cooperate to bring wearable technology to the consumer in a very personal way. While some wearable technology examples represent trendy fashion statements, others bring more than form as high function becomes a reality, particularly in the health and fitness sub-segment.

We see certain wearable technologies in clothing as fully integrated, stand-alone offerings while others are enablers of others such as sensors. Wearable sensors must be flexible, durable, multifunctional and washable to be used in clothing. Most wearable sensors made of pouring a liquid polymer insulator over nanowires attached to a silicon plate. Sensors get integrated into clothing or can be in direct contact with the human skin.

This research evaluates wearable technology in clothing including current offerings, anticipated future solutions, and the overall industry outlook. The report also provides forecasting for 2015 to 2020.

Target Audience:

Telecom companies
Semiconductor companies
Health and fitness industry
Clothing and accessory industry
