U.S. Government COTS IT Procurement Vehicles Market

The U.S. Government has a number of procurement vehicles for the commercial off the shelf (COTS) information technology that they buy on a routine basis. This market is experiencing a shift regarding the acquisition of products and services. Within the past few years, agency-specific contracts have garnered more attention from federal agencies due to key factors such as adaptability and lower pricing. Alleviating risks related to procurements is the overall key reason for federal agencies gravitating towards agency-specific contracts. With the General Services Administration (GSA) offering strategic partnering for those agencies, not only can procurement risks be mitigated, but monitoring of contracting activity increases significantly.

Packaged Food in Slovenia

Healthy value growth continues in packaged food in Slovenia during 2011
Packaged food in Slovenia is expected to have performed well during 2011, with positive growth projected across the majority of packaged food categories. However, when comparing growth rates from 2011 with growth from previous years of the review period, it is also clear that growth is slowing down in the majority of packaged food categories. This is mainly result of the residual effects of the global financial crisis, which is leading to Slovenian consumers thinking twice before parting with any amount of money, no matter how small. The ongoing high level of price sensitivity in Slovenia is leading many consumers to turn towards lower-priced packaged food, especially private label.


Browse All: Food Market Research Reports


Health and wellness and greater convenience remain the major trends
Two major trends had a significant impact on packaged food in Slovenia during 2010 and the first half of 2011. The first of these is the health and wellness trend, which remained the most influential trend in packaged food in Slovenia throughout the second half of the review period. As health awareness continues to rise among Slovenian consumers, demand for natural and healthier products is increasing. As a result of this, packaged food made using natural ingredients which offer additional benefits such as fortification with vitamins and calcium performed very well during 2010 and 2011, as did packaged food which contains less fat and fewer calories. Furthermore, packaged food which targets consumers with specific health needs also prospered during 2010 and 2011. The second important trend influencing packaged food in Slovenia during the second half of the review period was the rising demand for greater convenience. This arose as a result of Slovenians having less spare time than ever, leading them to demand packaged food which can be prepared and consumed quickly and easily.

The predominance of domestic producers is set to continue
Slovenian consumers generally prefer domestic packaged food brands and products and this has resulted in domestic producers dominating packaged food for some time. Artisanal bakeries and Ljubljanske Mlekarne dd are the leading players in overall Slovenia packaged food industry. These are all domestic producers and a similar picture also becomes apparent when looking at the company rankings within specific categories. In the majority of packaged food categories, the leading producers are all domestic companies. Nevertheless, the influence of multinational companies remains highly evident and cannot be ignored.

The popularity of one-stop-shopping continues to build
Slovenian consumers generally enjoy purchasing many grocery items at one place, which is the main reason for grocery retailers holding the vast majority of distribution share within packaged food in the country throughout the review period. Supermarkets/hypermarkets remains the most popular distribution channel for packaged food in Slovenia, although the popularity of discounters increased during the second half of the review period as the global economic crisis took its toll on Slovenia’s economy. This was mainly due to the lower prices attached to the products offered within discounters outlets, which attract a significant proportion of Slovenia’s generally price-sensitive consumers. Apart from large format grocery retailers, other important distribution channels for packaged food in Slovenia are small grocery retailers, specifically convenience stores, which was the most important small grocery retailers channel for the distribution of packaged food in Slovenia during 2011. However, these small grocery retailers channels are steadily losing distribution value share in the majority of packaged food categories due to still rising popularity of one-stop shopping and the rising demand for the lower prices charged for goods through chained large format grocery retailers.

The future of packaged food in Slovenia remains positive
Packaged food in Slovenia is expected to perform well during 2011, with positive value sales growth also expected to continue throughout the forecast period. However, when comparing the projected performance of packaged food in Slovenia for the forecast period with the growth registered during the review period, it is clear that the growth rates are set to be lower during the forecast period than they were during the review period. This is expected to be mainly due to the lingering effects of the financial and economic instability in Europe, specifically in smaller countries of the Eurozone, and the ongoing price-sensitivity of Slovenian consumers. As soon as the global and regional economic situation improves, however, value sales growth rates in packaged food in Slovenia can be expected to begin rising again.

Orphan Drug Trends 2011

Orphan Drug Trends 2011 - With the industry’s ongoing transition toward more niche high-value therapies, a growing number of companies are expanding into the orphan drugs arena, fuelled by the incentives offered by national regulatory authorities, the high price point orphan drugs can achieve, and the limited competition they face.

Features and benefits

An overview of orphan drug designation policies in the major pharmaceutical markets
Insight into pricing and reimbursement challenges faced by orphan drug manufacturers
Review of Orphan Drug Market R&D, designation, and approval trends in the US market
Orphan drug deal trend and case study analysis

Highlights
• With the growing number of orphan drugs entering the market, products are facing tougher scrutiny from payers, with pricing and reimbursement remaining the most significant hurdle to market access, leading to the use of risk-sharing agreements by a number of manufacturers.
• Pharma’s shift toward niche markets is occurring either by gradually undertaking several bolt-on deals with specialist players, as exemplified by GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer, or opting for a large scale merger or acquisition to rapidly access the target company’s orphan drug portfolio, as illustrated by Sanofi’s purchase of Genzyme.
• The majority of orphan drug candidates targeted by pharma are in Phase III clinical trials, and are accessed primarily through licensing deals. Nevertheless, pharma is also keen to access orphan drugs during pre-clinical development. Often these deals involve smaller up-front fees, with greater emphasis on commercial milestone and royalty payments.

Packaged Food in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Published: November 2011
Price: $ 6500


Growth, inflation, recession, recovery
During the first half of the review period the Bosnia-Herzegovina Packaged Food Market grew strongly. Main drivers of the market in 2006 and 2007 were expansion of consumers’ disposable income and penetration of large chained retailers, which significantly improved the range of products offered to consumers in Bosnia-Herzegovina. 2008 is the year remembered by volatility of food prices across the world. This was the first in a series of shocks which followed until 2011. During 2009 the global financial crisis spread to Bosnia-Herzegovina and the domestic economy grinded to a halt and began to decline. Recession continued throughout 2010. This negativity in the environment was reflected in a significant decline of Bosnian and Herzegovinian consumers’ disposable income. Like most fast-moving consumer goods, sales of packaged food suffered. However, some categories performed better than others, for example private label brands and basic foodstuffs. In 2011 we begin to see first signs of market recovery in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Inflation and high unemployment delay serious recovery
The packaged food market as well as the economy in Bosnia-Herzegovina began to recover from the recession during 2011. Still, it is not all blue skies yet. Prices of basic foodstuffs started to grow at the end of 2010 and continued going up in 2011. Categories most affected by price volatility are chocolate confectionery, bakery products and oils and fats, incidentally the same categories which drove price inflation during 2008. Nevertheless, 2011 performance of packaged foods in Bosnia-Herzegovina is expected to be an improvement relative to 2010 and 2009. Manufacturers and retailers have adapted their portfolios, focusing on economy products and private label. Purchasing power of consumers is still negatively affected by a high unemployment rate, but there is work to be found in grey areas of the economy.

Dominance of large regional players
Packaged Food in Bosnia-Herzegovina - Several large regional manufacturing groups have established their dominance over the packaged food market in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Packaged food manufacturing companies run by the Croatian concern Agrokor are heading the market, relying on strong support from its sister company Konzum, which grew into an absolute leader in Bosnian and Herzegovinian grocery retailing during the review period. Danube Foods and Podravka have also managed to leverage their wide production portfolios and financial superiority to claim the remaining spots on top of the packaged foods market in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnian and Herzegovinian consumers are obviously assigning great value to regional brands, perceiving them to offer best value for money. Domestic manufacturers are often perceived to offer inferior quality, which is why they need to price their products below those of regional and international competition.

Polarisation of retailing
Packaged food retailing in Bosnia-Herzegovina continues to be dominated by small grocery retailers, but these outlets are losing ground to large retailers, as supermarkets/ hypermarkets has continued to gain value share over the review period at the expense of independent small grocers. These outlets are able to offer best deals to consumers that are increasingly interested in price. Hence, strong performance of private label. Retailers which have achieved largest penetration of private label in their outlets are: Konzum, Mercator, Tus and DM. Large retail outlets are also able to offer consumers the widest range of brands and products to choose from. Independent small retailers are forced to specialise, increasingly serving as convenience specialists, price specialists or food specialists. Since leading manufacturers shifted their focus towards key accounts (large chained retailers), smaller manufacturers with limited advertising resources are beginning to focus on smaller independents where they can achieve better visibility and better sales. Convenience stores, in keeping with the general trend towards convenience, has increased its share over the review period.

Radiography includes mammography, computed tomography, traditional x-ray and digital x-ray. These imaging procedures are affected by a number of factors: advances in technology, consumer expectations for healthcare, declining reimbursement and coverage of medical expenses by insurances companies and the aging of the population are among the factors driving these imaging markets.

This report, Medical Imaging Market from Kalorama Information, details these these factors and provides 2011 market size and forecast to 2015 for the following markets
• Digital X-Ray
• Traditional X-Ray
• Dental X-Ray
• Film
• CT
• Mammography
• Fluoroscopy
• Regional Markets (US, Europe, Asia, ROW) for these segments
Digital systems replace the conventional film cassette with an electronic receptor that directly converts the x-rays to digital images. Over the years, Kalorama Information analyst Joe Constance has tracked this trend of digital radiography. Digital technology enables x-ray modalities to detect problem sites more rapidly and with greater accuracy. These capabilities are helping fuel hospitals' transition from film-based systems to filmless environments. At the same time there are practical limiters to digital and areas where film-based systems will still be useful, and the report details these.

This report analyzes the current and potential world market for medical and dental x-ray systems. Various modalities that use x-rays to create images, such as fluoroscopy and CT, are included in the report. Also reviewed is the market for medical and dental x-ray film. This report emphasizes the current and future markets for these products. This report generally reviews the nature and direction of research, as well as future markets. It also profiles several companies involved in marketing medical and dental x-ray equipment, and medical and dental x-ray film, including:

Dramatic Change in X-Ray Market as Digital Systems Exceed Traditional
Kalorama Information estimates that digital x-ray system sales will exceed those of traditional x-ray systems used for a medical (non-dental) purpose in 2011. According to the healthcare market research publisher, revenues for digital x-ray systems are the largest component of the $12 billion radiography market, slightly higher than the firm's projection for traditional systems. Kalorama notes in its new report: Medical Imaging Markets: X-Ray, Digital X-Ray, CT and Other Radiography Systems, that digital x-ray will exhibit the highest growth in the radiography market which includes mammography, fluoroscopy, dental imaging, computed tomography, and analog x-ray systems.

The report states that it is initially expensive to purchase a digital x-ray system such as the Philips DigitalDiagnost, the Siemens AXIOM Multix, or products from several other companies. But with continued use, operating costs are lower than with standard radiography. Digital systems don't require film and processing, the annual cost of which can be as great as the capital cost of standard radiographic equipment. And, once a digital system is installed, large film storage facilities are no longer needed.

"The initial cost of buying a digital system is several times higher than a conventional system," said Joe Constance, the report's author and imaging analyst for Kalorama Information. "But the high cost can be justified, particularly in a high volume setting."

Kalorama finds that it is not the cost savings but convenience and usability that are especially driving system sales. Diagnosticians can retrieve digital x-rays almost instantly from a computer terminal. The movement to digitize diagnostic imaging is closely tied to the movement to boost health care efficiency through the digitization of health care records - electronic medical records (EMRs). As a result of steadily increasing digital business, radiology equipment manufacturers that once had significant involvement in film and film-related technologies have been investing in alternative digital technologies.

The report also notes changes in the competitors operating in x-ray equipment. Because innovation relies greatly on funding, large companies with flexible budgets for research and development have owned a sizable percentage of the market. But others, such as Kodak, have left the business. That company decided to focus its attention on the significant digital growth opportunities in consumer and professional imaging and graphic communications.

The report contains analysis of the market including company profiles, regional market breakouts, key trends and market shares of competitors.

Out of Pocket Healthcare Spending 2011

Published: April 2011
No. of Pages: 85
Price: $ 1995







The costs of health care products and services continue to rise briskly, significantly outpacing currently low inflation rates. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average household's spending on health care after inflation has been rising by about 1.4% each year. Retirees have been particularly hard hit, with inflation-adjusted out-of-pocket costs rising by more than 2% each year as a result of increased spending on prescription drugs.

While insurance is the most common form of payment for healthcare services, increasingly customers are paying for their own expenses. Pharmaceutical, device and diagnostic companies, should recognize that a part of their revenues are originating directly or indirectly from out of pocket expenditures. Unique financial services have been created to facilitate non-insurance-paid health care services, and more are expected to be created in the near term.

The economic recession of December 2007 to October 2009 represented a major downturn that led to broad-based cost-cutting, rising unemployment and reduced disposable income. The impact of the pullback - which some experts compared to the Great Depression of 1929 to 1934 - cannot be overstated. Kalorama Information looks at what change has resulted in out of pocket expenditure for healthcare as a result of the recession and weak recovery.

As part of Kalorama Information's trusted process, secondary research from government, medical and industry sources was utilized along with interviews with industry experts in the healthcare finance industry.

In Weak Recovery, Consumers Bearing More of Healthcare Costs

Healthcare costs paid out-of-pocket by consumers have increased steadily in recent years, but according to Kalorama Information, the recession and weak recovery are additional drivers for the trend. In fact, the independent healthcare market research firm has found in its new report, Out of Pocket Healthcare Spending 2011, that out-of-pocket healthcare spending was $303 billion in 2010 and the rate of growth will accelerate at 8% annually in the coming years.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average household's inflation-adjusted spending on healthcare has been rising by about 1.4% each year. Retirees have been particularly hard hit, with inflation-adjusted out-of-pocket healthcare costs rising by more than 2% each year as a result of increased spending on prescription drugs.

"The recent recession brought with it a high unemployment rate, exacerbated by increased outsourcing of jobs to lower cost countries, broad-based cost-cutting and reduced disposable income," said Bruce Carlson, publisher of Kalorama Information. "Meanwhile, affordable healthcare has become less available but more necessary."

The costs of healthcare products and services continue to rise briskly; in some cases, they have become astronomical. For example, in 2010, average annual healthcare premiums for a family of four ($13,770) approached annual earnings at the federal minimum wage ($14,500). As a result, Kalorama notes that managed care organizations are increasingly shifting the burden of healthcare costs to consumers by way of increased co-pays and premiums.

About 70% of consumers' out-of-pocket healthcare spending goes to premiums. And this is increasing as HMOs and employers engage in cost shifting. Co-pays make up a little over 3% of spending, which Kalorama also expects to increase due to cost shifting. Another 27% of out-of-pocket spending goes to direct payments.

The Health Care Reform of 2010 has significantly changed the landscape of the U.S. healthcare industry by extending healthcare coverage to approximately 32 million previously uninsured people. Although this could potentially decrease some demand for out-of-pocket spending from the previously uninsured, it may in fact, raise awareness of the value of basic care and bring more persons into the medical system, thus potentially increasing spending as newly insured consumers take a renewed interest in their health and wellness.
