Infrastructure investment essential for SA shipping industry

The shipping industry is a key player in South Africa’s major successes despite global economic insecurity, but investment in infrastructure is the only way for it to continue to thrive. To safeguard the shipping industry for the future and keep the ‘gateway to Africa’ open, stakeholders and businesses must consider the opportunities open to them when it comes to investing in innovations and infrastructures to support new vessels.

The vast majority of South Africa’s important and exports are transported by sea, making it an industry that had weathered hard times well and one that is guaranteed to continue to perform well in the future. For businesses to be able to continue to capitalise on this success, they must think about making changes for the future during a period of relative stability for the industry.

Ports, terminals and rails are among the essentials that the SA shipping industry should be considering as ripe for innovation. To remain strong and continue to capitalise on the commence already in hand, thinking ahead of the curve and creating new infrastructure that can keep up with the demands of tomorrow is key. The country remains strategically positioned to access global trade routes and hold a prominent economic position in Africa, but these strengths could be eroded in time, as other countries and industries advance their own technological prowess.

To be able to afford to invest in the future, many shipping companies are being forced to look as ways to boost efficiency. A global economy suffering from recently recessions and financial disasters has ensured a period of stagnation when it comes to prices for freight shipping, which may be set to change in the future. However, increases in price cannot simply be passed on to customers and clients, forcing shipping innovators to instead look for ways they can boost their productivity while cutting costs.

Energy is an area that is offering many shipping businesses the opportunity to save. By moving away from costly legacy systems and taking advantage of some of the state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible generators that are currently available, they can boost efficiency and cut overheads. New and improved temperature control equipment can also offer huge savings for shipping companies that have to spend a lot of money on keeping cargo at a particular temperature. Modern, efficient solutions can cut power consumption while ensuring temperatures are perfectly regulated.

By looking at areas that are currently functioning but may not be performing to the best of their abilities, shipping companies have the opportunity to scale down their expenses and free up more money to invest in the kind of innovations that will safeguard the industry for the future. To remain profitable in the long term, it is essential to look beyond yearly bottom lines and to instead search for ways they can make long term improvements, this allows them to harness the improvements in essentials such as power generation and look forward to new infrastructure that will be able to take advantage of the advancements.

Social Impact Of The Bpo Industry

blogger /

There are some industries which have changed the face of Earth. The iron and steel industry, the clothing mills and the printing press are some of them. They have defined modern civilization as we know it. However, no single industry has got the social impact generated by the BPO sector. The effect is of greater value when you look at how it changed the social fabric and thought of some of the most conservative areas of the world. Call center units in the third world countries brought graveyard shifts in vogue. The answering service agents redefined the workplace atmosphere from somber and grave to fun and sporty. Working, while studying in a college, was suddenly the in thing.

The BPO industry has changed the spending habits of the working class. Suddenly you had this dynamic group of young call center professionals with liquid cash on their hands that they were willing to spend. Because they were willing to splurge, consumer goods and gadget manufacturers sat up and took notice. They had a steady base of customers that would buy a good product, even if it was steeply priced. Thanks to these call center services industry, other business sectors had more money coming in. These businesses began to flourish only on the strength of the money that came rolling from the employees of the business outsourcing sector.

Another impact on the social framework would be the BPO work timings. Many of these places that are now BPO hubs, used to be very resistant to changes. The workforce had no faith in business ventures that required them to work at night! With the coming of call center units, the scenario changed. Many of the answering service agents were looked down upon initially because they went out to work when the others came home. The ideas changed soon. People began to accept that this was a unique work set-up. They were more comfortable with the idea of working night shifts. Even women were game for graveyard shifts. The dangers that the odd working hours posed to health took a backseat in the minds of these driven professionals.

Consumerism continued to get fuelled by the BPO employees. They had more money on their hands than what the earlier generations could make. The young call center employees were able to buy property and lifestyle objects, things that their parents could obtain only after saving for years. The more important part was that these young call center services employees were game for the challenge. They were not in this for only money anymore. This was another perception which took a beating. Initially many thought of the business outsourcing industry as a stop-gap arrangement before they moved to mainstream professions.

The concept of mainstream changed because BPO firms were able to provide jobs to the unemployed while other reliable industries, like retail and insurance, reeled under the impact of the recession. Many believed that the call center business would take a tumble because of the recession. That didnt happen. Rather, the answering service industry climbed to greater heights with growth percentages that looked astronomical when compared with those of other sectors.

China Pharmaceutical Industry – Overview,trends,analysis,outlook And Swot

blogger /

Emerging Markets Direct (EMD) announced the release of their latest China Pharmaceutical Industry Report1H11. China Pharmaceutical market has been growing rapidly as the fourth-largest market in the world in terms of size. As one of the pharmerging markets in BRIC, the industry is expected to grow at 12.5% CAGR during 2009 2014. Backed by vast pool of talent, low-cost manufacturing capabilities, and huge market potential, it has attracted several global drug giants to outsource their R&D and invest in China.

While the market size of China Pharmaceuticals in 2009 was USD46.15billion, its overall health expenditure was among the lowest in the world comparable to that of Morocco, India or Saudi Arabia. In 2009, Chinas overall health expenditure was at USD230.7 billion, a 4.7% of total GDP. The industry is well-known for its fragmented nature with 7,664 enterprises in 2009, out of which local domestic enterprises account for 70% of industry sales.

Government policies change the landscape of pharmaceutical industry in China. A three-year health care reform was introduced in 2009 attempting to increase medical insurance coverage, upgrade grassroots medical institution and set up the basic medicine system. These gave a push to the generic pharmaceuticals with measures taken to curb over-prescription of unnecessary drugs. As a matter of fact, high-end drug distributors would be encouraged to consolidate in order to stay competitive.

Over-the-counter pharmaceuticals market is a growing segment in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry and set to double its market share by 2014. Backed by the aging population, increasing disposable income levels, and growth in the awareness of health care. Our analysts expect Over-the-counter purchases to increase along with the growth in the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. Facing the tough competition from hospitals, the market is set to diversify with vitamins, minerals and supplements leading the growth of this segment.
Generic Drugs market will boom for the next 4 years to come as expiring blockbuster drug patents cause a surge in generic drug production. Whats more, Generic segment remains attractive to foreign investments, where multinational companies merge and acquire generic drug companies to compensate for the loss of income from expiring patents. Our analysts think that generic segment will capture a larger consumer base owing to the health-care subsidy put forward by Chinese government.

How does the condition of patent law and intellectual property rights affect the industry? What are the trends and outlook of the China pharmaceutical industry?
