(Guangzhou City, China, Oct. 5) International Pearl Exposition and Auction has recently been held in Guangzhou, China. Merchants and bidders, both at home and abroad, were deeply impressed by the rare and valuable pearls from all over the world. However, it’s hard to find the well-known domestic Zhejiang Pearls among the glittering jewels.
With the fame as the "No. 1 global bidding", International Pearl Exposition and Auction is held two or three times every year. This year, we had the honor to hold the exposition and auction in Guangzhou. It should have been a very good opportunity for the local sellers to display their pearls without traveling abroad. Nevertheless, some 40 local buyers came just to bid with those of the same trade.
"Most of the displayed pearls are from oversea producer." Said Mark Wu from Topearl Jewelry Inc., "China leads the world in production of saltwater akoya pearls, freshwater pearls also account for 90 percent of the world’s output. But we had very few qualified entries." This is nothing new but a reflection of the current situation of the international pearl market. Since medium and low grade pearls are in the majority in China, we only hold 10 percent of trading volume in the world’s pearl market. Each year, China mainly exported low-valued un-finished pearl beads and strands, not high added-value pearl jewelry such as pearl necklace, bracelet and pearl earrings etc. The absence of Zhejiang Pearls simply reflected our embarrassment among the general Chinese pearl industry.
How to upgrade Chinese Pearls including Zhejiang Pearls becomes our main concern. China has good weather and temperature for the pearl cultivation. Based on these good natural conditions, our pearls have good quality themselves. Therefore, low added value is the root of the problem. Compared with the international technology, we still have a long way to go in pearl processing and treatment, such as bleaching, polishing and design.
Although we fall a little behind, we see a very good chance to increase the value of our pearls. Union of Asian Jewelry has already been founded in Guangzhou. And from now on, the International Pearl Exposition and Auction will be held in Guangzhou every year. Jiangsu and Zhejiang, China’s bases of freshwater pearls and pearl jewelry, will have own platform for pearl exhibits.http://ww.topearl.com/ |

RNCOS Releases a New Report- Saudi Arabia Insurance Market to 2012
|
|
|
RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, “Saudi Arabia Insurance Market to 2012” to its report gallery. The Saudi Arabian insurance market is poised for tremendous growth in the coming times. The government’s initiatives on compulsory healthcare and motor insurance are expected to propel the insurance market in the future despite the economic slowdown. Saudi Arabia’s insurance penetration level as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at below 1% is the lowest in the world. However, a regulated environment built around the concept of the Islamically acceptable principle of cooperative insurance will lead to increased awareness among the people of Saudi Arabia and convince them of the benefits of insuring risk.
The kingdom’s insurance sector underwent liberalization even more rapidly than the banking sector, with 13 new insurance firms licensed in 2006 and thereby, ending the monopoly of the National Company for Co-operative Insurance. This followed the new insurance law passed in 2003. Previously, many local insurance firms used unlicensed brokers who placed much of their business outside the kingdom. Most of the new firms are joint ventures with foreign companies, which will bring new inflows of foreign direct investment into the economy. As in the banking sector, foreign firms can own up to 60% of locally-based insurance companies.
“Saudi Arabia Insurance Market to 2012” provides extensive research and rational analysis of the insurance industry in Saudi Arabia. The report thoroughly examines the current industry trends which are adding to the growth of the Saudi Arabian insurance industry. The report also gives future outlook considering the possible impacts of recession on the industry.
The report provides four-year industry forecast (2009-2012) on:
- Total Insurance
- Health Insurance
- Protection & Savings Insurance
- General Insurance
- Motor Insurance
- Property/Fire Insurance
- Marine Insurance
- Engineering Insurance

The global consumer electronics industry is set to witness phenomenal growth in the near future after the moderation of tough economic conditions. The prospective growth in the consumer electronics industry could be attributed to the revolutionary technological developments. The digital technology revolution has enabled the industry to make profit from the growing interaction of digital applications, such as camcorders, DVD player/recorder, digital camera, etc. With these technological advancement, the global consumer electronics industry generated revenue of around US$ 694 Billion in 2008.
Our new research report “Global Consumer Electronics Market Forecast to 2013” has predicted that the global consumer electronics industry will grow at a CAGR of around 5% during 2010–2013. During this time period, we expect that 3D TV will experience the highest CAGR of around 118% because manufacturers begin to implement 3D as a standard feature in their HD flat-panel product lines.

For instance - India is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 19% during 2010-2013.
We also expect the continuous development of digital technologies will add new features and improve quality of electronic devices. Moreover, the connectivity and mobility also play a vital role in accelerating the industry growth rate as younger generation is fascinated by such features.

Booming Global Obesity Drug Market
|
|
|
“Booming Global Obesity Drug Market”, our latest research on the obesity market, states that the prevalence of obesity is increasing globally at alarming rates. Obesity drugs market has shown a radical growth in recent times but in contrast, the market for weight loss drugs has failed to match this growth. By 2012, it’s expected that more than two billion people will be overweight and 600 Million will be obese, representing immense opportunities for both the markets.
The market for weight loss drugs is characterized by numerous failures. A number of drugs have failed to get approval, some have been recalled, and those that have entered the market either suffer from serious side effects or have just failed to give the desired weight loss results consumers expected from them. Refusal of healthcare authorities to grant reimbursement to these drugs has also impeded the growth. One of the most recent examples can be taken from Sanofi’s Acomplia; the drug was hailed as multibillion blockbuster before it was launched. But Acomplia, like most of its predecessors, failed to have a sufficient benefit to risk ratio and was taken off the market just two and a half years after its launch.
The future of the obesity drugs market, however, may not be so gloomy. This is because the market has high unmet demand, and any drug that manages to provide a high benefit to risk ratio can easily achieve blockbuster status. Moreover, despite some of its recent failures, the obesity drugs pipeline is rich and a large number of drugs are in phase-III and late phase-II trials. If some of these drugs manage to reach the market and posses a strong efficacy and safety profile, they can quickly become billion-dollar blockbusters.
Country-wise, the US is presently the biggest market for weight loss drugs with around 68% of its population either overweight or obese. The US is followed by the UK and other European countries. In future, emerging economies such as China, Russia, India and Brazil are also expected to become a huge market for weight loss products. With China’s obesity and overweight levels touching 665-670 Million in 2015, the country will emerge as the most potential weight loss market.
Our report gives an extensive and objective analysis on the global market for obesity drugs. It identifies the past and current performance of the market, and outlines the future trends shaping the industry. It comprehensively assesses the performance of drugs, both in the market and in developing stage. Based on various present and future indicators, the report evaluates future outlook and performance of key products in the industry. The research can thus give valuable information to manufacturers/investors planning to foray into the obesity drugs market.
