According to the report “Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013”, the generic drugs market in Japan shows immense potential as Japan is amongst the youngest generic markets in the world both in terms of value and volume. But with a number of factors operating in it, the market is expected to grow robustly in the next five years.
The report states that a number of factors will drive the market in future; this includes the generic-friendly nature of the Japanese government which is desperate to cut its surging healthcare costs, patent expiration of a number of blockbuster drugs, wide scale promotion and awareness campaigns of generics, and increasing investment by both domestic and international manufacturers in Japan.
The Japanese generic drugs market grew at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2003-2008, reaching ¥ 333 Billion (US$ 3.5 Billion). The growth rate is slower than the US and some European markets which till recently had been growing at double-digit rates. This is because despite being a young market, the awareness of generics in Japan is comparatively low and generics are still largely perceived as cheaper, low quality alternatives to patented drugs. The nationwide promotion and awareness campaign regarding the safety and efficacy of generics however is expected to change their perception and usage in future.
Our forecast models suggest that the generic drugs market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 9% from 2008 to 2013 to make up for 8% of the pharmaceutical market in terms of sales value and 29% in terms of the sales volume.
“Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013” gives extensive and objective analysis on the generic market in Japan. The report investigates both the past and present trends in the market, but its focus is on the future trends shaping the industry. The report also investigates the performance of various players in Japan’s pharmaceutical and generic markets, and analyzes the competitive landscape of the market.
Based on the various present and future indicators, the future scenario of the market has also been analyzed. The report thus gives valuable information to manufacturers/investors preparing to enter the Japanese generic market.

Population Boom Bucking Up Saudi Arabian Healthcare Sector
|
|
|
Saudi Arab is amongst the world’s fastest growing healthcare markets, and the biggest factor spurring this growth is the rapidly expanding population of the country, according to “Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012”, a new research report by RNCOS.
The report finds that despite healthy investment in new bed installations, the rate of population growth has significantly outpaced the rate of bed growth from early 1990s to 2008, leading to a fall in the bed to population ratio from 2.55 beds per thousand population to the present 2.36 beds per thousand population.
Currently, the country is witnessing maximum growth in the population segment at or above 65 years of age. The report forecasts this population segment to expand by 15% between 2008 and 2012, outpacing the 10% increase in the total population. With increasing aging population, the prevalence of a number of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular and dementia will grow exponentially in future. This will significantly push the demand for hospital services, pharmaceuticals and medical devices in future.
Apart from the shortage of beds, the fast expanding population will also create a shortage of healthcare professionals in the country. Most of the healthcare professionals in the country are foreign nationals with high turnover rates. As a result, the government has taken a number of steps to improve its medical education infrastructure. However, the number of medical graduates passing out in the foreseeable future is not likely to match the demand emerging from the ever-increasing population. This will open up big opportunities for the education services market in Saudi Arab.
“Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012” gives an extensive and objective analysis on the Saudi Arab healthcare market. It has segmented the healthcare industry under the heads hospital services, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Analysis as well as statistics on these segments regarding the market size, demand, supply, segmentation and key players has been given in this report.
An analysis on the future directions, supplemented with both facts and figures has also been done by the report. Thus, the research study serves as a useful guide for healthcare companies, government officials, consultants and investors who are planning to foray into the Saudi Arab healthcare market.

Hair Myths Revealed here
|
|
|
There are so many different beliefs and viewpoints on hair care and styling that sometimes you can get confused as to which of these are actually true. It even happens sometimes that you get devastated when you discover that the method you have been practicing almost your entire life is a myth.
To avoid this from happening, it is essential that you know some of the common misconceptions or myths about hair so that you do not make the mistake of believing or practicing them. Listed below are some of them.
Myth # 1 - You need to wash your hair daily.
Just like the need to take a bath every day, it sounds sensible to wash your hair daily too. However, you have to know that the latter is not necessary. In fact, doing so can only strip it of the essential oils needed to maintain its healthy gloss and sheen. Even if you plan to use a mild shampoo, it would still be better if you give your tresses a break from shampoo within the week.
Myth # 2 - Shaving your hair can alter its texture.
This is a belief that has long been held by parents who make the mistake of thinking that shaving their baby's scalp will result in a change in hair texture. This is not true. It will remain the same texture even if you go bald. This means that if you detest your frizzy hair, shaving your head is not necessarily the solution because it will not magically grow healthy and shiny afterwards.
Myth # 3 - Constant use of hair equipment can damage it.
This belief actually depends on what kind of equipment you are using. For instance, if you are using FHI irons, then you really have nothing to worry about even if you practically iron your hair thrice a week. However, if you are using cheap generic irons that make use of PTC heaters, which are not capable of sustaining consistent heat, then you will be in a lot of trouble.
Remember, high quality irons and other equipment are equipped with a technology that will not be harmful to your hair. FHI irons, for example, has an adjustable heat setting that allows you to set the temperature ideal for your hair type and texture. Moreover, it emits negative ions that contribute to a healthy glow in your locks.
Myth # 4 - Applying lemon juice on it will lighten your blonde hair.
Lemon juice as a natural lightener is not only ineffective; it is also a waste of time. If you want to lighten your blonde hair, the best way to do it is to go to a salon, consult a professional stylist and find out what kind of coloring treatment will be suitable for you.
Myth # 5 - There is nothing wrong with using hair products that are not ideal for its type.
Many people make the mistake of thinking that using products ideal for another person's hair type is all right. But the truth is, this can contribute to unhealthy hair or worsen a problem if you have one. For example, if you have oily hair, and you used a shampoo for a dry one , a result of this will be greasier hair.
Knowing the difference between a fact and a myth when it comes to hair care and styling will help you go a long way in ensuring that yours is well taken care of.

Healthy Hair Tips

If you've been using harsh chemicals on your hair and scalp and find your hair thinning or falling out or you're plagued by dandruff, you may be looking for a better way to go. Many people are discovering the benefits of coconut oil. It's natural, healthy and inexpensive too. And I'll explain in this article how to use coconut oil on your hair.
If you're looking for healthy ways to get soft, silky hair and inexpensively too, then you may want to think about using coconut oil on your hair. If you've ever seen pictures of the women from the Polynesian Islands, they have long silky hair. They eat a lot of coconuts too but also apply coconut oil to their hair.
Once you start using coconut oil or coconut butter as some people call it, you'll no doubt want to get rid of all the expensive conditioners and creams and mousses you're using for your hair. Coconut oil will give your hair a lot of body, protect it and lessen breakage of your hair, so you should have less thinning. Of course, many hair stylists who know about it want to keep this secret for themselves. But the word is slowly getting out.
You'll stop buying expensive creams and conditioners and going for salon hair treatments once you realize you can get a gallon for the cost of one small jar of salon hair conditioner.
To use coconut oil as a hair conditioner, you can warm it a little and massage it into your hair at bedtime. You can hold some in your hands for a few moments if you don't have time to heat it. It should melt fast. Use about two teaspoons or so. You won't need a lot. The first time you do it, just use a little to experiment and do it on a night when you'll be home in the morning. Colored or bleached hair may be more porous so keep this in mind.
In the morning wash it out. I like to use organic virgin coconut oil which is the best quality. When you buy coconut oil online or in a whole foods store, make sure it hasn't been refined, bleached and deodorized. You want the unrefined kind. One way to tell is it smells like coconut.
For a salon-type treatment you can apply coconut oil, put on a shower cap, and then wash it out after an hour so. If you have a dandruff problem apply one to two teaspoons to your scalp and gently massage it in. Your shampoo may be causing your dandruff so you may want to find a shampoo with fewer chemicals.
You can also use coconut oil for a shampoo but only use a little bit and mix with your regular shampoo in the palm of your hand. You can also put a tiny bit on your hair using your fingertips after you style it.
This should give you a good idea how to use coconut oil on your hair as a hair conditioner or a shampoo. You'll save a lot of money and have the healthiest, silkiest shiniest hair you can imagine. It will look thicker too because you will be losing less hair. Of course there are other ways you can use it too, and this is just one way.
