RNCOS in its new research report, “US Nuclear Energy Outlook”, says that the US is expected to become the world’s largest consumer of nuclear energy in future, with total consumption nearing 917 Billion KWh by 2030.
The US is adding nuclear power in its energy portfolio to enhance the security and diversity of energy supplies. As the supply of traditional energy sources is disrupted, the US has increased focus on the expansion of its nuclear industry. Nuclear energy not only represents an important hedge against volatile fossil fuel prices, but also offers prospect of low and stable running cost.
Another important factor driving growth in the US nuclear power industry is license renewals by the government. Along with the license renewal of old plants, the growth potential of the nuclear industry is reflected by upcoming reactors which are either in planning phase or under proposal. Thus, the government participation and public acceptance are likely to take the cumulative installed capacity to 7,272.73 MWe by 2013 end.
Although the prospects of the US nuclear power industry are very bright, availability of uranium will remain a big challenge for it. Over the last 20 years, no fresh investment has been made in uranium mines to raise the production. This will lead to uranium shortage with rise in the number of reactors and increasing capacity utilization of existing reactors. Besides, the nuclear power industry requires more government participation than other energy technologies.
However, despite these challenges, nuclear power will continue to represent a key segment in the US energy sector.
“US Nuclear Energy Outlook” gives comprehensive information on the increasing role of the US nuclear industry at global level. It analyzes the present status of the industry to find out investment opportunities. It discusses the current market trends, potential growth areas and gives future forecast on sub-segments of the industry. The forecast given in the report is not based on a complex model, but is intended to give a rough idea to investor about the direction in which the market is likely to move.
The report gives forecast on nuclear energy consumption share, minimum contracted uranium deliveries and uranium demand-supply gap.

In past few years, credit card market has shown remarkable developments. Banks had issued more than 27 Million credit cards at the end of FY 2008, but the number has dropped in current fiscal as the current liquidity crunch has made banks more cautious on their move regarding credit card issuance. “Banks are reviewing their credit card limits in wake of the economic slowdown and credit crunch to reduce the possible risk of defaults to its existing and potential new customers. It doesn’t mean that banks will stop issuing new cards”, says a Senior Research Analyst at RNCOS.
Our report has done thorough analysis of the possible consequences of downturn on the Indian credit card market. “One should understand the fact that the credit card spending is not going to halt, but the growth will slowdown and consumers will be more cautious on their spending” says the Analyst.

In first eight months of the FY 2009, the spending grew by more than 23% compared to the same period last fiscal, and we see double digit growth in this spending during forecasted period.

Thus, an increasing number of countries are using biometrics to identify their citizens. Besides, new anti-terrorist legislation in the US forced the government to mandate the use of biometrics in visa and passport, resulting in drastic growth of the global biometric market. Realizing the sensitivity of the issue of national security, many other governments are also following the same.
With rising use of key biometric technologies like hand geometry, iris technology and finger recognition by the government, the global biometric market is expected to witness moderate growth in coming years, said the report.

Report Foresees Bright future for Indian Juice Market
|
|
|
According to our latest research, “Indian Non-Alcoholic Drinks Forecast to 2012”, the juice market (including both fruit and vegetable) has emerged as a fastest growing segment of the Indian non-alcoholic drinks market over the recent past. Our research foresees the Indian market for fruit/vegetable juices to grow at a CAGR of around 24% (in volume terms) and around 30% (n value terms) from now till 2012.
It is learnt that convenience and natural taste together with health-consciousness has played an important role in the growth of Indian juice market in recent years. Sales have been boosted by the changing lifestyle of the Indian middle-income group amid rapid urbanization. Furthermore, it has been seen that cola sales have fallen dramatically after rising health concerns associated with it and this seem to have benefited the fruit beverage industry. Tetra packs have emerged as a boon for providing practically fresh and preservative-free juice.
We have also found that a number of Indian players have been entering or expanding their portfolio into the segment, after acknowledging the enormous future market potential. Dabur India, for instance, recently planned to expand its offering under flagship fruit drink brand 'Real'. It is also planning to add two more variants as it eyes a bigger pie of the Indian fruit-based juice market. Another player, Parle Agro, the maker of mango drink Frooti, announced its entry into the 100% juice market in late 2008. Other major brands include PepsiCo’s Tropicana and Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid.
Besides this, our report, “Indian Non-Alcoholic Drinks Forecast to 2012”, provides detailed study on various other segments of the non-alcoholic drinks market in India. For the purpose of this report, non-alcoholic drinks are classified into carbonated drinks, non-carbonated drinks and hot beverages.

3PL to Transform Logistic Industry in India
|
|
|
The increasing preference for 3PL services will transform the way logistic operations have been carried out in India till now, says RNCOS in its new research report, “3rd Party Logistics Market in India”. At present, the 3PL market is at a nascent stage of development, with multinational companies in all industries being the predominant users of these services. However, the domestic major companies in leading industrial sectors have also begun to follow the footsteps of their multinational counterparts, starting with outsourcing their basic logistics functions. The total revenue generated by 3PL players surpassed US$ 1.5 Billion in 2008 from mere US$ 890 Million in 2005.
As per the findings of our research, the present market scenario of 3PL services in India can’t be compared with that of developed markets like the US and Europe where the usage of 3PL services is more than 50% in most of the industries. But the Indian market offers immense growth opportunity as compared to developed markets due to improving infrastructure like highways, ports, bridges and increasing connectivity along with rising importance of logistic services.
We have identified the auto and IT hardware industry as the largest end-user industry for 3PL services. Other sectors that have shown substantial contribution to 3PL market and significant growth potential include FMCG, pharmaceutical and retail sectors. The market will generate revenue of close to US$ 4 Billion by 2012 and will result in more effective ways of implementing logistic operations in India.
While the share of 3PL services in India is far lesser than developed markets, when it comes to share of logistic cost as percentage of GDP, it is high in India and China ranging between 13% and 15% due to lack of infrastructure facilities and less focus on creating value through efficient handling of logistic services.
Our latest research report, “3rd Party Logistics Market in India”, gives comprehensive information about the current and past situation of 3PL services in India. The segment wise market potential of 3PL services is also provided in the report to help client to analyze the penetration level of new modern logistic services in various industries. The report also highlights the factors responsible for the increasing attractiveness of Indian 3PL market along with brief overview of the key players in the industry.
