* The report helps the reader to understand the competitive landscape of the defense industry in the UAE. It provides an overview of key defense companies, both domestic and foreign, together with insights such as key alliances, strategic initiatives, and a brief financial analysis.


Key Highlights

* The UAEs defense expenditure is primarily driven by its focus on the protection of critical infrastructure, its territorial dispute with Iran and its peacekeeping initiatives in the Gulf. In order to ensure the protection of the countrys most important infrastructures, the UAE has established the Critical National Infrastructure Authority (CNIA), which is forecast to spend approximately US$11 billion by 2021 in order to achieve this goal. In addition, the UAE fears that issues over the territorial claim on the Strait of Hormuz could lead to attacks from Iran. This fear led the country to increase its defense procurement. With limited indigenous capabilities, the UAE was actively importing fighter jets and anti-missile systems in the review period, and this procurement is expected to continue during the forecast period. Furthermore, the active participation of the country in international peacekeeping missions is also expected to drive defense expenditure during the forecast period. Since 2007, the UAE has committed its military forces to international peacekeeping missions, with a particular focus on the Middle East. The UAE has also participated in peacekeeping operations in Somalia, Lebanon and Kosovo, where it is assisting in de-mining initiatives.
* During 2007-2011, the UAEs defense imports primarily comprised aircraft, which held a share of 60% of the countrys total defense imports. Other major categories of defense imports include missiles, air defense systems, sensors and ships. In 2011, the share of aircraft in UAE defense imports increased to 61% with missiles, air defense systems, sensors and ships accounting for 36%. This was the result of the governments military modernization program, which aims to improve the countrys air defense capabilities.
* During the review period, the UAE experienced rapid development in its infrastructure in both the public and private sectors, a development that increased the countrys already significant expatriate population to 80% of the total population. An increased focus on the protection of corporate employees, combined with the UAEs commitment towards homeland security, is expected to stimulate significant growth in the market over the forecast period. Additionally, defense agencies are in the process of procuring identification and access control equipment, perimeter security, monitoring and control devices, video monitors, CCTV cameras, warning and signaling devices, personal protection devices and accessories, armored and emergency response vehicles, and checking, searching and investigation equipment, including x-ray inspection equipment. Therefore, the market opportunities in this sector are expected to attract foreign security consultants, system integrators and security equipment suppliers.

Future of the South African Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2018

This report is the result of SDIs extensive market and company research covering the South African defense industry, and provides detailed analysis of both historic and forecast defense industry values including key growth stimulators, analysis of the leading companies in the industry, and key news.


Scope

* The report provides detailed analysis of the current industry size and growth expectations from 2014 to 2018, including highlights of key growth stimulators, and also benchmarks the industry against key global markets and provides a detailed understanding of emerging opportunities in specific areas.
* The report includes trend analysis of imports and exports, together with their implications and impact on the South African defense industry.
* The report covers five forces analysis to identify various power centers in the industry and how these are expected to develop in the future.
* The report allows readers to identify possible ways to enter the market, together with detailed descriptions of how existing companies have entered the market, including key contracts, alliances, and strategic initiatives.
* The report helps the reader to understand the competitive landscape of the defense industry in South Africa It provides an overview of key defense companies, both domestic and foreign, together with insights such as key alliances, strategic initiatives, and a brief financial analysis.


Reasons to Buy:

* The African Economic Outlook data for 2009 shows corruption in South Africa to be the fourth-highest of the 53 countries in the African region. In 2009, South Africas corruption perception index (CPI), a score that is based on the degree of corruption as perceived by industry professionals and country analysts, and ranges between 10 (highly uncorrupt) and 0 (highly corrupt), is estimated at 4.7 far above the African average of 2.86. The decision made by South Africas first democratically elected government to purchase ZAR30 billion (US$3.5 billion) worth of weapons in 1999 has been the single largest, and one of the most controversial, defense procurement deals in post-apartheid South African history.
* In South Africa, the lack of transparency in arms procurement processes remains a common challenge, obstructing an informed debate on any arms trade treaty among countries and aiding corruption. Furthermore, distrust between countries often escalates, leading to the excessive and destabilizing accumulation of arms.
* Managing the weapons acquisition process is a challenge to both the political and technical systems in South Africa. The South African defense policy frameworks, written in the 1990s, have been proven unsuitable by several procurements, most notably the US$3.5 billion Strategic Defense Package of 1999, which was marred by corruption and irregularity. As a result, functions, mandates, and roles that were not envisaged at the time have been written into current defense force roles.

Obesity reaches epidemic proportions, clinical trials to curb the problem

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, acting as a major contributor to global burden of chronic diseases and disabilities. Paradoxically, the condition coexists with under-nutrition even in the developing countries with serious social and psychological dimensions and affects everyone irrespective of the age and socioeconomic group they belong to. The recent studies of the obesity clinical trials revealed the recent spurt of the condition wherein increased consumption of energy dense foods, nutrient poor foods with high concentration of sugar and saturated fats, combined with the reduced physical exercise have led to the rise of the condition.

This report: Abdominal Obesity Global Clinical Trials Review, H1, 2014 provides an overview and elemental data of the obesity clinical trials happening all around the world. It also includes an outline of the trial numbers and their recruitment status as per the site of trial conduction across the globe.


Factors contributing its growth

The profound changes in the society and behavioral patterns of communities have fuelled the growth of this condition especially in the recent decades. Even if genes play an important role in determining the susceptibility of the person to weight gain, the energy consumption and balance is attained through calorie intake and physical activities. Therefore, societal factors, worldwide nutritional transition are the major drivers for this epidemic. Moreover, the economic growth, globalization of food, urbanization of the food markets is some of the factors that underlie this epidemic. Lastly, the increase in the disposable income has led populations to opt for diets high in complex carbohydrates with varied proportions of fats, sugars and unsaturated fats which gave birth to this condition.

To curb these problems, governments and health officials are designing various effective weight management programs and weight loss clinical trials that are part of the part of an integrated, multi-sectoral, population-based approach, which further includes physical activities and healthy diets. Furthermore, healthcare institutions are mounting various healthcare programs and clinical trials in response to this epidemic and ensuring effective support for those affected to lose weight or avoid further weight gain.

Therapeutic treatment of malaria continues to flourish

Malaria is regarded as one of the most dangerous parasitic infections and remains a major cause of morbidity and death. The research for treatment of malaria has thus changed and seen a significant growth, more so over the last two decades during which time the death tolls of the disease had been noted as the highest.

This report: Malaria - Pipeline Review, H1 2014, shares comprehensive information and latest developments on the developments in therapeutic treatments for Malaria. Research indicates that the market for therapeutic drugs consists of the 2.8 billion people living in malaria endemic areas alongwith another 20-30 million people, mainly Europeans and North Americans, who travel or live in malaria prone areas.

Some of the largest markets include China, India, and Indonesia with a total of 1.9 billion people exposed; Latin America, with 119 million; and sub-Saharan Africa with 400 million. An estimated 200 million clinical cases occur each year, with around 2 million deaths annually, primarily among African children.


Market outlook

At present, the therapeutic market for malaria is dominated by chloroquine by virtue of its safety, extensive availability and low price. Approximately 20% of the total production of this drug is distributed through national control programmes and 80% through other channels; chloroquine is probably the second or third most widely consumed drug in the world as a treatment for this recurring disease. While secondary drugs containing sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine are also available in the markets, chloroquine remains the dominant player. The global market for antimalarial drugs is likely to be of the order of USD 100-120 million, with chloroquine making up about USD 64-80, sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine about USD 20 million, and other drugs making up USD 10-20 million.

Spanish construction industry to go through an economic turnaround

For a long time, the economic boom in Spain has spurred the growth of the Spanish construction industry. The growth has been considerably fuelled by Spanish culture of property ownership rather than leasing, the increased number of retired people seeking warmer climate to live in, and the increased demand for new houses due to population increase caused by an influx of immigrants, who wanted houses of their own.

The report, Construction in Spain to 2018: Market Forecast provides a detailed insight into the operating environment of the construction industry in Spain. It contains historic and forecast market value data for the construction industry, including a breakdown of the data by construction activity taking place in the country.


Real estate investments in Spain more lucrative

The real estate investments in construction industry in Spain have been more lucrative especially when compared to the stock market. Even financial institutions like banks denied to be excluded from this profitable business and are known to lend money to promoters and construction workers, financing more acquisition of land and construction. In this market, where the rise of the price of land and real estate had no end, this was an easy game to earn money. However, this price hike also saw companies in debt, sometimes ending up with owning banks billions of euros. The market would probably have suffered more than predicted, but then the American subprime crisis occurred, where developers failed to pay and stopped their construction work with the state eventually bailing them out of this crisis.


On the path towards recovery

Market research on the construction industry in Spain indicates that the market finally found respite when their major banks, Caixabank and Sabadell, both from the northern region of Catalonia, said bad loans as a percentage of total credit dropped at the end of March compared with the end of December. These two banks did not need any resources during the crisis. Therefore, after several years, Bank of Spain finally expected that GDP would grow at 0.4% in first three months of 2014.

Despite this recovery, many are still complaining that this improvement will be slow to feed through to the real economy. With multitudes, still unemployed, it still is a threat to banks and many forecast that their overall stock of loans will fall again this year as consumers and businesses try to settle their debts adversely affecting the construction sector in Spain.
