Introduction

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), at the end of 2008 the world’s total offshore crude oil reserves was 238bn barrels (approximately 18% of the total oil reserves), of which
deepwater oil reserves constituted 25bn barrels. Oil and gas production from deepwater fields started around 1995 and accelerated from 2000, as increasing oil prices made expensive offshore projects viable.

Features and benefits

* Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global deepwater oil and gas industry including the drivers and resistors of deepwater operations.
* Assess the impact of the Deepwater
Horizon accident on BP, deepwater
operators, oil-field services companies and governments.
* Predict the implications of the response of
the US government on the deepwater oil
and gas industry in the US Gulf of Mexico and globally.
* Analyze the potential impact on
deepwater operators due to possible
changes in operational and regulatory
landscapes.
* Quantify global deepwater oil production
capacity, global deepwater oil and gas
exploration wells, and global and US Gulf of Mexico deepwater oil.

Although the global capacity remains small, the potential is enormous and solar power is expected to contribute significantly to electricity production by the middle of the century.

Solar thermal power generation depends on both a high solar intensity and a large amount of direct incident radiation not scattered by clouds. The best sites are generally in arid, desert regions with high annual sunshine levels. Most of these sites are found between 15º and 40º of latitude either side of the equator.

Scope of this research

• Realize up-to-date competitive intelligence through a comprehensive review of concentrating solar power technologies concepts in power generation.
• Assess the emerging trends in csp technologies – parabolic troughs, solar towers, parabolic dishs, Fresnel reflectors and energy storage.
• Identify which key trends will offer the greatest growth potential and learn which technology trends are likely to have greater market impact.
• Compare how manufacturers are developing new concentrating solar power technologies.
• Quantify costs of csp technologies, with comparisons against other forms of power generation technology, installation costs, cost of electricity.

Research and analysis highlights

While the recent growth in output is promising, solar thermal power plants still provide only a tiny fraction of global power consumption. Total global electricity production in 2008 was 20,169,000GWh. Of this renewable production (mostly from hydropower) accounted for 18.7% and the solar thermal contribution was 0.005%.

The average energy density reaching the earth’s surface is about 170W/m3 and the greatest, in the region of the Red Sea, is close to 300W/m3.

Across the region encompassing Africa, southern Europe and Asia, there is potential to generate 7,350TWh/y while the Pacific region could provide a further 2,300TWh/y.

Key reasons to purchase this research

• What are the drivers shaping and influencing concentrating solar power technology development in the electricity industry?
• What does concentrating solar power generation cost? What will it cost in the future?
• Which concentrating solar power technology types will be the winners and which the losers in terms of power generated, cost and viability?

Real world utility’ for consumer use of the Internet today and in the near- to mid-term future will continue to change dramatically, destroying existing business models and creating new opportunities as it develops.

This report aims to highlight the opportunities and threats inherent for stakeholders in the development of consumer use of the Internet over the period 2010-2020, with particular emphasis, and quantification of revenue opportunities, on the next 5 years. It provides unique data and analysis showing how consumer Internet revenues will be segmented by region, type of stakeholder, and category.

Scope of this research

• Access unique and quantified data and analysis of direct consumer Internet revenues over the period 2005-2020.
• Examine how consumer Internet revenues will be divided by region, stakeholder and category.
• Understand why dominance of the consumer Internet will shift eastwards towards Asia, and what the implications of this shift will be for stakeholders.
• Understand how state and corporate interests will move the Internet away from the concept of neutrality.
• Analyze the competitive responses of key players throughout the consumer Internet value chain to the coming opportunities and challenges.

Research and analysis highlights

Direct consumer Internet revenues are sustaining high double digit rates of growth, and are forecast to reach $1 trillion globally by 2020. The Asia Pacific region will overtake both North America and Western Europe to account for 35% of total spending by 2015 and will continue to drive and dominate total revenues.

The ubiquity of Mobile Internet access devices is increasing dramatically, while the ability to access and use the Internet over mobile devices is also contributing to the globalization of Internet use. Revenues from touchscreen mobile phone device sales will grow from $361m in 2010 to $1.6bn in 2020.

The shifting dynamics of the consumer Internet represent a great threat as well as opportunity to stakeholders. Dominant incumbents are in the most testing positions, since the dynamics of the future – moves to mobility, towards Asia and to greater operator power – mitigate against their established revenue base.

Key reasons to purchase this research

Big Pharma has begun investing in regenerative medicine: Genzyme in 2008, Pfizer and Novartis in 2009, and Cephalon in 2010. In 3-5 years, investment will reach a “tipping point”, after which no medical industry players will want to be left behind.

This report covers the development of therapies to replace human cells or promote their regeneration: including cell therapies, tissue engineering, drugs, and medical devices. Each company profiled has at least one project in preclinical or Phase I study. Many also have later stage or launched products, which are covered briefly to illustrate the potential of the next generation of candidates.

Scope of this research

• Understand the concepts behind regenerative medicine, its potential applications, and advantages over traditional medicine.
• Compare the opportunities and challenges presented by the different therapeutic modalities.
• Understand the hurdles that must be overcome by regenerative medicine candidates before they can successfully enter the market.
• Identify emerging technologies that will shape the regenerative medicine industry in the coming years.
• Identify companies that may be competitors for a market, or alternatively potential partners or investment opportunities.

Research and analysis highlights

The first regenerative cell therapies to generate significant market value (within the next five years) will be based on allogeneic adult cells, and will target tissues that are naturally sheltered from patients’ immune systems.

Autologous cells are not rejected by the patient’s immune system, so are potentially safer than allogeneic cells and more suitable for permanent tissue replacement. “High tech” therapies based on reprogrammed autologous cells (e.g. induced pluripotent stem cells) may still be 20 years from market.

Tissue engineering still faces technical hurdles, including vascularization of grafted tissue and safe breakdown of scaffold materials. Research and regulatory efforts must be coordinated internationally to develop a stronger “evidence base” for regenerative medicine that is accessible and acceptable to all stakeholders.

Key reasons to purchase this research

• What is regenerative medicine and why are so many companies and investors excited about it?
• Which companies are currently developing new regenerative treatments and what approaches are they pursuing?
• What partnerships have been formed to develop new therapies, and where are the opportunities for further deals?
• What will the next generation of regenerative medicine candidates look like, and which indications will they treat?
• What hurdles do these candidates face en route to the marketplace?
