The commercial payment card market has undergone a transformation in recent years as the associations and issuers strive to convince companies of the various benefits. Once a fairly simple market comprising travel and entertainment cards and fuel cards, the commercial payment card universe has become more complex with increased segmentation and functionality. But the lines between products have also blurred resulting in card products that combine several cards into one. Purchasing cards have emerged as the champion of commercial payments with the expectation of eventually replacing a substantial portion of paper-based procurement. The fact that commercial cards capture a mere fraction of total commercial payments highlights the potential of the opportunity at hand.

The financial crisis of 2008 that led to the economic meltdown in 2009 posed both a hurdle and an opportunity for the commercial payment card market. On the one hand, products such as small business cards suffered massive declines in purchase volume and skyrocketing charge-off rates. On the other hand, the consolidation of several major issuers and the weeding out of weaker players, combined with a new drive toward corporate cost control and efficiency, may have set the stage for a quick recovery in 2010.

This Packaged Facts report, which has been renamed from corporate credit cards, presents data and analysis on the global and U.S. market for commercial payment cards. The report presents the size and growth of the market by examining key metrics for the 2005-2009 period and providing forecasts through 2014.

As Kalorama Information’s lead diagnostic analyst finds, the point of care concept is at a crossroads: the technologies needed to make rapid testing a reality have arrived. But is healthcare ready?

Kalorama believes that the drive for wellness and the attention surrounding healthcare reform will focus attention on rapid diagnostics. However, according to Shara Rosen, RT, M.B.A., there are many challenges which must be overcome for point of care solutions to be fully utilized, and those companies willing to pivot strategies and best adjust to tomorrow’s healthcare marketplace may be rewarded.

This report, Point of Care Diagnostics 2010: Rapid Testing at a Crossroads represents the most current analysis of the role POC Diagnostics in today’s in vitro industry. Other reports have looked at products, companies and revenue numbers, as this report does. But in her analysis Shara Rosen takes a bold look into the markets, technologies, and trends in decentralized testing with a special focus on the economics of rapid test use in critical care and emergency medicine. The report includes:

• Markets for POC Diagnostics (Diabetes, Cardiac markers, Clinical Chemistry/Critical Care, Hematology, Coagulation, Drugs of Abuse/Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Infectious Diseases, Pharmacodiagnostics, Sepsis, Oncology, Women’s health / Pregnancy/Fertility)
• By Venue Revenue Estimates for Hospital POC, Physician POC and Other Venue
• Review of Products in the Market

There are many factors in the growth of POC testing- increasing numbers of diagnosed diabetics, people with cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. It is also expected to play a role in a trend in health care to evaluate provider organizations for quality in care delivery. While this quality imperative is most apparent in pay-for-performance systems, it also provides a framework by which public funds can be used more rationally. This is an especially relevant technology given the U.S. healthcare reform efforts.

All countries are feeling the brunt of aging populations and an increased burden of chronic disease management. Employers and insurance companies are interested in improving the health of customers, and there are some innovative tactics developing in this area. The report is conservative in its predictions and offers a calculated look into the future, based on events currently taking place.

The report offers a quantitative assessment of specific markets in US dollars for 2008 and forecasted out to 2013. These data are provided in order to set the status quo of tests and technologies. However the report concentrates on how these will impact the economics of healthcare over the near term and longer when possible.

Global Carbon Market is Poised for a Dramatic Growth Post 2012 under Proposed Regulations

Regulatory efforts to mitigate climate change have spawned an emerging carbon market that was valued at $10.9 billion in 2005 and grew at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 89% to reach $138.3 billion in 2009. The global carbon market doubled for two consecutive years form $31.2 billion in 2006 to $63 billion in 2007 and $126.3 billion in 2008 due to the expansion of allowance markets. The European Union (EU) Emission Trading System (ETS) experienced a robust growth during this period. However, the recession in the global economy contained the impressive growth of the global carbon market. The global carbon market registered a less than 1% increase in value in 2009. The primary reason for such market behavior was the sharp decline in carbon prices, on the back of lower oil and energy prices and a deteriorating economic outlook. The demand for carbon allowances fell sharply in late 2008 and early 2009 as the recession reduced economic output, resulting in much lower emissions than had been expected.

GBI Research predicts that the global carbon trading market will experience a dramatic growth after 2012 and reach $1.2 trillion by 2020. The EU’s initiatives to build a broad, globally linked carbon market, the prospective US Federal cap-and-trade program and the strong emergence of other regional market trading mechanisms will drive the carbon market significantly beyond 2012.
Primary Project Based Market is Losing Impetus Due to Uncertainty in Carbon Mitigation Mechanisms Post-2012

The primary market for project-based emission reductions declined considerably in the year 2009 under the weight of the economic downturn. The primary CDM transactions that accounted for the largest share of activity in the primary market, at 84% of volumes and 91% of value transacted, declined in both volume and value terms.

The primary market for project-based emission reductions weakened considerably in the second half of 2008 and 2009. The buyers became more cautious due to persisting uncertainty about the role of and the demand for CDM and JI in the post-2012 climate regime, procedural delays, delivery and issuance challenges, and credit risks amid the worsening economic climate.
Secondary Project-based Market: Instrument to Hedge Price Risk in the Primary Project Based Market

European traders, particularly financial and energy marketers dominated the secondary CER market. Traders hedge their exposure to price or volume risks in the primary markets through the secondary market. European Climate Exchange (ECX) data analysis indicates that traders predominantly opt for put options on guaranteed CERs, therefore hedging their price risk in the market.

The rise in trading in various exchanges and platforms by European financial and energy companies has led to a rise in the volume and value of the secondary CDM market. Hence, the trade value of secondary CDM has grown despite declining interests in project-based mechanisms. The volume transaction in the secondary market for CERs grew in 2009 to reach 1.2 billion CERs transacted for a value of $22.4 billion. Contrary to the exponential market growth in 2008, the growth of the secondary market for CERs was dampened in 2009. The marginal increase of 19% in volume transaction of CERs could not boost the market in value terms due to the decline of CER prices, which fell from $24.51 in 2008 to $17.53 in 2009. A market for options on CERs started to emerge in the second half of 2008, with hedging, profit-taking, raising cash and arbitrage as the main drivers of this market segment.
The US: Revitalized Interests in Carbon Commodity Market

Over the past years, the US has instituted a number of regional initiatives with the goals of implementing emissions trading programs. The size of the total allowance market in the US — the combined allowance volumes of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Chicago Climate Exchange – was 805 MtCO2e, valued at $2.5 billion in 2009. The US federal cap-and-trade mechanism has been expected for a long time and the implementation of the scheme will boost the North American and world carbon trading markets.

Rising investments and efforts in energy efficiency programs and renewable energy programs driving carbon trading volumes in regional markets. The RGGI states in the US – Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont – have been participating in numerous clean energy projects and initiatives. RGGI states have invested in renewable energy sources and energy efficiency projects to decrease their carbon footprints. These states have created employment opportunities and generated lower electricity bill values due to their low-carbon investments. These states are investing in green building programs and are conducting workshops and training programs to improve awareness on energy efficiency measures. The clean energy initiatives have therefore boosted carbon trade in the region and the trading of carbon permits.
Hurdles in Implementation of the US Cap-and-Trade Would Affect the Dynamics of the Global Carbon Market

The US government faces hurdles in the enforcement of cap-and-trade program for GHG emissions. One of the major setbacks for the US cap-and-trade was the failure of the Copenhagen Accord to impose mandatory emission reduction targets. China, one of the largest GHG emitters, is not legally bound by the emission reduction targets and hence the existing government faces a tough challenge in the implementation of initiatives for low-carbon economy. Worldwide potential investors and eco-friendly firms are awaiting the implementation of the US cap-and-trade program as it has immense potential, and further delays in the launch of the cap-and-trade program will hinder the investments in clean energy. Prolonged delays can decelerate investments in energy efficiency and alternate energy projects. Additionally, it could lead to the postponement of the emission trading market in Canada and other carbon policy frameworks worldwide.
Sale of Recycled Carbon Credits Will Hinder Growth of the EU ETS

The EU countries are considering the sale of surrendered credits and these surrendered credits would influence the credibility of the EU ETS market. In March 2010, Hungary announced that it will sell 2 million metric tons of United Nations (UN) credits for $21m. These credits reenter the market and might be mistaken for compliance grade credits. The entry of these credits into the market would lead to lack of transparency and increase the risk of transactions. UN Certified Emission Reduction credits are on the ones generated by emission reduction projects in emerging nations and these credits can be used for compliance with GHG emission reduction targets or they can be used by power generation companies as an alternative to EU permits by governments. Hence, the Eastern European countries are using the surrendered credits in the trading markets. The International Emission Trading Association (IETA) has brought in certain initiatives to counter the resale of surrendered credits. The IETA mandates that credits surrendered to the EU registry Scannot be deployed for compliance or for carbon trading systems. The European Commission (EC) and the IETA are working together to reduce the risk of surrendered transactions and therefore improve the transparency in those transactions. There are other challenges pertaining to surrendered allowances, such as that the credits can also be sold to markets outside the EU and there is no international authority to monitor these transactions beyond the EU ETS currently.
Success in Carbon-Constrained Economy: Capture Opportunity rather than just Avoiding the Risks

Carbon substantiality is no longer compliance or a branding issue; it is now a core business issue. Global business houses and corporate across all verticals are of the view that there is a need to make carbon sustainability truly viable by practicing it in economically sustainable manner. Over the past few years, the carbon management landscape for companies has witnessed a dramatic change. The efforts to reduce carbon emissions have risen multifold and strategies to mitigate impact of climate change have reached new dimensions. Today, companies are striving to transform their compliance challenges to competitive advantage. Companies are generating business value by managing the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.

Carbon management is increasingly becoming main-stream business function due to higher awareness of the business value associated with a broader approach to carbon management. Companies are focused on generating revenue from their in-house climate change solutions and initiatives; moreover firms are identifying carbon reduction opportunities across the supply chain. Large businesses have started sharing information on their carbon performance and climate risks and opportunities with investors and other stakeholders.

GBI Research predicts that the currently climate policy and corporate carbon exposure are likely to decrease profits for corporate. Eventually, in the long run, major cost of compliance will be passed on to the consumers. Hence, early movers on climate change are likely to gain and likely to stay ahead of regulatory compliance curve. The negative carbon exposure will be in the form of compliance obligations, and this would increase the energy costs and raw material costs. Additionally, an excess cost would be incurred on implementing new technologies. Carbon trading and development of new markets may provide a silver-lining to the situation.

The success of any business in the carbon constrained economy hinges upon the ability to not only manage these risks but to also transform them into opportunities for future growth.

Nanophotonics to Revolutionalize the Market (http://www.visionshopsters.com/product/1114/Nanophotonics-Advanced-Technologies-and-Global-Market-2009-2014-.html)

Nanophotonics is born out of the combination of three major sciences: photonics, nanotechnology, and optoelectronics. While photonics and optoelectronics have revolutionized the electronics and semiconductors market, nanotechnology has the greatest potential for further improvement, and hence has emerged as the most sought-after technology by big companies and research laboratories. In spite of it being in the nascent stage, nanophotonics is expected to make it to the mainstream market owing to its higher power efficiency, thermal resistivity, and operational life.

The nanophotonic component market is growing at a robust rate for the last few years and is expected to maintain a very high CAGR for the next few years. The market is expected to reach US$3.6 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of 100.7% from 2009 to 2014 and a similar growth pattern can be expected for the nanophotonics devices market as well. This market is expected to grow from a current market size of US$1.8 billion to US$58 billion in 2014.

Though most of the nanophotonic products are still under research, the available products such as nanophotonic LEDs, nanophotonic PV cells, nanophotonic OLEDs have been very successful in the market. Nanophotonic LEDs has the largest market share of US$106 million in 2009. However, considering the pace of progress in various other segments like near-field-optics, optical amplifiers, optical switches and holographic memory, it can be safely ascertained that holographic memory and optical switches are expected to have the highest growth rate in the next five years. Nanophotonic LEDs will still continue to be largest segment albeit with a slow growth rate.

In the nanophotonic LED market, the high beam LED has the highest market share followed by UV LED. In the fastest growing market of optical amplifiers, it is the optical fiber amplifier that commands the highest CAGR in the period 2009 to 2014 followed by semiconductor amplifiers. HDSS is also expected to grow with a CAGR comparable to that of optical amplifiers. OLED is estimated to be the slowest growing market. Lowering production costs and improving operational efficiencies would ensure opening of new opportunities for the nanophotonics market.

The market is very concentrated with only the market leaders like Osram, IBM, Samsung SDI, JDSU, etc doing extensive research in nanophotonics but as most of the application areas are related to electronics, this market is expected to attract a large number of players that would in turn increase the degree of competition.

Growth of Nanophotonic Products from 2009 – 2014

The graph indicates the forecasted growth rate of nanophotonics products from the year 2009 to 2014. The optical amplifiers are expected to grow at the maximum growth rate followed by the HDSS devices. The growth in the nanophotonics market is primarily due to the increasing demand from the Asian countries.

The key players in the nanophotonics component market are working at developing new products by forging strategic alliances with renowned universities, research laboratories and nanomaterial companies. These developments are focused on improving the operational parameters for the nanophotonic devices and grab the early mover’s advantages in the market.

Our patent analysis indicates that the U.S. has filed the highest number of patent applications in nanophotonics since 2006 followed by Europe. In the products category, nanophotonic LED accounts for the highest number of patents followed by nanostructures while OLED accounts for the lowest number.
