The first is emphasis on consumption-driven growth - the budget seeks to encourage consumption by raising consumer's disposable income. The second is the policy on inclusive growth, keeping in line with the allocations that have been made to welfare schemes. The third key issue is the attempt to address farmer's woes. Of these three factors, proposals aiming to increase the consumption expenditure of consumers and the betterment of the farming community have a direct and indirect impact on the automotive sector. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129432737 Thu, 8 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129432737 Market Insight Budget 2008: Electrifying Impact on the Automation and Electronics Industry Finance Minister Mr. P.

In the Third Quarter Review of Annual Statement on Monetary Policy for 2007-2008 in January 2008, domestic factors rather than global situations dominated policy stance with the rationale to continue with the stance most relevant for the domestic economy instead of hastily locking into a particular anticipated global scenario. The Credit Policy of 2008, announced on 29th April 2008, looks more squarely at the global scenario of hardened inflationary pressures and difficult financial markets. It presents a stronger remedy to the inflation problem for various reasons. Pressure from international oil prices at $112 per barrel is very high and second-order effects of oil with pass-through of international oil prices are only now being felt. The global food shortage and the lack of domestic food grain production and the global contagion effect on prices is crying out for attention. Not to mention the uncertainties in the domestic stock markets as well as the mounting political pressure in an election year to tackle the inflation beast which for the week ended April 12, 2008, singed at 7.33 percent. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129034140 Fri, 2 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=129034140 Market Insight Automotive Sensors - Sensory Organs Automotive sensors are the equivalent of the sensory organs of human beings.

The Brazilian automotive engineering has a long standing tradition, it exists for over 50 years and the country unveils its 3rd generation of automotive engineers. Its competence was built by vehicle producers which over the 50s and 80s locally manufactured cars, long gone from their production plans in Europe and the U.S and required several adaptations for the local market. It is the case of GM's Opala model. The specific conditions of Brazil drove the need to search for unique solutions and created spaces for local development activities. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127369340 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127369340 Market Insight Asia - Emerging Center of Semiconductor Universe The center of the semiconductor industry is shifting from the United States to Asia (excluding Taiwan and Japan), to China and Rest-of-Asia (Southeast Asia and India).

This study called The Cost of Pushing Pills: A New Estimate of Pharmaceutical Promotion Expenditures in the United States was published in the January 3, 2008 issue of PLoS Medicine. It analyzed data collected from two sources and concluded that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spent 24.4 percent of the money earned in sales on promotion and only 13.4 percent for research and development. This study authored by PhD candidate Marc-Andre Gagnon and Dr. Joel Lexchin, examined data collected from 2004 reports from IMS Health and CAM Group. From these, they were able to get sales and marketing data for the pharmaceutical industry. It was noted by the authors that the numbers from IMS Health and CAM Group did not agree. This was attributed to the different sources of information for both sources as IMS Health gets its information directly from the Pharmaceutical companies while CAM Group gets their information from doctors. According to CAM Group, $33.5 billion was spent by the pharmaceutical industry for total promotion spending compared to the $27.7 billion reported by IMS Health. The authors combined select information obtained from both sources and deduced that the total promotion spending in 2004 was $57.5 billion. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127102083 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127102083 Market Insight Proposed Bill Could Pave the Way for the Approval of Biogenerics On March 13, 2008, a new bill was introduced into the House that would create a way for the FDA approval of biogenerics. H.R. 5629 is a bipartisan bill called the Pathways for Biosimilars Act. This bill was introduced by Representatives Anna Eshoo (Democrat, California) and Joe Barton (Republican, Texas). This bill provides a way for biosimilars to be approved by referencing an approved biological product. As part of the application process, the applicant must submit results from studies that show that their biological product is in fact highly similar to the referenced approved product. Not only does this bill offer a pathway for the approval of biosimilars, but it also provides for 12 years of exclusivity to the first product licensed (reference product). In addition, this exclusivity can be extended to two years for medically significant new indications and for an additional six months for approvals in the pediatric population. For conventional medications there are standards in place for the approval of generic compounds, mainly the Hatch-Waxman act. However for biologics there are no set regulatory standards. In addition, biologics are approved following the filing of a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) as opposed to a New Drugs Application (NDA). This puts monoclonal antibodies under the Public Health Services Act which makes them ineligible for approval under the Hatch-Waxman act. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127102252 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/market-insight-top.pag?Src=RSS&docid=127102252 Market Engineering Research Service U.S. Fiber-based Broadcast Video Transport Services Markets This research service focuses on the demand for fiber-based video transport services as consumed by broadcasters, television channels, production houses and other related markets in the U.S. media and entertainment industry.
