Jedes dieser Ereignisse macht deutlich, wie angreifbar der Hotelsektor im High-end-Bereich ist, und zwar nicht nur in den internationalen Terrorhochburgen, sondern quasi berall, wie sich in den Drohungen von Nachahmungst tern zeigt. Folglich hat das Thema Sicherheit in und f r Luxusresorts mittlerweile h chste Priorit t.

However, while mobile technology undoubtedly adds value to healthcare, the question is whether advances in technology pose a security threat, as information transmitted across a network should be accessible only to authorized users worldwide. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171256975 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171257030 Demand for fresh water is increasing around the world, especially in regions with rapidly growing populations and badly affected by long, drought seasons. Water is only going to become scarcer and many governments are looking at desalination and investing in this technology to supply water to their populations. These factors are driving the desalination market that shows a strong growth according to Frost & Sullivan. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171257030 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171257085 La domanda di acqua dolce e' in forte crescita a livello globale, specialmente in quelle regioni che presentano notevoli tassi di crescita della popolazione e affette da lunghi periodi di siccita'. L'acqua e' purtroppo destinata a scarseggiare sempre di piu'. E' per questa ragione che molti governi si stanno orientando verso la desalinizzazione e stanno investendo in questa tecnologia al fine di poter soddisfare una domanda sempre piu' pressante. Sono questi i fattori principali che stanno spingendo il mercato della desalinizzazione e la sua forte crescita, secondo Frost & Sullivan.

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171224548 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171226678 Das Bild der Pharmaindustrie der letzten zehn Jahre ist gepr gt durch eine Flut an Fusionen und bernahmen. Diese Entwicklung hat nun in der ersten Jahresh lfte 2009 nochmals neue Dimensionen angenommen, da die Konsolidierung durch vier Mega-Deals erheblich vorangetrieben wurde. Dass dieser j ngste Trend schnell mit der allgemeinen Wirtschaftskrise und der damit einhergehenden Kreditknappheit in Verbindung gebracht wird, liegt auf der Hand. Und doch ist dies sicherlich nicht der einzige Faktor, der hier eine Rolle spielt. Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=171226678 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170969184 New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.digitalmedia.frost.com), World Broadcast and DTT Video Encoders Market, finds that the market earned revenues of over $240 million in 2008, and estimates this to decline to nearly $160 million in 2010. The market should start recovering from that point on, although at a single-digit growth rate. Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170969184 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170888738 Based on its recent analysis of the Class 6-8 emission reduction market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc.

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170950080 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170950184 Although premature and unregulated, the lighting controls and systems market in India witnessed strong growth until recently. This was largely due to the boom in the construction sector, which saw huge investments in commercial, industrial, residential, and infrastructural construction. Growth over the next few years is likely to decelerate through 2010 due to the economic meltdown and the reduction in construction activity. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170950184 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170953342 The market for conferencing services in Europe remains a place of both opportunity and challenge with a complex picture emerging out of regional differences of legacy, new technology and media type adoption across the continent. Challenges such as decreased investment capital, the lack of seamless interoperability and a slowing trend of outsourcing conferencing services will likely be countered by a need to connect with people quickly, efficiently and on-demand, as well as the need to significantly reduce travel expenses. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170953342 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170968050 The UK defence industry remains insulated from global recession compared to other market verticals, with government defence spending fixed into long-term programmes and immune from short-term economic cycles. Unlike small low-spending countries whose defence budgets will be severely impacted, the UK will sustain spending levels over the long term. Moreover, because defence technology and product expertise have strong parallel opportunities in commercial aviation and homeland security, they are well positioned to offset decline in one segment by limiting exposure to a particular market. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170968050 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170968202 The impact of the economic downturn on the European heavy and medium commercial vehicles telematics market will be outweighed by strong market-driving factors including fleet process optimisation and cost cutting. Moreover, the replacement cycle in mature markets such as the Benelux as well as nascent demand in emerging markets like Poland, where fleet management system installed base is expected to grow at 16.5% CAGR through 2008 2015, will further promote market expansion. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170968202 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170969036 Emission regulations requiring the replacement of failed or worn out components will drive growth in the North American components aftermarket. While long lasting OE installed parts impede the growth of the aftermarket, the adoption of inspection and maintenance programs in an increasing number of states will drive unit shipments. Further, the transition toward direct-fit components from universal components expects to expedite revenue generation for the exhaust aftermarket. Brand awareness remains low in the standard exhaust components aftermarket and consumers settle for what is available at a reasonable price. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170969036 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=170873432 Growing concern over pollution and higher operating costs has forced the closure of foundries in developing countries. It is estimated that nearly 4,000 foundries have closed in Europe and the United States, and demand has shifted to countries such as India, China, and Brazil. New vehicle production is cyclical and hence demand for iron from the automotive industry varies.

In 2008, oil prices went up by as high as $100, showing the vulnerability of nonproducing countries to dependency of the imports of crude. This situation forced Latin American nonproducing countries to reorient its investments towards the renewable energies, with the purpose of diversifying its energy matrices. The situation was different for producing countries with significant amounts of 3P reserves, because high oil prices increased their investments in exploration and production (E&P) activities.
