Beer Wholesaling in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

July 27, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 09, 2012

While other wholesalers face the threat of bypass or competition from suppliers that vertically integrate, three-tier distribution laws that require separation between manufacturers and retailers insulate beer distributors. After Prohibition, most states implemented laws that require three distinct levels within the supply chain: producer, wholesaler and retailer. As a result, beer wholesalers have a protected role, and their revenue remains relatively stable through good times and bad, according to IBISWorld industry analyst Agata Kaczanowska. As a middleman serving the Breweries industry (IBISWorld report 31212), the Beer Wholesaling industry is in the mature stage of its life cycle, with a relatively steady profit of about 16.1%.

Role security does not mean that the Beer Wholesaling industry has conducted business as usual since 2007. Changing tides from upstream and downstream industries have reshaped the wholesaling landscape, Kaczanowska says. Beer production has changed rapidly, with more than four-fifths of its market share consolidated into just two companies (AB InBev and MillerCoors), and craft brewery popularity is growing. Meanwhile, changing consumer preferences have created other difficulties for wholesalers. Average consumption stagnated as Americans flocked to wines and cocktails during times of prosperity and shifted spending to cheaper brands during the recession. A recovery in 2012 is expected to stimulate a 0.3% revenue increase, and a combination of the above factors has caused revenue to decline at an average annual rate of 0.5% to $ 57.8 billion over the five years to 2012.

Slowly increasing consumer spending will help the Beer Wholesaling industry’s revenue to gain some momentum during the next five years. IBISWorld projects that revenue will grow during the five years to 2017. Once consumer spending rebounds, prices are expected to increase, facilitating revenue growth. Meanwhile, volumes will remain stagnant as strong demand for regional or microbrews cuts into mainstream sales. Revenue growth and a decline in firm numbers means that surviving firms will be larger and average company earnings will increase. Despite consolidation in this industry, the average industry profit margin is expected to stay steady as producers and retailers continue to squeeze the middleman’s margins.

Wet Paint: Nail Polish Manufacturing Industry Market Research Report in the US Now Available from IBISWorld

July 06, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

The Nail Polish Manufacturing industry has remained resilient over the past five years, despite the economic downturn. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Nikoleta Panteva, ?Like many other cosmetic products, nail polish provides a small sense of indulgence during times of declining disposable income and tighter purse strings. The low price point for nail polishes has allowed consumers to treat themselves while sticking to their budget.? This trend has helped buoy other cosmetics during the recession as well. These trends are forecast to continue over the next five years.

Despite the resilience of the industry over the past five years, 2012 is expected to be difficult year for the industry. In April 2012, California?s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) found that 80.0% of salon nail polishes tested contain toxic chemicals. Even nail polishes listed as non-toxic were found to contain the trio of chemicals that could lead to birth defects, asthma and other health conditions. According to Panteva, ?consumer demand is expected to weaken as a result of these findings, as salon-goers choose not to risk health complications in salons.? IBISWorld expects Nail Polish Manufacturing industry revenue to suffer during the year as a result.

The DTSC?s findings and the subsequent lowered demand are expected to drive nail polish manufacturers to reformulate their products. The increasing focus on natural and nontoxic products will continue to drive product innovation over the five years to 2017. Other superficial innovations, such as gels, nail pens and crackle topcoats, have stimulated demand over the past few years and are expected to continue to do so. Similarly, fashion trends like seasonal colors will continue to drive sales over the long term.

Overall, the outlook for the industry, and key players such as Revlon, OPI and Cosmetic Industries, is positive. Professional products are expected to continue making their way into consumer-facing retail outlets, such as drugstores and beauty supply stores, which will stimulate sales. One key challenge for US nail polish manufacturers in the outlook period may be increased import competition. High-end designer nail polishes from Europe and low-priced bargain nail polishes from Asia are expected to challenge US manufacturers over the next five years.

Full-Service Restaurants in the UK Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

June 26, 2012     No comments


London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 09, 2012

The Full-Service Restaurants industry has endured a difficult time during the last five years. The economic downturn has caused many consumers to cut back on discretionary spending such as dining out, trading down to cheaper take-away options or choosing to cook at home instead. Other factors that have put downward pressure on industry growth include several changes in government regulation and policy concerning wage costs, anti-smoking legislation, alcohol tax and food safety laws. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Steven Connell, ?These conditions have forced several struggling operators to exit the industry but for some it has presented opportunities to expand operations?. Revenue is expected to have declined at an annualised rate of 4.5% during the last five years to reach ?18.7 billion in 2012-13. In 2012-13, revenue is forecast to decline 1.6%.

Industry performance will improve over the next five years but will be constrained by continued sluggish economic conditions early on. Growth will continue to suffer under the weight of austerity measures, high unemployment and continued global economic uncertainty, which will restrict discretionary spending on dining out. Conditions should improve from 2014-15 onwards as a recovering consumer environment leads diners to become less value-conscious and spend more on quality and provenance. ?Restaurants that tap into prevailing social and environmental trends and continue to emphasise high quality, locally sourced produce should perform best?, Connell adds. Mobile and online technology will also influence the industry as people use smartphone apps to choose restaurants and make reservations. Industry revenue is forecast to increase over the next five years to 2017-18.

The Full-Service Restaurants industry traditionally encompasses a large number of single establishment, owner-operated restaurants. As such, it is fragmented and owners typically compete on price, menu offerings and cuisine. The industry has a low level of market share concentration, which is not expected to change over the next five years. The top four players are Gondola Group, Whitbread, the Restaurant Group, and the Blackstone Group. The industry is known for its large staff turnover. This depends on the number of casual staff who work in the industry while studying. The relatively low wages and lack of a well-defined career path deters many employees from seeing the industry as a long-term employment opportunity.

Open-Ended Investment Company Activities in the UK Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

June 24, 2012     No comments


London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 22, 2012

Open-ended investment companies (OEICs) have weathered the financial storm well compared with their pooled investment peers. Partly attributable to asset selection and portfolio construction, revenue for OEICs is expected to decline at only an annualised 0.4% over the five years through 2012-13, to $ 51.4 billion. However, OEICs have been affected by the same systematic risk that caused the FTSE 100 to experience its largest decline in decades. The recent poor financial market performance has not deterred investments in OEICs. Fund sales suffered a minimal dip in 2007-08, but remained popular with investors despite risk appetites diminishing. Although most OEICs survived the financial crisis unscathed, several were forced to liquidate due to questionable asset selection. Several trends emerged even during the financial crisis. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Ee Jen Lee, ?although numerous investors were forced to withdraw from the financial markets entirely, other investors were shifting their wealth from risky equity securities to less risky fixed-income securities such as corporate and government bonds?.

However, persistent volatility has dampened revenue growth. The uncertainty permeating from Greece and other heavily indebted eurozone members has created waves of market speculation that have been detrimental to steady, stable market growth. Consequently, industry revenue is forecast to grow at a relatively subdued rate of 5.0% in 2012-13. OEICs can look forward to tapping into the growing institutional market over the next five years. Automatic enrolment in pension funds, which will be introduced from October 2012, is anticipated to affect nine million people. Lee adds, ?OEICs with a strong distribution network and a good track record of performance will be well placed to benefit from an expected surge in demand from institutional investors?. As such, industry revenue is forecast to grow strongly over the next five years to 2017-18.

The top four UK fund managers control an estimated 25.3% of industry FUM. According to the IMA, the top 10 fund management firms have an estimated 45% of industry UK-authorised funds. Consequently, revenue earned by the top four open-ended investment companies accounts for approximately 24.3% of industry revenue which equates to a low level of market share concentration for the industry. Major companies include Invesco, M&G Securities and Fidelity Investment Managers.

Faucet Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

June 10, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2012

With the downturn in the construction sector, demand for the Faucet Manufacturing industry dried up. Demand for faucets primarily relies on the number of new houses built, residential remodeling activity and trends in the non-residential construction market. As a result, with the residential construction market entering into its most significant downturn since the Great Depression, industry revenue contracted at double-digit rates in 2008 and 2009. Over the five years to 2012, revenue for the Faucet Manufacturing industry declined at an average annual rate of 5.0% to an estimated $ 1.2 billion. ?However, with the modest recovery in the construction sector over the past three years, industry revenue turned the corner in 2010 and is expected to post 4.1% revenue gains during 2012,? said IBISWorld industry analyst Caitlin Moldvay.

The Faucet Manufacturing industry is composed of an estimated 34 companies that manufacture domestically. This includes prominent manufacturers like Masco Corporation, American Standard Companies and Kohler Co. Over the past five years, however, with challenging economic conditions and competition from overseas manufacturers, the number of industry operators declined at an average annual rate of 4.1%. Moreover, industry manufacturers have faced challenges stemming from changing state and federal regulations to reduce lead content in plumbing fixtures and faucets. As a result, industry operators have altered production processes to comply with new regulations. According to Moldvay, over the next five years, the Faucet Manufacturing industry will benefit from the expected recovery in the construction sector, which will lead to greater demand for industry products. During the five years to 2017, housing starts are projected to rise, while spending on remodeling activity is forecast to also rise. As a result of growing demand from the construction sector, industry revenue is forecast to increase at a steady pace.

The US Faucet Manufacturing industry has a high level of industry concentration with the top four major players accounting for about 84.7% of industry revenue in 2012. This represents an increase from 2007 when the top four major players accounted for about 75.6% of industry revenue. IBISWorld estimates that about 34 companies manufacturer faucets domestically in 2012, which represents a 4.1% decrease compared with 2007 when an estimated 42 companies operated in the United States. Lower demand during the recession and industry mergers and acquisitions resulted in a slight increase in industry concentration. However, the industry’s low barriers to entry are expected to attract more companies to enter the industry, which is expected to bring industry concentration down over the next five years to 2017.

Cafes and Coffee Shops in Australia Industry Market Research Report now updated by IBISWorld

June 07, 2012     No comments


Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) May 28, 2012

The Cafes and Coffee Shops industry owes its success to the nation’s love for quality gourmet coffee, which is entrenched in the daily routine of many Australian consumers. This unique aspect of the Australian market supported demand for the industry during the recent global economic downturn. During this period, revenue for the industry grew compared with rival hospitality industries such as restaurants and catering, which both experienced a consistent decline in revenue. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Steven Connell, ?Success for industry operators is often determined by the level of customer service, price, the quality of their coffee brand and how well they make a cup of coffee.? Overall, revenue is expected to grow by an annualised 2.6% over the five years through 2011-12 to total $ 4.96 billion. Revenue for 2011-12 is expected to grow by 2.3%.

The industry is expected to experience sustained growth over the five years through 2016-17 as Australians remain hooked on coffee. Connell adds, ?While the economy will remain soft early in the period, consumer demand for high quality, convenient food and beverage offerings will underpin strong sales of coffee, pastries and meals.? Growth is expected to strengthen later in the period as the economic outlook improves and trends, such as the ongoing increase in health consciousness and the rise of ethical consumer spending, bolster sales. While the presence of international players and coffee shop franchises is expected to increase, the prevalence of small specialty operators and intense competition driven by the nation’s entrenched coffee culture are likely to remain the underlying tenets of the industry’s success and vibrancy. Industry revenue is expected to increase over the five years through 2016-17.

The Cafes and Coffee Shops industry has a low level of market share concentration compared with other Australian industries. The industry is largely fragmented and traditionally encompasses a large number of single establishment, owner-operated cafes. The most prominent players in the industry according to size and global reach are major US franchised operators: McDonald’s McCafe, Starbucks Coffee and Gloria Jean’s Coffees. The industry is highly competitive. Owner-operators input a significant proportion of their own time and effort into running a cafe. The industry is known for its large staff turnover, which generally depends on the number of casual staff who work in the industry while studying. The relatively low wages and lack of a well-defined career path deters many employees from seeing the industry as a long-term employment opportunity.

Beer and Malt Manufacturing in Australia Industry Market Research Report now updated by IBISWorld

June 06, 2012     No comments


Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) May 26, 2012

Despite volume growth being flat for the Beer and Malt Manufacturing industry, double-digit growth in premium and low-carbohydrate beer sales drove revenue growth early in the five years to 2011-12. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Steven Connell, ?While the big two players have seen sales of their flagship beers affected by consumers shifting from beer to cider, ready-to-drink spirits and an influx of foreign-label beer over the past five years, beer manufacturers have benefited from growing demand for higher value premium beers?. Fosters and Lion Nathan National Foods invested in boutique brands to capitalise on this. Revenue is expected to decline 1.5% in 2011-12 as weak consumer sentiment, colder than average weather and intensifying competition weighs on sales and margins. In the five years leading up to 2011-12, industry revenue is expected to increase by an annualised 1.9% to total $ 5.13 billion.

IBISWorld expects Fosters and Lion Nathan will continue to lose market share over the five years through 2016-17, as competition intensifies from both within and outside of the industry. ?Traditional brands such as VB and XXXX will increasingly be displaced as the market becomes more fragmented?, adds Connell. Premium beers will continue to gain their share of the market, with flavoured beers, international brands and craft beers all benefiting from drinkers’ ongoing demand for variety and quality. Declining domestic beer consumption should lead some brewers to target export markets for growth. Imports are forecast to decline as more international brands are brewed under licence in Australia. Rising environmental concerns are expected to drive innovation in products, packaging and branding. In the five years leading up to 2016-17, industry revenue is expected to increase.

The Beer and Malt Manufacturing industry in Australia has a high level of market share concentration. The two major brewers are Foster’s (SABMiller) and Lion Nathan (Kirin). However, concentration has fallen during the last five years, with drinkers switching from traditional brands such to premium international and craft beers. The third largest player in the industry, Coopers, has enjoyed robust growth over the five year period. During the last five years, both of the industry’s big two players have been acquired by foreign interests. During September 2011, Australia’s largest brewer Foster’s Group was acquired by Anglo-American giant SABMiller for $ 10.7 billion. This followed months of courtship and speculation surrounding Foster’s future, following the company’s decision to separate its beer and wine assets. During 2009, Lion Nathan was acquired by Japanese food and beverage giant Kirin Brewing Company.

Liquor Retailing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

June 03, 2012     No comments


Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) June 02, 2012

The Liquor Retailing industry in Australia experienced solid, if not variable, revenue growth during the past five years. In 2007-08, the industry benefited from rising disposable income and robust demand for wine and ready-to-drink spirits (RTDs), which led to stronger sales. The industry had a weaker year in 2008-09 as the increased excise tax on RTDs and the recession weighed on revenue. During 2009-10, sales bounced back as sharp cuts in interest rates and the $ 1,000 stimulus payment spurred liquor purchases. However, sales fell off again in 2010-11. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Steven Connell, ?a softer year is forecast for 2011-12, as weak retail conditions and another year of wetter than average weather stifle sales?. IBISWorld estimates industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 2.7% over the five years through 2011-12 to reach $ 16.3 billion. Revenue growth of 2.3% is expected for the current year.

The real story of the Liquor Retailing industry over the period, however, has been the growing market dominance of Woolworths and Coles at the expense of independent liquor retailers. Connell adds, ?there has been a major shift away from bottle shops and high-street liquor retailers to big-box liquor stores?. Over the five years through 2011-12, the supermarkets have taken advantage of this to strike favourable agreements with alcohol producers, discounting some liquor products to levels independent retailers have struggled to compete with. The supermarkets have also exploited their market position to reduce shelf space dedicated to branded products and push their own, higher-margin private and control-label beer and wine.

The Liquor Retailing industry is expected to record solid revenue growth over the next five years, underpinned by a strengthening retail environment, further growth in premium categories and rising consumption of wine, spirits and premium beer in the home. Woolworths and Coles are expected to continue to increase their market dominance over the period, with more big-box retail outlets expected to open around Australia. Independent liquor retailers will continue to feel the squeeze and some will be forced to exit the industry. The supermarket operators, Woolworths and Coles, dominate the industry. The industry has a medium level of market share concentration, largely stemming from the large number of small business operators. It is estimated that overall concentration in the industry has increased in recent years due to the entry of Woolworths and Coles.

Dentists in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

May 29, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2012

The $ 109.6 billion Dentists industry has been steadfast and performed well during the economic recession, benefiting from favorable demographic trends, improvements in technology and mounting awareness of the importance of oral hygiene. IBISWorld expects revenue to increase 1.0% per year on average during the five years to 2012. Revenue is expected to rise 0.3% from 2011 to 2012. ?This growth illustrates the resilience of the industry, which is partly attributable to growing public appreciation for dental care,? says IBISWorld industry analyst Sophia Snyder.

In contrast, the cost of dental education has soared. Weighed down with debt, dental graduates are hindered from starting practices, which require significant capital. Rapid advancements in technology are also making it very expensive to outfit a dental office. These factors have led to the growth of dental practice management companies (DPMCs), large companies that provide services for multiple dental offices. ?The allocation of accounting, staffing, marketing and other administrative tasks to a centralized management company creates a model that can address high operating costs while spreading capital costs over a larger revenue base,? adds Snyder. In addition, referrals from general dentist to specialist no longer take patient revenue away from the practice as both belong to the DPMC. Since these companies also buy independent practices, their growing dominance is leading to consolidation in the Dentists industry. During the five years to 2012, the number of companies is expected to decline 0.7% per year on average to 153,763. About 169,677 dentist offices and clinics operate in the United States, and no major companies dominate this highly fragmented industry. Nearly 92.0% of dentist offices have fewer than 20 employees, based on data from the US Census Bureau. Consolidation is forecast to persist through 2017; this will be one of several factors that will lift the operating profit margin during the next five years.

The five-year outlook for dentists is positive, with favorable demographic trends, an improving economic environment and growing access to dental insurance boosting revenue over the period. Revenue growth is expected to pick up in 2013 as healthcare reform legislation increases the number of insured Americans. DPMCs will continue to penetrate the industry and grow in size as more dentists recognize the benefits of spreading costs across practices.

Iron and Steel Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

May 28, 2012     No comments


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

The global economic crisis resulted in a dramatic reduction in demand for steel. When the activity from construction and manufacturing, which are the primary customer markets for steel products, took a steep fall, sales in the Iron and Steel Manufacturing industry also contracted. ?After industry revenue plummeted in 2009, major participants described market conditions as the worst they had ever experienced,? says IBISWorld industry analyst Brian Bueno. Revenue is projected to increase 3.3% to $ 114.8 billion in 2012 as producers increase output and some markets experience improving demand. Despite recent growth, IBISWorld projects industry revenue to increase a mere 0.9% average annual rate from 2007, driven by the severe decline that occurred in 2009. Over 2010 and 2011, prices recovered strongly as demand from the industry’s major markets bounced back. However, according to Bueno, ?Because near-term economic growth in Europe and the United States remains uncertain, steel prices are expected to experience a downward correction over 2012.?

Increased international competition will characterize the future of the industry. This trend, combined with ongoing weak domestic demand and frequent acquisition and merger activity, has resulted in fewer US enterprises in the past five years. Over the five years to 2017, fluctuating but generally increasing steel prices and higher output will cause revenue to grow. This growth is minimal, though, compared with the iron and steel industries of competing leading nations.

The Iron and Steel Manufacturing industry is moderately concentrated. The major players include ArcelorMittal, the Nucor Corporation, United States Steel Corporation and AK Steel Holding Corporation. Over the past decade, concentration has increased due to industry restructuring and merger activity, which occurred heavily in the early part of the decade. In addition, multiple smaller firms either exited or were acquired by larger companies during the economic crisis. Consolidation, and therefore industry concentration, is expected to continue an upward trend in the next five years. This is the result of an attempt to deal with increasing international competition for domestic customers and rising input costs.
