Health Trends Leading to Promising Growth in Sugar Alternatives

The market for caloric sweeteners is growing at a fast pace because of increased demand for natural products and also because of new research that highlights the benefits of using these sweeteners. The market fundamentals driving volatile prices were large global sugar deficits in the previous two seasons and adverse weather in a number of countries that reduced the size of the rebound in production. World sugar stocks, which had already been down, fell to their lowest level in 20 years in 2010 to 2011, leading to volatile market prices. International sugar prices are expected to ease back into 2013 as production responds around the world to recent high prices and the global stocks move to larger surplus.
The bulk of the additional sugar production will come from developing countries and the main burden of growth will continue to fall on Brazil, which is the largest producer of sugar. Brazil has expanded production rapidly in the past two decades, but a slowdown in investment in new mills occurred after the financial crisis of 2008, slowing overall growth in following years. The recent surge in sugar prices has improved profitability and should trigger additional investment to come on stream within the decade. India, the second largest global producer and the world's leading consumer, is expected to boost production substantially to 32 metric tons (MT) of sugar per year.

The high-potency sweeteners market is driven by consumer attraction to food and drinks with reduced calorie contents while still delivering the full sensory experience of sugared products, particularly when evaluated in the context of the global rise in obesity. The rise in obesity levels globally and the consumer demand for healthier products will ensure that high-potency sweeteners will continue to be vital tools for effective new product development.
Other major reasons for stronger demand are related to health issues such as diabetes and dental carries. The rise in the number of people with diabetes globally is also a major factor leading to the shift to nonsugar sweeteners.
Consumer research shows that low calorie foods and beverages have become part of the lifestyle of millions of men and women who want to stay in better overall health, control their weight or simply enjoy the many low-calorie products available.

Major Growth Expected for Robotics Technologies in Asia

Asian market countries share a common interest with the European Union in the area of  industrial and professional service robots; they diverge with both the EU and North America in placing a lower priority on integrating robots into their military or security forces.  Available open-source intelligence indicates that the relatively small investment in military robots for mainland China reflects a poorly developed communications command and control network, coupled with the economic need to maintain a large standing army as a mechanism for providing jobs and incomes, especially in rural regions. 

The cohesiveness of this industry is presently low, but trade agreements that BCC Research anticipates to be concluded over the forecast period will harmonize business practices and the flow of commodities during product manufacturing.  BCC does not anticipate the cohesiveness of this region to approach that of North America or the European Union, but it will be greatly improved by 2018.

BCC anticipates that the bulk of the growth in the European Union will be concentrated in the later part of the forecast period, when robotic development initiatives now being undertaken on an EU-wide basis will result in commercialized products.  The distribution of growth among different types of robots also reflects a profoundly different approach in the EU toward encouraging the development of the industry than that is occurring in the North American market.  The chief difference is an EU-wide emphasis on creating a new class of robots that can safely work in near proximity to humans and safely perform personal care tasks that will be increasingly required as the European population ages.

This report provides:

• An overview of recent key developments in the global market for robotics and a look ahead at the next five years.
• Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2011 and 2012, estimates for 2013, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2018.
