Global Escalators & Elevators Market Report: 2009 Edition

The elevators and escalators industry, or the E+E industry as is sometimes referred to, is globally dominated by the elevators. Elevators and escalators include new equipments and services. This industry is directly related to the construction industry. The trends and the movements of the construction industry impact the elevator and escalator market directly. Demand and order intake for new elevators tracks GDP growth and developments in construction activity with about a one-year lag.

The installed elevators and new installations are clearly divided among regions, between Western and emerging economies. The concentration of the installed elevators is more in the Western economies, with about 50% of the elevators installed in Europe. The emerging economies in Asia, and particularly China, have taken a clear lead in new installations.

This distinction between developed and emerging economies also becomes much more evident when we talk about the revenue mix of global OEMs. While the OEMs revenues mix within the Western economies is skewed sharply towards services and modernization, the emerging economies are generating revenues primarily from installation of new elevators and escalators.

Globally the E+E market is dominated by the 4 global Western OEMs, Otis, Schindler, Thyssenkrupp and Kone. After these companies the Asian OEMs, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba and Fujitech, come into the picture.
The current report analyzes the elevator and escalator market on a global scale. The size of key regional markets, like Europe, US, China, Korea and Middle East, are also being provided with a detailed analysis of the European market. The report also throws light upon the safety legislations requiring modernization of lifts in Western countries. The key drivers and challenges of the industry are also discussed. Finally the top players of the industry are profiled, with a focus on their key strategies.

Vacation Ownership (Timeshare) Industry Report: 2009 Edition

The global economic recession, especially in the West, has had a deep impact on the global textile machinery. Having witnessed a favorable investment climate in the first half of 2007, particularly, the textile machinery industry is growing at a relatively slow pace.
The decline in the global textile machinery industry is evident from both the import and export perspectives. While China, the largest importer of textile machineries worldwide, noted a fall of 14% in import during January to October 2008 against the same period in 2007, Germany, the world’s largest exporter, faced a notable slump in demand. The overall exports of textile machineries from Germany declined by 12% in the first seven months of 2008 compared to the same period in the previous year of 2007.

Recession in the textile industry has been recognized as the key factor affecting the demand of textile machineries, which further led to cautious investment in machineries by the investors.

According to the market experts, the global textile machinery industry will not recover in 2009 due to the uncertain financial markets and dependence of the textile industry on state subsidies in many countries.

However, some factors will continue to sustain the growth if not drive the demand for textile machineries in the world. The blooming Asian textile industry is primary factor stimulating the business of western machinery manufacturers and local competitors. Secondly, a notable rise in the demand for nonwoven - based disposable products such as filters and tissues – is also projected to add to the market growth. In emerging economies like China and India, nonwovens hold immense business opportunities because of the growing prosperity in these regions.

The report offers an analysis of the global textile machinery market with a focus on spinning machineries (short-staple and long-staple spindles and open-end rotors). The market has been evaluated on the basis of shipments of textile machineries globally and the size and growth of various machinery applications. It also analyzes market opportunities in the Asian region (specifically China, India and Turkey) for the textile machine manufacturers. The competitive landscape of the textile machinery industry has been assessed in the report with spotlight on leading players like Rieter, Oerlikon, Lakshmi Machine Works and Jingwei Textile Machinery. Further, the future of the textile machinery industry has been critically discussed in the report.
