Saudi Arabia Sanitary Ware Market Projected to Reach US$ 1.42 Billion (SAR 5.3 Billion) By 2018 Says TechSci Research

March 19, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Real estate growth, government initiatives and high disposable income is making the future of sanitary ware industry more promising in the Kingdom.

Vancouver, Canada, March 19, 2013 — According to recently published report by TechSci Research “Sanitary Ware Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018“, the sanitary ware market’s revenues in Saudi Arabia are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 21% during the period 2012-2018. This will drive the market value of sanitary ware industry of Saudi Arabia to reach at around USD 1.42 Billion by 2018 from USD 445 Million in 2012. The central and the western regions are the highest contributor in the sales volume of sanitary ware products in Saudi Arabia. These regions have the advantage of both the high population as well as their economic strength. Some of the important markets in these regions are Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, etc.

Saudi Arabia is one of the main hubs for sanitary ware market players in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region. The sanitary ware market of Saudi Arabia is more promising than rest of the neighboring nations as various projects are under process in Saudi Arabia. Over 70% of the sanitary ware products demand in Saudi Arabia is being fulfilled by imports. Some of the major sanitary ware industry’s players are Saudi Ceramics, RAK Ceramics and Casa via, etc.

The measures taken by the Saudi Government have been playing an instrumental role in shaping the future of sanitary ware industry. The Saudi government has allocated huge budgets for various projects such as the construction of 742 schools, 40 colleges and universities. The Saudi government has also announced its decision to build around 5,00,000 housing units and has increased its real estate budget by a astonishing figure of USD 10.7 Billion (SAR 40 Billion). The expenditures of the Saudi government on real estate have been growing at a rate of over 13% annually to meet the increasing demand of real estate in Saudi Arabia, outlines TechSci Research report.

The rising demand for houses in Saudi Arabia has led to the considerable growth in the real estate sector. The demand for sanitary ware products from the housing sector has remained the backbone for the sanitary ware market in Saudi Arabia. The rising domestic as well as the expatriate population, high urbanization, increasing nuclear families trend, etc. have led to the higher demand of houses than the earlier times. The high disposable income of individuals in Saudi Arabia has enabled the individuals in Saudi Arabia to purchase the apartments. In Saudi Arabia, the demand for high end models of sanitary ware products is also quite significant and large numbers of individuals in Saudi Arabia are not hesitating to invest extravagantly in the high valued sanitary ware products. This is mainly due to the high purchasing power capacity of consumers in Saudi Arabia. At present, the population of Saudi Arabia is over 27 Million, due to which it has emerged as one of the most emerging markets for the real estate industry in the GCC. The demand for houses is expected to increase further, which would directly make an impact on the sales of sanitary ware products in Saudi Arabia.

“The dynamics of the sanitary ware industry in Saudi Arabia are expected to change in near future as the domestic companies like Saudi Ceramics, etc have started increasing their production capacity. This factor along with the measures taken by the Saudi government to support the domestic companies is likely to reduce the dependence of Saudi Arabia on the imported items.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research.

The report provides detailed overview of the Saudi sanitary ware market. This report helps reader to identify the ongoing trends in the industry and anticipated growth in future depending upon changing industry dynamics in the coming years. The report will help various stakeholders to align their market centric strategies according to ongoing and expected trends in future.

Edgar Perez, HFT Leaders Forum 2013 London, Debunks Financial Transaction Tax Myths & Misconceptions

March 18, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (March 18, 2013) — Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, will debunk a number of myths and misconceptions about the widely-discussed financial transaction tax in his keynote Golden Networking’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21, forum that will provide attendees in London with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands through an inspiring keynote speeches and thought-provoking panels with leaders in the field.

– Low Latency: How to achieve Ultra-Low Latency for High-Frequency Trading? As high-frequency trading moves towards multi-asset classes running multi-legged strategies demanding even faster execution, ultra-low latency performance becomes the focus. How will architectures evolve to meet the latency challenge? How helpful overclocking CPUs and leveraging FPGA coprocessors can result? How will wireless, cloud and big data technologies play in the speed race? How technology can enable modern applications to minimize latency while managing for high throughput?

– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how new Regulations will Change the Industry? With high-frequency trading the subject of great controversy and debate, many regulations will be bound to change. How will regulations impact the way traders are capturing alpha? Would there be restrictions that can possibly harm algorithmic trading? How the economic and political landscape might impact the pace and severity of these changes?

– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, how Participants will be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation? Algorithms are becoming more prevalent, faster, smarter, more self-adaptive and geographically distributed and embracing cross asset classes trading and geographies. How will robotic market impact trading, and high-frequency trading in particular? What will be the benefits quants can expect from this evolution? Will there be any disadvantages? New alpha versus alpha retention?

– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading? With emerging markets on the rise, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading are shifting to geographies in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Which markets hold the most promise? Which asset classes can be traded in high-frequency in those markets? Are there restrictions to frequency and speed in place in any of those promising lands? What is the outlook for high-frequency trading among regulators in those markets?

– The Future of HFT: How High-frequency Trading will Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments? There has been a dramatic shift in how instruments are traded in the market. With high frequency trading able to detect price discrepancies in microseconds, aided by technology, regulators have grown increasingly concerned about its impact in market structure and fairness. What is the outlook for the markets when all participants engage in the arms race of super smart algorithms? Where will institutional and retail investors find opportunities? Conversely, could we imagine a world without high-frequency trading?

Chi-X Co-Founder, Hirander Misra, to Speak at High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London

March 18, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, March 21 (www.High-Frequency-Trading.info).

New York City, NY, USA (March 18, 2013) — Mr. Hirander Misra, Chairman of Forum Trading Solutions, will speak at Golden Networking‘s upcoming High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21, forum that will provide attendees in London with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands through an inspiring keynote speeches and thought-provoking panels with leaders in the field.

Mr. Hirander is the Chairman of trading technology provider Forum Trading Solutions and Managing Director of Misra Ventures, a consultancy providing specialist senior level advisory services helping firms deliver change in market structure, trading and regulatory compliance.

Previously he was a Co-Founder and the Chief Operating Officer of Chi-X Europe Ltd, instrumental in taking the company from concept to successful launch. Established in 2007 by Nomura Holdings subsidiary Instinet, Chi-X Europe was eventually owned by a consortium of major global financial institutions including BNP Paribas, Citadel, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Fortis, GETCO Europe Ltd, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Optiver, Société Générale and UBS. When it launched, Chi-X Europe was the first multilateral trading facility that launched in anticipation of the European Union’s November 2007 Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), which paved the way for the introduction of alternative trading venues in Europe. At the time of Mr. Hirander’s departure in February 2010, Chi-X Europe was the second largest equities trading venue in Europe, just behind the LSE Group and was subsequently sold to BATS Global Markets in November 2011 for $365M.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Hirander held a variety of roles in the electronic trading space during his 8 year tenure with Instinet, most notably SVP Head of Product Development and Head of the European Exchange Linkages Group, delivering Instinet, Europe’s direct exchange connectivity product suite, and launching the first European Smart Order Routing system.

Mr. Hirander has continuously urged for stronger exchange-level controls to halt trading in India to avoid a repeat of the crash that occurred on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in October 2012. “Algo trading and HFT isn’t inherently bad. It’s not the volume of orders that’s the problem, it’s about having the right level of monitoring and controls in the core system. Any well-designed modern system with the right checks in place should be able to handle high volumes and unexpected market events.” The India flash crash drew parallels to the 2010 US flash crash that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average to plunge by 9% within five minutes, due to an unconstrained algo trade deployed by a mutual fund, only to recover the majority of losses 20 minutes later.

High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” will bring insights for investors and speed traders who need to protect and refine their competitive advantage in a world dominated by algorithmic and high-frequency trading. Recognized practitioners, regulators, experts, and strategists will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 to provide attendees with the information they are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

The High-Frequency Trading Conference Every Trader and Quant in London is Talking About Now March 21

March 15, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (March 15, 2013) — Which is the high-frequency trading conference every trader and quant in London is talking about? High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” (http://www.HFT-Leaders-Forum.com), organized by Golden Networking, will bring the latest on speed trading to the world’s financial capitals, London (March 21). Later in the year, High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 is coming to New York City (May 30) and Chicago (October 8).

High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” will bring insights for investors and speed traders, who need to protect and refine their competitive advantage in a world dominated by algorithmic and high-frequency trading. Recognized practitioners, regulators, experts, and strategists will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, New York City and Chicago to provide hundreds of attendees with the information they are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

Advanced computerized trading platforms and market gateways are becoming standard tools of most types of traders, including high-frequency traders. Broker-dealers now compete on routing order flow directly, in the fastest and most efficient manner, to the line handler where it undergoes a strict set of Risk Filters before hitting the execution venue(s). Ultra Low Latency Direct Market Access (ULLDMA) is a hot topic amongst Brokers and Technology vendors such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and UBS. Typically, ULLDMA systems can currently handle high amounts of volume and boast round-trip order execution speeds (from hitting “transmit order” to receiving an acknowledgment) of 10 milliseconds or less.

Such performance is achieved with the use of hardware acceleration or even full-hardware processing of incoming market data, in association with high-speed communication protocols, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet or PCI Express. More specifically, some companies provide full-hardware appliances based on FPGA technology to obtain sub-microsecond end-to-end market data processing. High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will provide traders, quants and technologists with the most up-to-date review of where this ever-changing industry stands and is going through an inspiring keynote speeches and thought-provoking panels with leaders in the field.

With high-frequency trading the subject of great controversy and debate, many regulations will be bound to change. How will regulations impact the way traders are capturing alpha? Would there be restrictions that can possibly harm algorithmic trading? How the economic and political landscape might impact the pace and severity of these changes?

Finally, there has been a dramatic shift in how instruments are traded in the market. With high frequency trading able to detect price discrepancies in microseconds, aided by technology, regulators have grown increasingly concerned about its impact in market structure and fairness. What is the outlook for the markets when all participants engage in the arms race of super smart algorithms? Where will institutional and retail investors find opportunities?

NanoMarkets Issues Latest Report on Market for OLED Lighting; Revises Forecasts Downward

March 14, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “OLED Lighting Market Forecast 2013.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – March 14, 2013 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “OLED Lighting Market Forecast 2013.” In its latest report, NanoMarkets has significantly lowered its previously released estimates on the future prospects for OLED lighting panels and luminaires. And while the firm estimates that the OLED lighting products business can still surpass $2 billion (USD) in revenues by the year 2020, a number of market and technical factors will need to be overcome for this market opportunity to fully emerge. Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/oled_lighting_market_forecast_2013.

From the Report:

Most of the industry’s observers and participants have been targeting the year 2016 as the year that OLED lighting was to really take off. Unfortunately though, in the past year the market showed no discernible technical advancements and from the manufacturing standpoint, there has been insufficient progress on bringing yields up and costs down to support OLED lighting’s entry into general illumination applications like office lighting. Production facilities remain insufficient and the economies within both Europe and Japan are severely dampening market prospects. Last but not least, the industry lacks a true market “champion” that will lead the business forward.

NanoMarkets sees one of three possible scenarios for the OELD lighting business.

Scenario 1: One or two “champion” firms will emerge (perhaps with government support), make substantial performance and process improvements, and sufficiently expand production capacity to bring costs down to a level that with finally enable penetration of general illumination markets. NanoMarkets believes that right now LG is THE firm to drive the market but also notes that China’s influence on the OLED lighting business has yet to be felt.

Scenario 2: If no champion emerges, costs stay high, and performance lags the competition then OLED lighting will be relegated to specialty, niche-only luxury lighting with a market value unlikely exceeding $500 million in revenues before the end of the decade. This will certainly lead to a large exodus from the business.

Scenario 3: Industry fails to attain any reasonable targets – cost or otherwise – and thus relegating the technology to the dustbin of abandoned “revolutionary” technologies. While NanoMarkets does not currently hold this position as the most likely, the industry’s failure to do more than offer future promises makes it a more sobering reality than anyone would have likely considered as recently as last year.
