GM Soybean Seed Production in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 19, 2013
The Genetically Modified (GM) Soybean Seed Production industry has grown tremendously during the five years to 2013, with revenue expected to increase an average 9.4% per year. “Regulations that support environmental preservation and US energy independence have underpinned demand for biofuel,” according to IBISWorld industry analyst Nikoleta Panteva. Following corn, soybeans are the largest domestic crop used in organically derived fuel. As such, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 have created a rush of downstream demand. From 2008 to 2013, demand from the Organic Chemical Manufacturing industry (IBISWorld report 32519) has grown at an annualized rate of 2.4% during the five-year period.
However, just as regulations have boosted GM Soybean Seed Production industry performance, they have stifled growth as well. “Consumer distaste for genetically engineered crops has put several measures on the ballot, making it more difficult for GM seed companies to expand their operations,” says Panteva. On the back of weak demand from food processors, industry revenue is expected to be subdued in 2013, growing an anemic 0.8% to $ 1.6 billion.
During the past five years, imports have also threatened the industry. As the value of the dollar has grown, imports have become relatively inexpensive domestically. As a result, the value of imports are expected to have grown at an average annual rate of 13.3% to $ 200.0 million. Meanwhile, export markets have dried up as US soybean seeds have become comparatively expensive on the international market; exports have fallen at an estimated annualized rate of 5.6% to $ 24.1 million.
The GM Soybean Seed Production industry has a high level of market share concentration. Concentration is not expected to change significantly during the next five years. Due to their size and desire to hold a larger share of the market, DuPont and Monsanto will likely acquire smaller companies to expand operations and geographic presence just as they had in the past five years. Garst Seed Co. is another major player in this industry.
The GM Soybean Seed Production industry is forecast to continue on its upward path, growing during the five years to 2018. Demand from biofuel producers will continue to drive revenue growth as renewable fuel standards grow. Moreover, demand from developing economies will also support export growth. Still, consumers’ demand for organic food will continue to stifle the industry’s opportunities, resulting in slightly subdued growth during the outlook period.

Freight Trailer Manufacturing in Australia Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld
Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) September 03, 2013
The Freight Trailer Manufacturing in Australia industry is highly dependent on its downstream industries. Although operators supply trailers to a number of diverse clients, the severity of the economic downturn and its flow-on effects have caused relatively slower growth in the industry. There are several channels through which this has occurred. Poor business sentiment has caused lower construction levels. Slower economic activity resulted in businesses carrying less stock, leading to a lower general need for transportation. Both of these factors translated into lower demand for new trailers. This was somewhat counterbalanced by a stronger demand from mining, which helped to drive revenue growth in the later part of the past five years. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Andrei Ivanov, “lower construction levels were also mitigated, to some extent, by increasing public spending on infrastructure projects”.
Overall, industry revenue is forecast to grow at annual compound growth rate of 2.1% over the five years through 2013-14 to reach $ 879.6 million. “However, this is calculated off a low base figure, and the industry did experience a significant downturn following the onset of the financial crisis,” says Ivanov. In 2013-14, the industry is forecast to grow by 4.3%. The industry has a medium share of concentration that belies the level of fragmentation that exists beyond the major players. The most significant operators in the industry are MaxiTRANS Industries Limited and Vawdrey Australia Pty Ltd.
The outlook for the Freight Trailer Manufacturing industry remains positive, but it is unlikely to achieve growth rates on par with those reached before the financial crisis. Mining will decrease as a source of industry revenue as more projects reach completion and come online. Furthermore, transportation of mined ore via rail infrastructure is more cost-effective and will present strong competition to trucking in this market segment. Lower interest rates are expected to bode well for construction. Residential construction is anticipated to grow in the short term. Commercial construction is set to follow as business sentiment improves and private investment gains steam. This will drive sales of new trailers and generate revenue for the industry. Favourable weather conditions in Australia, combined with droughts in the US and a growing demand for wheat in China, are expected to drive the demand for Australian grain. Increased production is anticipated to translate into higher demand for trailers as a means of transportation for bulk commodities.

Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 05, 2013
The Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing industry produces synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. As such, it plays an essential role in ensuring that the world’s agricultural production systems are economically efficient in the short term and sustainable in the long term. According to IBISWorld Industry analyst Radia Amari, “over much of the past decade, the industry enjoyed moderate growth led by three main growth drivers: feed, food and biofuels.” Following a marked contraction in 2009, fertilizer and agrochemical demand has rebounded strongly in traditional markets and emerging markets, where food pressures have led to calls for higher agricultural productivity and crop yields. Industry production also has continued to recover from the depressed levels of 2008 and 2009, although it is still operating below installed capacity. Tight agricultural commodity markets and relatively high agricultural prices are benefiting the industry. Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 1.6% to $ 150.9 billion over the five years to 2013, including expected growth of 2.5% in 2013. Global debt concerns are weighing on industry performance. At the same time, the industry will continue to contend with a changing climate, food security issues and establishing a green economy.
Over the next five years, the industry’s performance will hinge on the strong demand growth expected from emerging economies in Asia and the Americas, and new industry operations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Farmers will increasingly demand industry products as farm production increases. “Prices will also grow over the next five years, which will further expand industry revenue,” says Amari. Any continued volatility in energy and agricultural commodity prices will also affect the industry. Within the pesticide segment, variables like the flow-on effects of biotechnology developments and the growing sizes of the areas dedicated to genetically modified (GM) crops will impact industry demand. From 2013 to 2018, industry revenue is forecast to grow. The industry is expected to display a lower degree of volatility, but demand and supply imbalances will influence industry performance on a year-to-year basis.
The Global Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals Manufacturing industry has a low level of market share concentration. However, concentration levels will vary between product segments. For example, within the pesticide segment, the top six producers (i.e. BASF, Bayer, Dow, DuPont, Monsanto and Syngenta) are estimated to supply the majority of the global market. Within the fertilizer product segment, there are 10 companies that dominate: PotashCorp, Mosaic, Uralkali, Belaruskali, OCP, Yara, CF Industries, Israel Chemicals, Agrium and the K&S Group. Industry consolidation has increased over the past years as an increasing number of operators have merged or been acquired. For example, BASF acquired the Sorex Group in 2008.

Toy, Doll & Game Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2013
The Toy, Doll and Game Manufacturing industry is expected to continue its modest recovery from painful revenue losses suffered during the recession. Revenue is expected to increase 1.0% to $ 2.69 billion in 2013. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Sean Windle, “Because toys, dolls and games are discretionary items, industry demand is heavily dependent on economic factors, such as unemployment, consumer sentiment and the level of disposable income – all of which experienced losses over the past five years.” To make matters worse, industry operators have had to face not only dismal economic conditions, but also mounting competition from lower-cost imports. As a result, IBISWorld estimates industry revenue fell at an average annual rate of 6.2% in the five years to 2013.
While the worst of the downturn has passed, the same cannot be said of the industry’s struggle to compete with lower-cost imported toys. “Manufacturers in countries like China, which accounts for the overwhelming majority of industry imports, enjoy more relaxed labor and environmental regulations, and can therefore produce goods at a fraction of the cost of US manufacturers,” says Windle. In order to remain competitive, industry firms have had to lower their prices, which has caused them to incur higher fixed costs and made it harder to absorb rising raw material expenses. As a result, the industry’s profitability has declined over the past five years. With faltering profitability, many firms have resorted to labor and wage cuts, facility closures or been forced to exit the industry.
The Toy, Doll and Game Manufacturing industry exhibits a low market share concentration. Although close to one-quarter of the market is taken by two global toy manufacturers, Mattel and Hasbro, the remainder of the industry is characterized by a large number of small and privately owned firms. IBISWorld estimates that over half of all companies in the industry will employ fewer than five workers in 2013, with nearly three quarters of firms expected to employ fewer than 10 workers. In contrast, only 3.7% of industry operators are expected to employ 100 or more workers. While the industry remains fragmented, concentration has increased over the past five years, due to many firms being forced to exit the industry under tough economic conditions. Faced with falling demand and eroding profit margins, many underperforming operators had no choice but to close up shop. Other firms that survived the economic downturn have transferred their manufacturing facilities overseas to take advantage of lower production costs.
Unfortunately for toy, game and doll manufacturers, the long-term outlook is bleak. While consumer confidence, the level of disposable income and employment are all expected to increase over the next five years, import penetration is also set to increase. Since a major basis for competition amongst toy manufacturers is price, US firms, which carry higher labor and regulatory costs, will continue to be at a disadvantage to lower-cost overseas manufacturers. However, a bright spot does exist: as import penetration continues to accelerate, US operators are finding business opportunities through exports, which are expected to increase over the next five years. Export growth will help offset some of the industry’s losses from import competition. In the five years to 2018, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to increase.
