David Welsh, Founder, Baby Fame Game commented: “During my student years I paid for beans and bread by working for a popular high street bookmaker. More times than you would believe, parents would come in and ask about placing a bet on their child to accomplish a gargantuan lifetime achievement. These achievements ranged from becoming Prime Minister to scoring the winning goal in a World Cup final. Sadly we could only offer them dismal odds, but amazingly they would still strike the bet! The bets were always placed as a bit of fun with a smile on the parents’ faces. ..and this got me thinking.”

He went on to say: “What if there was a place where babies could be entered into a competition where they race to complete one of these achievements?..AND get a return on their money, much larger than any bookmaker could offer?.. AND all in the name of fun! That is when the Baby Fame Game was born.”

So if anybody thinks their baby has the look of a future Albert Einstein, Roger Federer, Winston Churchill, or even Lady Gaga, they should visit http://www.babyfamegame.com and complete the entry form today.

Strength in Numbers: Boxing Gyms and Clubs in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Strength in Numbers: Boxing Gyms and Clubs in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld











IBISWorld Market Research


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2012

The Boxing Gyms and Clubs industry took a hit during the Great Recession when consumers tightened spending on industry memberships, instruction and merchandise. “Many people cut out sports from their routines or downgraded to cheaper options when they struggled to make ends meet,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Agata Kaczanowska. US Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that the percentage of people who participated in sports declined 3.2% in 2008 and did not fully recover until 2010. This dip in demand dragged down industry revenue about 0.2% annually on average since 2007 to $ 643.5 million in 2012. The annualized drop includes an expected 2.0% revenue recovery in 2012, attributable to increasing disposable income and heightened consumer interest in the sport because of the growing prominence of professional boxing. In particular, Manny Pacquiao has been undefeated since 2005 and Floyd Mayweather Jr. remains undefeated in his professional career, which has sparked intensifying public interest in seeing these two welterweight champions fight. This industry does not include revenue from professional and semiprofessional boxing events.

Says Kaczanowska, “Publicity for the sport is driving new gyms and clubs to specialize in boxing and is helping such businesses increase profitability.” Furthermore, several boxing gyms and clubs are aggressively seeking new franchisees to expand their market reach. Companies like LA Boxing and Title Boxing Club are adding several locations each year. Consequently, IBISWorld estimates the number of Boxing Gyms and Clubs industry establishments has increased over the past five years. This growth is despite several company exits since the Great Recession due to the tight credit market. Over the next five years, operators will continue to expand into new locations. As expansion occurs, concentration is projected to increase. Currently, the industry has a low level of concentration because it is highly fragmented with a large number of nonemploying establishments. Many boxing gyms and clubs employ only one person. The percentage of nonemployers is substantial because the industry has low entry barriers, making it easier to get started in the industry. The majority of establishments employ fewer than 20 people; however, the proportion of businesses that employ 20 employees or more has increased over the past five years, indicating that concentration is rising.

As alternative exercises like boxing grow in popularity, IBISWorld expects industry operations to expand during the next five years. Additionally, recovering disposable income is expected to bolster industry revenue, especially from increased spending on supplementary offerings, such as merchandise, private classes and seminars. Overall population growth and stable sports participation are also expected to benefit the industry over the next five years.

Global Biotechnology Reagents Market to Reach US$38.3 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Global Biotechnology Reagents Market to Reach US$ 38.3 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.











San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn – Biotechnology industry has grown immensely in the past years. Modern biotechnology combines molecular and cellular biotechnology, genetics and human immunology, drawing heavily upon research in genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technology. Fortunes of the industry depend to a large extent on innovative products and addressing unmet needs. This scenario presents enormous opportunities for related markets such as reagents and supplies, which are dependent to a large extent on the market for biotechnology instrumentation, which continues to witness significant growth. Biotechnology instruments’ major application areas include the pharmaceutical industry, forensic medicine, and the agricultural industry. Emerging sectors in drug discovery arena such as proteomics, DNA chips, combinatorial chemistry, and high throughput screening, are fuelling demand for bioinstruments by the life science industry. Agriculture and food and beverage markets are also accepting biotech instrumentation.

Increasing research in the biomedical field is leading to an upsurge in the demand for biomedical research reagents and kits. Growing usage of kits can be attributed mainly to increasing realization about efficient use of resources for productive and result-oriented research. This has also resulted in a booming market for biotechnology research reagents that are used by universities, state-run laboratories, biotechnology and drug companies. With the focus shifting from the gene towards the protein, disciplines such as molecular biology and protein synthesis continue to gain wide attention from the academic and commercial sectors alike. Constant refinement and advances in technologies, such as conventional cell culture, recombinant DNA, high throughput screening and bio-therapeutics, have enhanced the scientific community’s ability to identify and produce important human therapeutic agents. The availability of bulk quantities of reagents, such as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), revolutionized basic research, medicine, and commerce.

Serum-free media is one of the rapidly growing segments in the reagents market. Growth in serum-free products can be attributed to strategic and regulatory merits of using little or no animal-based raw materials. Use of standard media by the industrial sector climbed up due to breakthroughs in application areas of monoclonals for diagnostics, biopharmaceutical therapeutics, and human and veterinary vaccines. Apart from the serum-free media, chromatography reagents market is also forecast to witness robust growth in the upcoming years, primarily driven by the robustly growing biopharmaceuticals sector. Additionally, chromatography reagents market also experienced a definite boost from the increase in quality control and research applications in the field of life sciences.

The United States represents the largest market for biotechnology reagents, as stated by the new market research report on Biotechnology Reagents. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market for biotechnology reagents, exhibiting a CAGR of more than 7.52% during the analysis period 2009-2017. Immunoassay Reagents represents the largest segment. Cell Culture Reagents is the fastest growing segment, and is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 12% during the analysis period. Nucleic-Acid reagents, particularly DNA sequencing reagents are expected to witness significant growth in the US. Approximately 10,000 US laboratories perform sequencing, and of these, one-third mainly uses automatic techniques. Manual sequencing uses slab gels, electrophoresis, and radioisotope (or alternative) labels for tracing.

A major challenge faced by the biotechnology reagents industry is the rising presence of highly automated instrumentation, which is tempering use of reagents. Automation results in highly efficient and optimal utilization of reagents and minimizes wastage, thereby leading to a significant reduction in the usage of reagents. However, continued popularity of manual procedures and a marked reluctance by scientists to upgrade their software skills is likely to ensure robust consumption of biotech reagents.Major players profiled in the report include Abbott Diagnostics, Beckman Coulter Inc., Becton Dickinson and Company, BioMérieux SA, EMD Biosciences Inc., EMD Millipore Corp., Fitzgerald Industries International, GE Healthcare, Life Technologies Corp., Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, PerkinElmer Inc., Promega Corp., Roche Diagnostics Ltd., Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., Sigma-Aldrich, among others.

The research report titled “Biotechnology Reagents: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of the biotechnology reagents market, current market trends, key growth drivers, an insight into the biotechnology market, new product innovations/launches in biotech reagents space, recent industry activity, and profiles of major/niche global market participants. The report provides annual sales estimates and projections for the global Biotechnology Reagents market for the years 2009 through 2017 for the regions, including US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Key product segments analyzed include Cell/Tissue Culture Reagents, DNA Sequencing/Synthesis Reagents, Electrophoresis Reagents, Flow Cytometry Reagents, Immunoassay Reagents, Liquid Chromatography Reagents, Polymerase Chain Reaction Reagents, and Protein Synthesis Reagents.
