Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors: Supercapacitors Market 2013-2023 New Study Published By MarketResearchReports.biz

This is the only report on supercapacitors and supercabatteries with up to date ten year forecasts and analysis of market, emerging applications, technology, patent and profit trends and the manufacturers and researchers involved.

55% of the manufacturers and intending manufacturers of supercapacitors/supercabatteries (EDLC, AEDLC) are in East Asia, 28% are in North America but Europe is fast asleep at only 7%. Yet, being used for an increasing number of purposes in electric vehicles, mobile phones, energy harvesting, renewable energy and other products of the future, this market is roaring up to over $11 billion in ten years with considerable upside potential.

To Read The Complete Report with TOC Visit: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/107526

Supercapacitors are a curiously neglected aspect of electronics and electrical engineering with a multimillion dollar market rapidly emerging. For example, for land, water and airborne electric vehicles, there are about 200 serious traction motor manufacturers and 110 serious traction battery suppliers compared to just a few supercapacitor manufacturers. In all, there are no more than 66 significant super capacitor manufacturers with most concentrating on the easier small ones for consumer electronics such as power backup. However, in a repetition of the situation with rechargeable batteries, the largest part of the market has just become the heavy end, notably for electric and conventional vehicles.

Supercapacitors mainly have properties intermediate between those of batteries and traditional capacitors but they are being improved more rapidly than either. That includes improvement in cost and results in them not just being used to enhance batteries but even replacing batteries and capacitors in an increasing number of applications from renewable energy down to microscopic electronics. For example, your mobile phone may have better sound and flash that works at ten times the distance because a supercapacitor has taken over these functions from conventional capacitors.

Supercapacitors are replacing batteries where such properties as excellent low temperature performance, calendar and cycle life, fast charge-discharge and reliability are more dominant issues than size and weight. Examples of this include power backup opening bus doors in an emergency, working hybrid car brakes when power goes down and keeping electronic circuits running. Conventional trucks are having one to three of their lead acid batteries replaced with drop-in super capacitor alternatives that guarantee starting in very cold weather, when lead acid batteries are very poor performers.

The difference is dramatic- about 5% energy loss occurs at minus 25 degrees centigrade, compared to a battery's energy loss of more than 50%. Some pure electric buses even run on super capacitors alone recharging through the road every five kilometers or so. Use of supercapacitors to protect batteries against fast charge and discharge and from deep discharge means smaller batteries are needed and they last longer, depressing battery demand and increasing super capacitor demand.

Latest Report: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/164611

The bottom line is that almost everywhere you see next generation electronic and power technology you see supercapacitors and supercabatteries being fitted or planned because of superior performance, cost-over-life and fit-and-forget.

Artprice : The Art Market 2012 - a dialogue between East and West

Editorial
For this study of the global art market in 2012, Artprice has formed an alliance with Artron, the leading information service on the art market in China within the Greater Asia region, in order to provide the best possible overview of the art auction market.
For years, Artprice has taken the utmost interest in collecting the data of the Asian art market and more especially the Chinese market. However, Artprice was missing a key element: the cultural and sociologic analysis that key actor Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA) only could provide, according to Thierry Ehrmann, the founder and CEO of Artprice. With the art market now bipolar, entering into a dialogue between East and West has enabled us to come to an unprecedented cross-cultural analysis of the market.
In fact, we are analysing a bipolar art market that has grown in China and the West and at different speeds in different cultural terrains and according to different standards. In comparison with 2011 figures, released by Artprice in its annual report, those of 2012, co-released by Artprice and Artron, show an increase by 6.1%.
There has of course been a globalisation effect due to the dematerialisation of the art market through the Internet and the nomadic nature of collectors. And of course it is clear that bridges have been built between East and West and that the creation, supply and demand of art sometimes overlap at certain points. But we cannot say that art has become totally homogeneous. On the contrary, the art market exacerbates cultural differences by reflecting the gamut of artistic choices. Chinese collectors are not inclined to buy a Western piece of art that they find is too far removed from their cultural parameters. Instead, they prefer traditional styles, ancient calligraphy and, more recently, contemporary "experimental" ink art. Likewise, Western collectors mainly buy the works of artists who speak their language, including some Asian artists who have assimilated Western art history.
So the idea of a globalised art market should be taken with a pinch of salt. In any case, it is a little premature for Western and Chinese readers to be finding their bearings in an analysis of the global art market that is bent on combining information from East and West at all costs. In order to provide a clear and transparent analysis for our entire global readership, this year our report is made up of an introduction that covers the results of art sales around the world in 2012, followed by two distinct chapters. The first of these concentrates exclusively on the art market in the West and Artprice data, while the second focuses on art in China and Artron data. This fertile relationship between Artprice and Artron has led us both to examine our areas of overlap and divergence and to look at the way a new geopolitics is evolving in the art market of the 21st century.
thierry Ehrmann
For the past ten year, Artprice has published its exclusive annual art market report - available in 6 languages -, which is distributed to over 6,300 media organisations and international institutions every year. Based on 6.3 million auction results from 4,500 auction houses around the world, the report contains macro- and micro-economic analyses providing the keys to understanding the annual evolution of the global auction market. It discusses the major trends in the market, analysed throughout the year on the ArtMarketInsight page of our website, by the Artprice press agency and jointly by the Artprice and the Art Market Monitor of Artron Econometrics Department. To complement this objective appreciation of the art market based on a year of global auction results, Artprice and the Art Market Monitor of Artron also offer numerous original rankings such as the Top 500 artists by auction revenue and the Top 100 auction results of the year.

Europe Shifting to Digital Money and Online Sales for Micropayment Finds Frost & Sullivan

The micropayments market is set to grow rapidly in Europe. Overall, cash payments are decreasing in the region, and though they still remain the preferred means of payment, the emergence of micropayment solutions and products is fuelling the shift to digital money. In fact, defining a single direction for the European market, optimising fee structure and risk management, and enhancing end-user experience will surely boost the use of prepaid, online and contactless solutions for small payments.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan on Opportunities in the Micropayments Market finds that the growth of micropayments solutions will be driven by the usage of pre-paid, contactless, and mobile payment solutions. The analysis determines that use of contactless payment cards systems in Europe is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.7 per cent from 2011 to 2017. Likewise, with the massive adoption of smartphones and increasing penetration of tablets in Europe, mobile commerce will record a CAGR of 10.6 per cent between 2011 and 2018.

The shift to digital money has a substantial benefit for banks and governments alike. In Europe, the cost of handling cash is high. The European Payment Council (EPC) is working on ways to improve processes and reduce the total cost. "The process of production, transportation, protection and destruction of cash is complex and expensive, and with only 30 per cent of the produced money in circulation, governments are looking to optimise the national cost of cash," said Frost & Sullivan ICT Global Program Director Jean-No?l Georges. "The economic crisis has also forced governments to streamline tax collection and fight against shadow markets through the use of electronic money and associated Web services."

Moving away from cash, however, comes with many challenges attached. The preference for cash payment among the older generation of users, issues with the business model and lack of infrastructure as well as a clear marketing message have pegged back market growth in the short term.

Consumers have shown varying degrees of readiness to adopt contactless cards. Frost & Sullivan believes that education on the user and merchant sides, with a strong focus on the security features of contactless technologies, will help to popularise the usage of contactless cards, and potentially, of contactless-based mobile payments.

As of now, the future of prepaid cards and prepaid mobile solutions seems brighter. "Turning cash into electronic funds in a stored value account is currently the best approach," noted Georges. "A flexible solution, which includes issuing a prepaid mobile payment account where customers can load the money through peer-to-peer transfers, cash deposits or bank cards and then use the prepaid value with merchants, will encourage non-cash payments."

Lastly, cloud-based mobile payments are also expected to contribute to the expansion of the micropayments market. "Cloud-based m-payments, in principle, are an extension of the traditional online commerce market. However, we believe that as cloud-based m-payment matures, and its awareness among consumers and merchants increase, the solution will play an important role for the in-store payments and micropayments markets," said Georges.

Creating marketing and promotional tools based on target groups and offering aggressive awards and discount programs will also spur demand for micropayments.

Increasing Complexity of Security Threats Spurs Middle East Network Security Market Finds Frost & Sullivan

The Middle East network security market is all set for rapid growth as organisations in the region realise their vulnerability to increasingly complex cybercrimes. The need to comply with Government cyber legislations has further encouraged businesses to implement network security solutions, fuelling the markets growth in the region.

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (networksecurity.frost.com), The Middle East Network Security Market, finds that the market earned revenues of USD 341.4 million in 2012 and estimates this to reach USD 933.6 million in 2018.

The Webinar conducted by Frost & Sullivan on 12th February 2013 titled Analysis of the Middle East Network Security Market shared strategic insights on the various drivers, restraints and challenges in the network security market in the GCC. The Webinar discussed the priority areas in network security investment, the level of network security adoption and the technology convergence leading to next generation firewall capabilities in the GCC. To get more insights on the Middle East Network Security Market and view a recording of the complimentary Webinar, click here.

During the Webinar, Ankit Mishra, Senior Research Analyst, Information & Communication Technologies Practice, who closely tracks the IT Security Market, indicated that,"The growing number of organised security breaches in the Middle East, which have caused data losses worth millions of dollars, have led companies across verticals, particularly in banking, financial services and insurance and telecom, to invest in network security solutions. Enterprises recognition that attacks can affect business continuity and agility as well as tarnish brand image drives security installations.""

Governments in the Middle East have increased their network security spending in the education, healthcare, construction and infrastructure sectors, and ongoing as well as planned modernisation programs across these verticals will continue to spur the uptake of network security applications.

The convergence of network security technologies in a single device will boost demand for advanced security intelligence systems, although the shortage of skilled labour to manage these sophisticated, technology-intensive solutions can curb investments from companies. The unregulated distribution framework, which lacks structure in terms of price, profit potential and regional allocation, also hinders market growth.

Forming local joint ventures and partnerships will enable distributors to establish strong business relationships with key end users in the region, ensure quality after-sales services, logistics support, and spare part availability, and sustain business in the long run, especially in Saudi Arabia.

"Higher throughputs, more web-based applications, complex connections within applications, and access to a large amount of data have become a necessity in several enterprises, and solution developers need to cater to these evolving customer needs," noted Mishra. "Vendors must educate customers on next-generation firewalls, and provide marketing materials to dismiss misconceptions that new technologies are costly and complex deployments."

As smartphones and tablets continue to proliferate in the consumer and business segments and hackers target portable devices, mobile security solutions will become a priority in the Middle East.
