Global Diesel Engines Market to Grow 6.7% Annually to 2015

According to the report “World Diesel Engines: Industry forecasts for 2015 & 2020” the global demand for diesel engines is projected to grow 6.7 % yearly to 2015 to $197.5 billion. This represents an acceleration from the 2005-2010 period. Product sales will be driven by a pickup in the production of motor vehicles, particularly medium and heavy trucks and buses. Value gains will also be fuelled by the growing use of more sophisticated, higher value products because of more restrictive emission regulations in a number of areas.

US soft drink consumption rose by 4% in 2011 says new report

The report “USA Soft Drinks Review 2011” US soft drink consumption rose by 4% in 2011, driven by the predicted improvement in the economy. It will take some time, however, for consumers to change the cost saving habits they have acquired during the economic downturn. Filtered water systems, consumed at home and taken from home in refilled bottles, are likely to be one of the major threats in the near future.

Asia-Pacific: Air traffic increase to drive airport construction and renovation in 2012

According to the survey “Global Airports Survey 2012–2013: Market Trends, Buyer Spend and Procurement Strategies in the Global Airports Industry” 66% of all respondents, from companies that operate in Asia-Pacific and 56% from companies operating in the Rest of the World are predict positive revenue growth over the next 12 months, as compared with 47% of respondents from companies operating in Europe and 38% from companies in North America. This disparity is predominantly due to the fact that Asia-Pacific is considered an emerging hub for global economical, trade, and tourism activities, a factor that has encouraged the growth of global air travel within the region.

As a result, many airlines have expanded their routes and several new airlines were established in order to offer diverse flight routes in this region, resulting in increased revenues for airports operating in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2012, this is expected to continue, with new airport construction and renovation expected in order to cater to the region’s increasing air travel volumes.

US: Office coffee services market to grow 3.5% to 2013 says new research

The report “Office Coffee Service in the U.S: Market Trends and Opportunities” provides insight on the challenges and opportunities shaping theU.S. office coffee service market.

The office coffee service (OCS) market is on the rise after slumping during 2008-2010. Sales (including related hot beverage and creamer/sweetener supplies) came close to $4 billion in 2011, and are forecast to grow 3.5% in 2012 and in 2013.

The competitive landscape and consumer trends are transforming the where, how, and what of coffee drinking in the workplace. The report’s survey data shows that among full-time employed daily coffee drinkers who have drunk coffee at work within the last seven days, the office coffee pot remains leader, with 50% drinking an office coffee pot brew while at work. Even so, almost a quarter (22%) drink individually brewed coffee from coffee pods/k-cups, among whom 70% use coffee pods/k-cups supplied by their employer. Moreover, while the office coffee pot is the most common way to get a cup of coffee at work, it is also the option with which employees are least satisfied.

Convincing employers that office coffee service can increase productivity and morale-and thereby justify the cost associated with office coffee service-is key to the industry’s future success. Many employees do use coffee as a productivity booster, and view high-quality office coffee as an important workplace perk. The report’s data show that among coffee-drinking workers, 40% “strongly” agree and 43% “somewhat” agree that coffee helps keep them productive through the workday.
