Agricultural films are gaining importance with the advent of high technologies in agriculture and emphasis on higher productivity per hectare. High growth in global population is one of the biggest challenges for the agriculture industry, which has led to increased focus on agricultural productivity. The major purpose of using agricultural films is high sustainable production on limited arable land. The use of agricultural films for controlled agriculture has helped in increasing the yields on the limited arable land with limited irrigation water. The three major applications of agricultural films are greenhouse, mulch, and silage.

The arable land is decreasing gradually with drastic increase in urbanization. Controlled agriculture becomes important in order to utilize significant resources like water for irrigation in an optimum manner. This is consequently increasing the importance of controlled agriculture in greenhouse, high tunnel, and mulching.

The report segments the global agricultural films market with respect to applications - greenhouse, silage and mulch, polymer types - low density polyethylene (LDP), linear low density polyethylene (LLDP), and high density polyethylene (HDP), EVA/EBA, Reclaim, and others and by geography - North America, Asia, Europe and ROW.

The applications market is further studied with respect to its sub segments which include greenhouse- Classic greenhouse films, Macro tunnels/walking tunnels and Low tunnels and floating covers, silage- Silage stretch films, Silage sheet and Silage bags, mulch- Transparent or clear mulches, Black mulches and others.

Agricultural films is a billion dollar market which is expected to reach $7.1 billion by 2017 at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2012 to 2017. Currently, greenhouse films and mulch films are the major application segments which are expected to boost the global market.

Biosimulation Market Estimated To Reach $1.2 Billion by 2017: MarketsandMarkets

The process of identifying a drug molecule and developing it into a potential therapeutic has moved from the lab to the computers. Many softwares and models are being widely used in drug discovery and development process. Even though pharmaceutical companies have integrated biosimulation technology in their drug discovery and development process it is predominantly used as a decision making tool. Clinical trials of new drugs are being conducted on simulation models to determine the sample size and effective outcome of the drug. Using virtual patients instead of clinical research patients can save both time and money for pharmaceutical companies in their pursuit for new drugs.

New analysis from MarketsandMarkets estimates Global Biosimulation market to reach $1.2 billion by 2017 at a CAGR of 18.5%. Santosh kumar analyst from MarketsandMarkets says “Biosimulation is expected to grow exponentially in the coming decade, driven by advancements in the field of systems biology and computational biology”. Analyst also quotes, “Pharmaceutical companies have realized the importance of biosimulation over other new technologies, as the future of R&D process would be based more on translational research than the conventional research”.

North America is the major market for biosimulation and has been driving the global market significantly. Since most of the existing drugs are going off patents, search for new cost-effective drugs is expected to bolster the growth of biosimulation in these regions. Europe is the second major market for biosimulation products mainly driven by support of government regulatory bodies which is promoting the use of biosimulation in drug discovery and development process.

Emerging economies in Asia for example China and India are witnessing tremendous increase in the number of pharmaceutical companies and CRO’s. Due to these developments, biosimulation market in these economies expected to grow moderately in the next few years.

Biosimulation Technology Market is highly competitive with many companies trying to capture market share with their niche capabilities, offering products and services to pharmaceutical companies. Use of biosimulation by pharmaceutical companies has been largely restricted to drug development which contributes to more than 60% revenue to the global biosimulation market. The main challenge to effective use of biosimulation is it has not been regulated. In addition to that lack of success stories has restricted the pharmaceutical companies to use the technology effectively. Several pharmaceutical companies have established their own biosimulation groups which have not been effectively utilized. Also, the current research landscape for biosimulation based drug discovery is fraught with other challenges. For e.g., companies employ scientists all over the world for their research work and coordination among these scientists for better modelling and simulations requires time, cost and expertise. Therefore, it is necessary that pharmaceutical firms come forward to collaborate with biosimulation solution providers to create successful models which will aid in new drug discovery and development.

This report studies the global neurointerventional devices market over the forecast period 2012-2017.

Neurointerventional procedures refer to special kind of endovascular procedure within the vessels of the brain or within the spinal cavity, utilizing minimally invasive techniques, imaging guidance, and special microcatheters (thin tubes), guide wires, and small instruments to treat stroke and other neurological disorders. Neurointerventional procedures can be performed through different techniques such as neurothrombectomy procedure, cerebral angiography and stenting technique, and coiling procedure. These techniques are almost mutually exclusive and applied for definite clinical symptoms of neurological disorders.

The neurointerventional device market encompasses neurothrombectomy devices (suction/aspiration device, clot retriever, and snare device), cerebral angiography and stenting system (carotid stent, and embolic protection system), aneurysm coiling devices (platinum coil, liquid embolic agents, and flow diversion device) and support devices (microcatheter, and microguidewire).

Gradual technological evolution, growing ageing and obese population, rising patient pool for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures are the major drivers that are slated to propel this market. Growing GDP and healthcare allocation are making developing countries in Asia and Latin America affordable to adapt novel medical practices for obtaining better treatment outcome. Upcoming clinical trial data is favoring the interventional procedure over neurosurgery as it offers limited hospital stays, minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues, lesser chances of infection in post-surgical phase, minimum surgical trauma and lesser surgical scar.

The major players operating in the market are Covidien, PLC (Ireland), Stryker Corporation (U.S.), Johnson & Johnson (U.S.), and Penumbra, Inc. (U.S.).
