The Internet of Things Phenomenon

The UK government is to spend an extra £45m on research for the development of “internet of things” technology as it hopes to lead the new industrial revolution alongside Germany.

Speaking at the CeBIT technology trade show in Germany on 9^th March,  UK Prime Minister David Cameron said that the UK government would pledge more than double the current funds available to UK technology firms, working on devices that can communicate over the internet. This additional £45m of funding brings the total pot to a whopping £73m!

Providing it with the simplest of definitions, “Internet of Things” refers to devices that can sense aspects of the real world – such as temperature, lighting, the presence or absence of people, etc. – and report or act upon that real-world data. At present, most data on the internet is being produced and consumed by people. It is about making information increasingly produced and consumed by machines. For example - an internet connected water pipe can automatically warn of a drop in pressure. It is hoped that this technology will provide a means of boosting productivity, keeping us healthier, making transport more efficient, reducing energy needs and even tackling climate change.

The Prime Minister hopes for the UK and Germany to lead this new “industrial revolution”:

"I see the internet of things as a huge transformative development - a way of boosting productivity, of keeping us healthier, making transport more efficient, reducing energy needs, tackling climate change," he said.

"Take British ingenuity in software, services and design, add German excellence in engineering and industrial manufacturing and together we can lead in this new revolution."

US research firm Gartner forecasts the market to be worth $300bn by 2020, with nearly 26 billion devices connected to the internet of things.

British Army Restructuring and its Wider Impact on The Global Ammunition Market

Fiscal deficits in Britain are affecting all divisions of the public sector, with budget cuts across the board. A contentious issue widely discussed in the news and within parliament at the moment are the Coalition’s defence cuts, which include a major restructuring of the British Army where 20,000 regular soldiers will be replaced with 30,000 army reservists. The public are unhappy with the consequent redundancies, and MPs, Tory’s in particular, are worried that regular soldiers are being sacked before reservists are properly trained, and therefore able to cope.

The worry is that if a large-scale military threat occurred in the future then the UK would have far less resources than it’s used to, and we would suffer because of it. This “New Army” is made up of a root army with an adaptable force made up of soldiers from the Territorial Army. The British Army will not be able to fight in two different countries again, like it has done simultaneously in Iraq and Afghanistan. The focus will be instead on intervening at an earlier stage with the aim of avoiding conflict, with a specialist security assistance force that will send small teams of soldiers to advise and keep the peace. The question is whether the Territorial Army will be able to rise to this challenge, and how exactly the budget cuts in Britain will have a wider affect on their place within global defence.

Military shifts are occurring across the globe as countries hit hard by recession are forced to scale back, and developing countries begin to establish their military presence. These changes are affecting the global defence market, influencing the forecast for how the market is set to evolve over the next ten years. The Industry Report Store has just released an essential new report which details the latest market research intelligence and forecasts for the global military ammunition market between 2013 and 2023. The report predicts how the market is expected to grow or change, with comprehensive market forecasts due to factors such as military modernisation, budget cuts and the effects of troop reduction initiatives.

The need to maintain sufficient inventory of ammunition for militaries worldwide and the increasing demand for training ammunition is anticipated to have a positive impact on the demand for military ammunition. Additionally, modernisation initiatives that are being implemented in most major defence spending countries and are focusing on the upgrade of existing firearms and induction of new advanced models are also expected to encourage spending on military ammunition. The impact of military modernisation on the ammunition market is most likely to be witnessed prominently in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil and Russia which are spending significantly on enhancing capabilities of their ground forces by inducting state-of-the-art small arms, howitzers and mortars.

This report outlines crucial information  including which regions will account for large shares of the market and the reasons behind their increased spend, for example strong economic growth and domestic unrest. Specific trends, like which sectors are being invested in, as well as larger more general trends affecting the market as a whole are carefully analysed and explained. The technological and market trends, as well as factors such as development and industry challenges also feature throughout the report. For example, how will western austerity measures change how countries consolidate with one another? This report is vital for those looking to keep their business strategies in line with the latest research, and effectively understand their target market.

Airport Retail - An Attractive Investment

As global affluence rises and an increasing number of us travel on a regular basis, whether for business or pleasure, airports are exploiting this growth in any way they can. It’s an astute way for airports to increase revenue that is entirely separate from its aeronautical origins. A previously untapped market, airports are now seen as a shopping destination in their own right. It can almost be seen as a luxurious experience, an extension of the trip, with hosts of expensive brands in one succinct destination. There is the added allure that the traveller is aware they must buy the product now, because once they cross the boarding lines there is no going back.

Most of us know what it’s like to shop in an airport. The liquid items you forgot about in your hand-luggage are confiscated and you are left bereft, thirsty and without deodorant for a long-haul flight. Luckily, there in front of you is a shining saviour, a Boots store, filled to the brim with handy travel sized bottles. You forget about the fact that they might be slightly more expensive than in your local store, because you are flooded with relief to have found a way to replace your toiletries...and oh look, there’s a book shop, you could do with something new to read for the flight...

Then there is the food; Dozens of different restaurants and cafes which boast hot, delicious food. It’s a well known fact that aeroplane food is either expensive or inedible. It’s as if the airlines are in cahoots with the airports: ‘Let’s make our aeroplane food as hideous as possible, and then set up restaurants selling glorious, over-priced food just outside the boarding gate, so they are drawn like bees to the honey...’ It’s either a very fortunate coincidence or a stroke of retail genius on the airport’s behalf. All we know as consumers is that we’d much rather eat a hot, cheesy croissant from Pret before a flight, than a cardboard tuna sandwich which tastes suspiciously like nothing on the plane.

We infrequent travelers are simply novices at airport shopping compared to business travelers. They fly all around the world, seeing airport after airport, and they know the difference between eating fresh Mongolian barbeque from Tansu Kitchen at Dubai International Airport, and a stale Sub of the day at Luton Airport. With most business travellers generally earning a high wage, airport retailers are vying for their attention. Expensive perfumes, designer clothes, duty-free alcohol and cigarettes all equal big bucks that translate to revenue, and when passengers have time and money, they will shop.

As airport retail is gaining prominence, it is now seen as a very attractive investment opportunity by retail companies seeking to expand business operations and drive growth. What these companies need are the facts. They want data and in-depth analysis informing them exactly who is buying what, the reasons behind purchases, and the details about which category of retailers are earning the most revenue. This is where the Industry Report Store comes into the picture. A new report examining the trends in the way business travellers spend in airports around the globe is being offered exclusively to our customers.

It explores the business intelligence that is invaluable to companies looking to invest in airport retail. What are the most popular and visible products? What categories generate the most revenue? Do business travellers prefer to spend their money on duty-free alcohol or in the restaurants and bars? This report outlines these facts in exhaustive detail. It blueprints the key findings, including product trends and motivational factors as well as identifying the leading airports in retail. This knowledge analyses the target market, informing airport retail companies in order to keep their business strategies in line with the latest market research intelligence.

If you wish to learn more about this report then contact the Industry Report Store. We have a comprehensive database of reports so if this blog piqued your interest but this particular report isn’t quite what you’re looking for, then don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll work together to find a report to suit your business intelligence needs.
