Description

Description: 
6-May-2009, Pages-18
The growth of the healthcare industry in South Africa is keeping pace with the government's efforts to strengthen the healthcare system and make healthcare services more accessible to the citizens. Apart from the public spending on health, the sector has been considerably benefited from the inflow of foreign aid to control the pandemic diseases. Further, the public sector is concentrating on improving primary care in the country and developing the infrastructure of healthcare institutions, to provide healthcare services in remote areas.
The need to improve the efficiency of services and quality of care and also to reduce healthcare costs are pushing healthcare facilities to implement IT applications. The basic IT applications include; electronic medical records, hospital information systems, networking applications, health decision-support systems, and Telemedicine solutions, used for providing remote diagnostics. In addition, since the current healthcare system has not attained sustainability, implementation of IT would support the expansion of its reach to remote areas, along with a move to a digital health platform.
The development of wireless networks, to reduce the digital divide between the rural and urban areas, has enhanced the delivery of healthcare services. Several healthcare programs such as Project Masiluleke, introduced by the government and NGOs are increasingly using wireless services to provide services in remote areas. Moreover, improved broadband access and availability of cost-effective software solutions is boosting the uptake of information and communication technologies in the healthcare sector.
The report by TechNavioTM Insights forecasts the IT spending of the Healthcare Industry in South Africa for the period 2008-2012. It discusses the market segmentation of this industry based on the IT spending, and also highlights the IT sales opportunity in the Healthcare Industry in South Africa. Further, the report discusses the market trends that characterize this industry.

Retail Industry in North America - IT Market Assessment

Description

Description: 
24 November 2008, Pages – 12
After a steady growth for the last two decades, the retail industry in North America experienced a negative growth in 2007, which can be attributed to the subprime crisis and the gradual slowdown in the US economy. The slowdown can be attributed to the high-energy prices and the prevalent credit crunch following the sub-prime market crisis. However, this is expected to be a temporary phenomenon and sales are expected to pick up from 2009-10 onwards.
A large number of Americans prefer to purchase online and this trend is observed in the retail industry as well. The growth in e-commerce is due to change in the buying habits of customers. With decrease in cost of computers and increase in its usage, it is expected to increase substantially in future. The growth in sales through e-commerce route also reflects that more retail companies are moving to sell online.
The median age in North America is well above 35 years. This factor, coupled with the fact that the baby boomers are approaching the retirement age, could prove detrimental to the growth of the retail industry. Usually spending habits reduce with age and an aging population shows marked dislike towards visiting malls and using technology. These demographic factors could play a crucial role in the retail industry’s growth in the coming years.
The report forecasts the IT spending of the Retail Industry in North America over the period 2007-2013. The report highlights the market trends, growth drivers and restraints in the Retail Industry in North America. Further, the report discusses about the IT spending & forecast of this industry and also talks about the regulations that affect the IT spending of the Retail Industry in North America.

Retail Industry in Latin America - IT Market Assessment

Description

Description: 
24 November 2008, Pages – 11
Traditionally, grocery has dominated the retail industry in Latin America – with Latin Americans spending a significant portion of their income on food items. The consumption pattern in the Retail Industry in Latin America is changing rapidly. With the economic development and increase in purchasing power, the customer focus is shifting from household consumption to personal consumption.
Further, the markets with comparatively higher purchasing power like Brazil, Chile and Mexico are dominated by organized retail chains, which control about three-quarters of the market. For example - in Mexico, many mom-and-pop shops which enjoyed market share of as high as 77% for some massive consumption items have been forced to either close down or relocate by huge retail chains like Wal-Mart.
Organized retail is developed in only a few countries in the Retail Industry in Latin America. As people in other countries of Latin America gain purchasing power, big retail companies would be entering these markets too and setting up their establishments. They would require setting up their IT infrastructure to support their business in these new markets. Consequently, IT infrastructure and networking companies would gain business opportunities.
The report forecasts the IT spending of the Retail Industry in Latin America over the period 2007-2013. The report highlights the market trends, growth drivers and restraints in the Retail Industry in Latin America. Further, the report discusses about the IT spending & forecast of this industry and also talks about the regulations that affect the IT spending of the Retail Industry in Latin America.
