Global Cosmetic Procedures and Products Market - Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2013 – 2019


Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on “Cosmetic Procedures and Products Market”. This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure. Cosmetic procedures include elective surgical as well as nonsurgical procedures performed to reshape normal structures of the body. These procedures and cosmetic products are carried out to improve appearance of an individual thereby boosting self-confidence and self-esteem. The global market for cosmetic procedures and products is expanding both in terms of value and number of procedures performed annually. Several industry experts quote that ageing population, growing acceptance of cosmetic surgery, and interest of people for aesthetic reasons are the prime factors responsible for the market growth.
The global cosmetic procedures and products market is segmented into two major segments, namely, surgical procedures and nonsurgical procedures. Major surgical cosmetic procedures include breast augmentation, lipoplasty (liposuction), blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), abdominoplasty, (tummy tuck), breast lift, gynecomastia treatment, otoplasty (cosmetic ear surgery) and breast reduction. Breast augmentation and the lipoplasty (liposuction) have been the top two popular cosmetic surgical procedures. The FDA’s decision in 2006 to reintroduce silicone gel breast implants in the market has improved the number of breast augmentation procedures over the years. These procedures are comparatively costlier than the nonsurgical cosmetic procedures and therefore rely on the insurance coverage. Hence, the market was affected to some extent due to financial uncertainty during economic crisis of 2009. However, the resurging economy is expected to the market again and will help in growth of overall cosmetic procedures and products market.
Non surgical cosmetic procedures include cosmetic injectables, skin rejuvenation and other procedures such as laser hair removal, sclerotherapy, and laser treatment of leg veins. Globally, the injectable cosmetics constitute major share in the nonsurgical segment and include botulinum toxin type A (Botox and Dysport), calcium hydroxyapetite (Radiesse), collagen, hyaluronic acid (Hylaform, Juvederm, Perlane/Restylane) and poly-l-lactic acid (Sculptra). Skin rejuvenation procedures include chemical peel, dermabrasion, fraxel, intense pulsed light (IPL) laser treatment, and noninvasive tightening.
The Americas and Europe have always been the main market for these cosmetic procedures and products over the years. These two geographies are youth-focused and more emphasis is on aesthetic looks of an individual. Additionally, the technological advancements in the medicine and surgery field are enabling surgeries to be non-invasive and less painful which is driving the market to further level. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that in 2010 Americans spent approximately USD 10.7 billion on cosmetic procedures of which more than 60 percent was contributed by surgical procedures. However, it is imperative to mention here that number nonsurgical procedures carried out annually are far more than the surgical procedures, but are less in terms of value (money spent). Furthermore, the number of women who opt for cosmetic procedures, have always outnumbered the number of men who choose these procedures. However, the dynamics of the market are changing these days with more men adopting cosmetic treatments for reasons such as high degree of competition at workplace, and growing awareness about obesity. The cosmetic surgical procedures for men include gynecomastia treatments, breast reduction, male facelifts, male brow lifts, and male tummy tucks.
Some of the major companies in the global cosmetic procedures and products market are Allergan, Inc., DermaMed USA, Fascia Biosystems, LLC, Genzyme Corporation, ExcellaDerm Corporation, Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, Suneva Medical Inc., BioForm Medical, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Cutera, Inc., Q-Med AB, Dermik Laboratories, Genesis Biosystems, Inc., IRIDEX Corporation, Lumenis Ltd., Candela Corporation, Anika Therapeutics, Inc., Mentor Corporation, Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc., Cynosure, Inc., Solta Medical, Inc., among others.

Single Point Anchor Reservoir (SPAR) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2014 - 2020

Single Point Anchor Reservoir Market
SPAR is a type of floating oil platform which is generally used to carry out offshore drilling activities in ultra deep water regions. It is a vertical floating platform which is moored by a semi-taut mooring system. A SPAR platform comprises of a large diameter and a single vertical cylinder that supports the deck. The cylinder is filled with a material which is denser than water and lowers the centre of gravity of the platform and provides stability. The cylinder is normally located at the bottom of a chamber. They are anchored to the sea bed by way of the spread mooring system through a chain wire or by a chain polyester composition.


SPARs are segmented on the basis of their types such as cell spar, classic spar and the truss spar. Cell spar comprises of a large central cylinder which is surrounded by small cylinders of various lengths. At the bottom of the long cylinders is the soft tank that contains the heavy ballasting material which is almost same as that of a truss spar.

Presently, only one cell spar is in operation worldwide. Truss spar contains a short cylindrical hard tank in comparison with a classic spar and has a truss structure connected at the bottom of hard tank. At the bottom of the truss structure lays a relatively small square shaped soft tank that contains the heavy ballasting material. Majorly, truss spars are generally used to carry out offshore drilling activities of this type. The classic spar comprises of the cylindrical hull with the heavy ballast at the bottom of the cylinder.

The torso of the SPAR platform is further segmented into four divisions. Besides, from the uppermost portion that is visible over the surface of the water, there are other three components that demarcate the entire construction of the spar platforms; first component provides the required buoyant thrust to keep the platform raised above the water’s surface. The second segment of the platform provides the storing facilities required to store the extracted crude oil. A third section of the platform provides the required ballasting to carry out drilling activities. Thus, it helps in the construction to be solidly moored while providing better stability especially from tides and harsh water.

Neptune spar was the first spar designed for carrying out oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico. It was installed in September 1996 by Kerr McGee. The world's deepest production platform is Perdido, a truss spar installed in the Gulf of Mexico with a water depth of more than 2,300 meters. It is owned by Royal Dutch Shell Plc and was manufactured at a cost of USD 3 billion.

Emerging economies, growing population and rapid industrialization are some of the key drivers of the single point anchor reservoir (SPAR) market. However, high costs and long time required to manufacture the single point anchor reservoir can hamper the growth of the market. The ample amount of opportunities lies for single point anchor reservoir owing to a large number of upcoming drilling projects in offshore regions.

Some of the key players in the business of SPARs are Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries Co.Ltd, Teekay Corporation, SBM Offshore N.V, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Technip S.A and Bumi Armada Berhad among others.

Hydrographic Equipment Market - Global Industry Analysis, Trends And Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on "Hydrographic Equipment Market". This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure.

Hydrographic survey is a process used to measure and describe the bodily features of oceans, seas coastal areas, lakes and rivers. The equipments which are required to do such surveys are known as hydrographic equipments. The main goal of hydrographic surveys is to ensure safe maritime navigation. Sometimes the term hydrographic surveys and maritime cartography are used synonymously; however maritime cartography is the final process of hydrographic surveys and is used to convert the raw data collected in hydrographic surveys to pull out some useful information. Hydrographic surveys are done under some rules which may vary according to the accepting authority. In hydrographic surveys measuring depth is not as difficult as compared to knowing how far the survey boat is from the coast when the depth is measured.


The hydrographic equipment earlier consist primarily of a GPS (Global Positioning System) with a built in radio and Omni directional antenna, a Helmsman display for navigation, dual frequency depth sounder, a computer, a plotter, and a hydrographic system software for underwater data collection. An onboard generator is used to supply power for the equipment. The shore equipments include a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver of same type. The Global Positioning system and the antenna are placed over a survey tripod. Due to vast area of sea, radio boosters are used to boost the signal strength. The Global Positioning System is connected to the satellites for receiving information. 

The modern surveying relies more on the software than hardware. In shallow water areas echo sounders such as LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) are used with equipments placed on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to conduct hydrographic survey. Data collected is stored and processed in computer for use in navigational charts, digital terrain model, topographic measurements and bathymetry. Data collected should be free from errors and is displayed as the charts which are made by using special CAD (Computer Aided Design) software such as AutoCAD. The use of hydrographic surveys is to measure the information related to maritime navigation, marine construction, dredging, offshore oil exploration/drilling related activities, maritime engineering, and harbor management. In these surveys a strong emphasis is given to find information related to shorelines, tides, currents, seabed depth and submerged obstruction that may affect the maritime navigation.

Increasing prices of oil and gas due to high demand, safety concerns among the sailors and shipping companies, government policies encouraging oil and gas explorations, advancements in hydrographic equipment technology are likely to drive the hydrographic equipment market in near future. Cost associated with carrying the hydrographic surveys and time taken to conduct hydrographic can act as the main restraint to the potential growth of hydrographic equipment market. Being an uncontested sector with high rewards the opportunities in hydrographic equipment markets are forecasted to be good in near future.
Some of the key players in Hydrographic Equipment market are Valeport, Seafloor Systems, Kongsberg Maritime AS, Hydro International, Teledyne Marine and Raytheon Company.

Barge Market-Global Industry Analysis, Trends And Forecast, 2013 - 2019


Transparency Market Research Reports incorporated a definite business overview and investigation inclines on "Barge Market ". This report likewise incorporates more illumination about fundamental review of the business including definitions, requisitions and worldwide business sector industry structure.

Recent oil discoveries in Venezuela and West African countries coupled with increasing investments pertaining to the development of small ports and canal systems have fuelled the barge market globally. Many leading barge manufacturers have achieved record earnings driven primarily by strong marine fuel sales. Barge manufacturing companies are revamping their barge facilities to add more production slots. Today numerous shipping companies maintain a fleet of barges for moving materials of varying sizes from large ships.


Segmentation of the barge market can be done on the basis of technology, applications and geography based on both manufacturing facility and end user locations. Depending upon the technology employed, barges may be classified as unpowered or powered barges. The unpowered barges move according to the water current or use a tugboat to drag it across the water channels. In this case both the first mate and the captain remain in the tugboats, as the tugboat provides power and steers the barge. On the other hand powered barges are self propelled and do not require a tug boat’s assistance. On self propelled barges the captain and the first mate are on the barge itself. 

Although power barges are costlier than their counterparts but they act as a faster mode of transportation. Power barges are moored in the harbors and may have a self contained step-up transformer. Gas turbines or diesel is used for the start-up operations. Some recently built power ships are fitted with used reciprocating engines and a large bore dual fuel diesel engine that runs on heavy oil. According to the application areas, barges are classified as dry bulk cargo barge, liquid cargo barge, jack up barge, hopper barge, paddle barge, crane barge, splitz barge, and others. Barges are used today for transporting low-value bulk items, as the cost of hauling goods using a barge is very low. The barges may also vary in size according to the size of the cargo they carry.
Regional segmentation of the overall barge market can be done based on both manufacturing facility and end user locations. Some key barge manufacturing regions are the North America (United States), Europe (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, Russia, and Norway), Asia Pacific (China, Thailand and Australia) and Rest of the World (Brazil, Venezuela and South Africa). End user countries include the North America (United States, Canada and Mexico), Europe (Russia, India, and Japan), Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Rest of the World (Venezuela).

Cheap transportation costs, heavy dependence on crude oil, easy inland transportation, large carrying capacities and versatility (in terms of cargo carried) are some of the factors likely to drive growth in the barge market. Self-propelled barges are costlier, while non powered barges are slower which may prove to be a restraint to the barge market. New oil discoveries, increase in size of ships and construction of new smaller ports has made it difficult for the ships to enter into these ports, hence bolstering the opportunities for the barge market.

The Barge market is fragmented in nature, with several small companies and private barge owners competing for market share. Some key players in the barge manufacturing market are Kirby Freeport, Marine systems Included, Greenbrier Company, Ingram Barge Company, Bowcrest Marine, KBH Marine Industry Sdn.Bhd, Navios South American Logistics Inc., and Ultrapetrol Limited and others.
