Rising Significance of Fitness and Reducing Subscription rates to Foster Growth of Brazil Fitness Industry: Ken Research

The BrazilFitness Industry will continue to grow over the next few years with the increasing instances of obesity, rising significance of appearances in daily life, and improving economic conditions in the country. However, the unstable economic and political conditions of the country are anticipated to restrict the growth rate for the industry. Revenues from the Brazil fitness industry are expected to expand to over USD 5 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of ~% from 2015 to 2019.  
The industry is expected to witness greater demand from cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where the maximum numbers of fitness centers are established and a majority of the urban and middle class population resides. The rising health issues accompanied with rising awareness about fitness, the sedentary lifestyles, new forms of fitness activities and lower subscription rates by the fitness centers would drive the industry forward.



In terms of individual markets, the Brazil fitness services market has been the major contributor to the revenues of the Brazil fitness industry. The fitness equipment market has complemented the existence of the services market. A rise in the fitness centers would lead to a rise in the demand for fitness equipments hence increasing the size of the industry. The launch of innovative forms of maintaining physical fitness in the fitness services has also attracted a lot of subscribers. However, a large part of the Brazil fitness services market is unorganized. The organized chains comprise of a very small part of the market.
The fitness equipment market in Brazil receives a boost with a rise in the number of fitness center subscriptions and the number of centers as well. Additionally, people have started keeping equipments for workout at home as well. Equipments such as treadmills and dumbbells are extensively used at homes. The fitness equipment market is dominated by the domestic brands of Brazil.
With the economic conditions improving, the industry is expected to witness stable growth rates further. The overall industry which comprises of fitness services and equipment market is expected to reach a CAGR of ~% from 2015 to 2019. However, it is predicted that the industry would experience a decline in the CAGR from the previous years. This is due to the lack of obese people willing to join fitness centers in Brazil and the slow economic recovery of Brazil. The increase in the concentration of obese people further would present itself as an opportunity to be tapped by the fitness industry.
“Brazil is the world’s second largest fitness industry in terms of number of fitness centers. With the increasing number of international sports events being conducted in Brazil and the rise in the instances of obesity and related health issues such as diabetes and hypertension, the fitness industry would play a major role in the country. Use of poor quality second hand equipment, upcoming trend of video on demand services for exercising and the poor investment climate serve as the major drawbacks for the industry.”, according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research.

Demand for High Specification Rigs and Increase in Deepwater Drilling Activities to Shape Market Potential for Middle East Oilfield and Drilling Services: Ken Research

The upstream companies operating in Middle East sought jackups rigs with more specifications so as to drill more efficiently and optimize the costs of operations.
Rigs with enhance technical capability and better safety standards were demanded by the operators so as to drill at more depth and in challenging environments. Deterioration in the production levels from the existing fields and quest to explore new sources led to demand of high specialization rigs in the market. Drilling rig manufacturers like Lamprell received various orders for building up of new high specification jackups. Reduced levels of production from the existing fields, day rates of the jackups and other factors contributed to build up an environment suitable for the drilling contractors to operate at good profit margins. Increased demand of rig specification jackups with the drilling capability of more than 350 feet of water is required. Saudi Aramco and other major NOCs of Middle East planned several deepwater drilling projects to keep up with the production levels of future and to keep up with the crude oil supply in case of disruptions in the market.
Middle East possesses a vast potential of offshore discoveries to be made of large hydrocarbon reserves. The production in Middle East from large onshore and shallow water reserves started to decline which led to enhance the offshore deepwater and ultra deepwater production defined by drilling at least 1,000 ft below the sea level. The global capital expenditure in deep water E&P activity was USD 41.6 billion in 2014 and after Asia, Middle East is expected to see the fastest growth in deep water exploration and production spending. Drilling and completion followed by the subsea equipments shall form the major part of the Deep Water E&P segment. With increased E&P spending in the deep water and ultra deep water, OFS providers as well as the drilling equipment providers are anticipated to face challenges in terms of designing, deploying and operating related faculties and platforms in safe and profitable manner. An urgent need of ultra deep water rigs and facilities will enhance the OFS and drilling services market. Various seismic bids are already under review in several countries in Middle East with large offshore potential. Several contracts have been awarded for deep water and ultra deepwater exploration in Middle East. The deepwater and ultra deep water market requires continues supply of better technology and infrastructure which provides a great opportunity for the OFS providers and drilling equipments providers to enhance their productivity.
According to an industry veteran, “The drilling services industry will be dominated by the drilling rigs especially the jackups followed by other drilling tools and products. The crude oil slump has definitely impacted the demand of the oil and gas drilling services. However the condition is likely to improve in the years to come as the price of the commodity shall be stabilized.
The Research Analyst, at Ken Research recommends that the players operating into the drilling and oilfield services have to enhance their E&P expenditure.  Moreover, as per the scenario, most of the wells in the Middle East are drilled onshore. However, as the companies are projected to venture into the offshore markets, the offshore applications of these techniques are likely to witness an increase especially in the regions like UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman where the onshore drilling market share is anticipated to deteriorate.

The report titled Middle East Oilfields and Drilling Services Market Outlook to 2019 provides detailed overview on the oilfield and drilling services market and will help oilfield service companies and drilling service providers which help in the extraction of oil through offshore and onshore drilling operations. Moreover, the report will be helpful for the government to assess the potential of Middle East region, energy and oil companies and other stakeholders to align their market centric strategies according to ongoing and expected trends in the future.
