China Engineering Plastics
On the basis of products, during the period 2008-2013, PET was the largest segment which dominated the entire engineering plastics market of China. The segment had contributed 52% to the overall market revenue during 2013. The segment is expected continue to dominate the overall market since China is the largest consumer of packaged foods of which PET has its most of the applications. PBT consumption is increasing at a substantial rate but polycarbonate is still consumed the most, making up about 50% of the total engineering plastics consumed. This growth was led by its use in construction, water bottles, food manufacturing, telephones and computer housings. ABS segment, conversely, was the second largest market of China engineering plastic industry, owing to vast applications in automotive, electrical and electronics segment which escalated at a considerable growth rate.  Polyacetal was the smallest segment of the engineering plastics market in China, which contributed just ~% of the overall revenue during 2013. This insignificant contribution resulted on account of heavy dependence on imports, coupled with lower development of Polyacetal applications in China. In the coming years, the Polyacetal resin market is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR during the period 2014-2018, with revenue reaching USD 900 million by 2018.

 “With the rapid growth in China’s manufacturing industry, chemicals industry as well as plastics industry, more applications and higher consumption of plastics has been attained over the last couple of years. Polycarbonate Engineering plastics, in particular have become the fastest growing plastics resin products owing to their outstanding performance and considerable surge in demand from end user industries ‘’ according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research.

India ATM Managed Services Market
The ATM industry in India is rapidly transitioning from the traditional methods of ATM operations into the internationally accepted ones. Companies operating in other sectors in India as well as abroad are eyeing the Indian ATM managed service and outsourcing market since the market offers immense potential.

While during 2008 and 2009, the transaction based model gained momentum, the revenue of the managed service market grew robustly till 2011. In the year 2012, bids for the deployment of ATMs for Public Sector Banks (PSBs) were invited. This period dampened the growth of the market since service providers quoted very low fee per transaction. Out of the 63,000 ATMs that were to be deployed, only 30,000 were actually deployed since it became difficult for companies to make the contract possible after bidding low. The ATM managed services and outsourcing market is as of now witnessing decent growth, which is expected to continue, at least in the short run.

It is estimated that INR ~ million was generated by service providers under the ATM managed services model, while INR ~ million under the brown label ATM model in FY’2014, which increased to INR ~ million and INR ~ million respectively during the period April 2014 to October 2014. The ATM managed services market can be further sub-divided on the basis on fixed pay model and variable pricing model. Although the fixed pay model has traditionally dominated the market, transaction based pricing is increasingly being resorted to by banks. Reasons behind the same being more quality service delivery on part of the service provider and overall cost benefit to the bank. In terms of revenue, INR ~ million was generated by service providers from the fixed pay model, while INR ~ million from variable pricing of ATM managed services from April 2014 to October 2014.

The cash management market in India is concentrated with the top four players capturing nearly ~% of the market. CMS Info Systems has been the clear leader in the cash management market since several years and commanded ~% share in FY’2014 with revenue of INR ~ million.

The business of ATM outsourcing has been growing exponentially in India as the ATM industry continues to move from banks’ managed ATMs to end to end deployment by service vendors. Managed services companies are increasingly venturing into the ATM deployment space, backed by private equity funding from investors. The managed services and outsourcing market is characterized by high level of competition. Market presence of the players tends to fluctuate as contracts for ATM management are entered into and expire within an average of 4-5 years.

Major players operating in the ATM managed services and outsourcing business include Prizm Payments, Tata Communications Payment Solutions, AGS Transact Technologies, Financial Software and Systems (FSS), Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) and Others.
From the period FY’2015-FY’2019, it is anticipated that the complete outsourcing ATM market will grow robustly at a CAGR of 34.3% and contribute ~% to the overall revenue of the ATM managed services and outsourcing market by FY’2019. Furthermore, it is believed that in the long run, completely outsourced ATMs will take over the ones under managed services, since cost benefit to the bank under this model is greater as compared to the managed services model.
