Eyewear as Fashion Accessories in Switzerland: Ken Research

The rise in the ageing population in Switzerland created awareness of the importance of better eye care in the general public. Long working hours at the computer and the frequent use of digital devices contributed to eyesight deterioration in many people in Switzerland. It was observed that the eyewear market is saturated with stiff competition of many brands along with falling prices has reduced the growth in the eyewear market. Spectacles market is sure to rise moderately over the coming years compared to the contact lenses that might saturate in the future. The daily disposable lenses in contact lenses segment will growth steadily due to the convenience they offer consumers.
The prices of eyewear are much higher in Switzerland compared to the neighbouring countries. This trend encourages consumers to hunt for cheaper eyewear products. Majority of the Swiss consumers take advantage of the strong Swiss franc and the weak Euro, and thereby avoid optical shops in Switzerland. Most of the Swiss population cross the border into neighbouring countries for affordable eyewear products. The rapid expansion of optical shop chains in Switzerland has intensified eyewear products competition. Online retailers have also strengthened their presence and offered many offers and rewards. Therefore, independent opticians faced immense pressure in the eyewear market and sales.
Switzerland eyewear is dominated by multinationals or leading European companies due to the trust and high quality. These leading companies invest huge funds in research and development and launch innovative eyewear. The other competitors in Switzerland eyewear remain fragmented with small manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, agents and buying groups. The leading competitors in Switzerland eyewear shops are Visilab, Fielmann and McOptiK. These companies established a strong aura national wide in eyewear with self-manufactured and self-branded products. Majority of the optical shops hold the largest share of eyewear distribution in Switzerland but face stiff competition from online retailers who offer products at extremely low prices. There is a stiff competition between optical chains and online retailers which will lead to a drop in prices and suppress the growth of eyewear market.
Global Eyewear MarketA moderate growth is observed in the sunglasses market as the growing demand for sunglasses explains development of innovative, effective products and designs along with improved living standards of consumers. Global technological advancements have encouraged manufacturers to introduce sunglasses with innovative functionality. Oakley, a leading global vendor in sunglasses has introduced innovative lens technologies like Prizm. These lenses provide ultra-precise colour tuning, and are designed for specific environments. Latest sunglasses are equipped with built-in speakers by Zungle Panther which uses the bone-conduction technology and Bluetooth audio playback allowing consumers to listen to music and make phone calls by transmitting sound waves to skull using vibrations. Increased awareness about harmful UV radiations among global population demands for branded sunglasses and positively affects the growth of the global eyewear market. Luxottica, Safilo, Essilor, LVMH, and Maui Jim are the prime vendors in the global sunglasses market. Polarized sunglasses are in high demand as they provide higher visibility and comfort, especially for people who are light-sensitive, reduce eyestrain, and display colours properly.
According to the research report “Spectacles in Switzerland”, most of the Swiss consumers prefer spectacles as fashion accessories. Eyewear frames receive special attention with the design, colour, shape, size along with brand playing an important role while purchasing. The current fashion trends and the opinions of fashion leaders, blogs, bloggers and social media also help in the growth of eyewear market. As fashion accessories, spectacles are expected to enhance the personality and individuality of the consumer. This trend encourages the consumers to purchase new eyewear though the old eyewear is still usable.

Technology to Assist Completion of More Japanese Water Projects In The Future: Ken Research

Japan is a country which is known for constructing infrastructure efficiency within the targeted time period. Japan is that stable in terms of water infrastructure construction currently that it is also planning to help Cambodia for designing their water infrastructural projects in an efficient and effective manner.
In ancient times, some piped water supply system had been manufactured using wood pipes in Japan and back in 1887, through surface water (which was treated by sand filter), the first modern pipe water system was launched in the country. After Second World War, there had been an increase in the pipe water supply due to a rise in water-borne diseases like cholera, dysentery and typhoid and today, the country is able to meet all kinds of innovative water infrastructure construction needs.
According to the report, “Water Infrastructure (Construction) in Japan: Market Analytics by Category & Cost Type to 2021”, Water infrastructure category is categorized under construction of utility and drinking water treatment and infrastructure of storage and distribution. Aqueducts, distribution lines, irrigation system, desalination plants, filtration plants and reservoirs, etc. are included in water infrastructure. This category excludes hydro power plant as well as dam construction.
For formation of a modern state, the rapid economic growth in Japan’s investment and construction in water infrastructure have played a significant role. All these construction and related developments have been done with the aim to achieve improvement and growth in the living standards of Japanese. Many developments have taken place in water infrastructural market recently and there is an arising need for more enhancements in the construction as Tokyo will be hosting the next Olympics.
To get prepared for successful Olympics in Tokyo, it is very important for the country to assess present conditions of existing infrastructure and projects to be undertaken in future. It is important to identify whether the infrastructure is still serviceable or not. It is very crucial to make sure that there would be no water shortage in the coming Olympics in Tokyo. This is one of the major concerns for the government of Japan because during summer Olympics in 1964, there had been a water shortage in Tokyo and the city was called “Tokyo Desert”.
Various technologies have been already developed and some are still developing to extend the life of pipeline. Sonic waves are been used to inspect the techniques and Sewage Pipeline Renewal (SPR) method is also used for pipeline. SPR is also used to renew agriculture water pipes and industrial waste water pipes without replacement. In future, there will be demand for improved water infrastructure at low prices. There are still many challenges in making decisions regarding water infrastructure in Japan.
In the forecast period, more development and construction completions are expected till 2020. There will be amelioration in the efficiency levels of water supply mainly because of the coming Olympics in Tokyo. Also, companies investing in water infrastructural construction as well as the government are working towards developing new innovational techniques that will help the market advance well on a whole.

Ghana to Witness a Positive Spur in Telecom, Mobile and Broadband Sectors: Ken Research

Ghana is one of the first countries in Africa to deregulate and liberalize its telecommunication sector. Import duty on mobile services had been reintroduced by Ghana's government. Mobile, internet and fixed line sector increased rapidly, after privatization of Ghana Telecom in 1996. The privatization was done by providing license to new players so that they offer services.
According to the report, “Ghana - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Digital Media - Statistics and Analyses”, there had been a reduction in cost of access to broadband services after the arrival of two submarine fiber optic cables in 2012 and 2013 and also the international bandwidth significantly increased after this arrival. Currently, Vodafone Group has been the second largest player in the mobile services segment and it is the principal fixed line provider and owner of Ghana Telecom. Even, Westel has prolonged to be the member of one of the leading mobile operators in Africa. Provision of access to ISP's on a cheaper rate on wholesale basis by Google is being done. Also Google has to build a fibre network that covers major cities. National fiber backbone networks, combined by other development will continue to revolutionize the countries broadband market by numerous players to pave way to technologies and services.
In Africa, the most vibrant mobile network market has been Ghana regional MTN, Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and Millicom formely Zain and Tigo which are the top most competitive operators. By the late 2015, an increase in the subscriber growth and lower average revenue per user due to extensive competition was noticed. Therefore, it gets difficult to analyze regular revenue growth by a particular operator. Anyway, there is growth in mobile data ARPU and subscriber addition in voice market with enormous potential in mobile broadband services. A wide variety of internet connection is accounted by mobile broadband and the future for the same is bright as well.
Ghana being the first country to get connected with internet in Africa and launch DSL services as well has been very competitive but most of the subscribers are of some specific players. Earlier there was poor connectivity to internet with slow speed in national fixed line network with high cost as well. But after the introduction of 3G mobile and wireless broadband technology like HSPA and WiMAX, there has been an increase in the speed as well as more convenience is being offered to customers that is helping in the increasing the customer base.
In eastern and western corridors, the government has invested in building fibre infrastructure. By expanding the retail and wholesale offering, the reprivatized national carrier, Ghana Telecom has been effective in driving the broadband market as well. In the years to come, Ghana is sure to proliferate in all sectors majorly in mobile and broadband with ameliorating processes and procedures.
