Overview of Argentina’s Oral Hygiene Industry

After 2001 crisis, Argentina’s economy showed an incredible recovery. This led to increased demand in the oral hygiene market which boosted the growth trend. With rising disposable income along with rising GDP per capita, consumers demand for oral care products increased leading to unexpected volume growth, as well as, with positive outlook about the economy, consumers became more certain about their income and started investing in premium oral care products.

Trend Sights Analysis: Product Specificity; Addressing the consumer need to share products, services, and experiences : Ken Research

Addressing the need for greater personalization using more specific product attributes
What? Defining Product Specificity
A counter-trend amid the ubiquity of mass-market products and brands is the search for more bespoke, personalized products and services. "Mass customization" is being adopted as consumer-facing companies seek to capitalize on demand for greater product variety and individualization. Products that meet more personal needs are perceived as offering superior value, and positively impact perception.
Why? Trend drivers

• More individualistic, digitally connected consumers feel empowered to express and act upon their opinions and beliefs by making "identity-related" purchases.
• Global economic development and urbanization in emerging markets is making consumers more wealthy, creating a greater sense of personal entitlement, which is driving self-congruent consumerism.
• Escalating threat of private label products in FMCG is putting pressure on brands to adopt a differentiation Personalization/customization can be both a functional and emotional reason to trade up and can provide a route to premiumization.
• Self-responsibility for health and wellness is driving consumption of products that enable consumers to control their diets more directly to meet their personal health needs.

How? Key take-outs and implications

• Create new, more specific consumption niches, through daypart targeting, and products that are seasonal/holiday-inspired, or target sports/activities or social occasions.
• Be mindful of evolving gender roles in society and break away from gender-biased categories through marketing, formulation, and packaging.
• Focus on niche "hyper-local" references, such as using weather-based marketing.
• Capitalize on consumer's specific avoidance and moderation demands through portion control, low-ABV alcohol, and allergen-free products.
• Report Covers the following  factors
• FMCG trend analysis Report
• Consumer Behaviour affecting FMCG market
• Consumer Habits in Retail Sector
• Product Specificity Trend in FMCG
• Importance of Product Specificity
• Future Trend Growth Product Specificity
• Mass customization trend in Retail

Key Findings

• Just-for-me" product solutions appeal to today's self-expressive and individualistic consumers who reject a "one-size-fits-all" approach to consumption/usage of products. 41% of global consumers believe that customization/personalization claims have a favorable influence on their perception of a product.
• Opportunities exist for manufacturers to create new, more specific consumption niches through day part-targeting, and products that are seasonal/holiday-inspired or target sports/activities or social occasions. Over a quarter of global consumers find a food/drink product that is advertised for a specific time of the day or night appealing.
• Consumers are moderating their intake of products and ingredients to promote healthy lifestyles, spurring demand for innovation based on portion control, offering low-ABV alcohol and allergen-free formulations.

Upsurge in the Global Insurance Industry : ken Research

Economic factors such as the inflation rate, economic conditions, financial market and the rate of economic growth affect global insurance market. The industry promised a significant growth in 2015 in both advanced and emerging economies. The insurance sector is growing rapidly in developing countries in comparison to the developed countries. But this growth is going to be temporary. Health insurance is the most lucrative sector and about half of the global population is under the coverage of various health insurance policies.

Mergers and Acquisitions(M&A)

There has been a surge in Mergers and Acquisitions in the insurance industry in the last year. Mergers and Acquisitions can improve efficiency in providing insurance cover, riders and can benefit insurers as well. This also reduces the risk for the insurer to effectively reduce reinsurance. Mergers and Acquisitions also provide financial support to the insurer. At the time, when insurer has to provide the sum insured to customer, Merger and Acquisition helps. There is a rising trend of Mergers and Acquisition in insurance sector. These Mergers and Acquisitions are engaged in dealing with both life and non-life insurance as well as reinsurance sector.

Trends in global Insurance Market

• Non-life sector has a lower rate of growth in premiums than life insurance sector
• The OECD countries registered positive growth rate in premium in both life and non-life insurance category
• Insurers consider risk pooling as the key driver for growth in insurance market
• Auto insurers are shifting towards usage based insurers which will help them in customer base segmentation and enhance claim handling capabilities
• For processing claim capabilities, insurers are taking help from big data
• There is an increase in use of aerial and digital imagery of the location because visiting the event site is time consuming and risky. Also visiting the site requires time and there will be a delay in process of addressing the claim
• There is an increasing demand for cyber insurance. Most of the companies want to protect themselves from cyber-attacks or threats, it is expected that cyber insurance will become a default choice of many companies. It is another trend that will take the insurance market by force.
• There is a new concept of peer to peer insurance has reduce the cost of insurance, thus many uninsured will buy an insurance policy
• To understand the authentic customer’s risk profile for health insurance and the avoid the incidence of moral hazard, insurers are using mhealth apps

Insurers are developing various applications to keep a track of their customers. They are developing mobile health apps and developing technology of aerial and digital imagery to verify the details of claim made.

This industry requires trained professionals and experts and the problem is that there is a shortage of trained professionals at all the levels in the industry which stymies the full growth potential of the industry.

A positive growth has been witnessed in the global insurance industry showcasing moderate growth in 2015. The global insurance premium grew by 4.0% in 2015 and further expected to post similar growth trend in 2016. There was not much growth seen n world economy last year however 2016 is expected to post strong results in terms of economy growth and development. Non-life premiums took the charge of the growth in the insurance sector whereas life insurance sector under performed.

The overall global packaging industry has been valued at USD 600 billion in 2015 of which the Paperboard Packaging products constituted 42%. The benefits and multiple usages in all the sectors had driven the market of paper board packaging globally. The expanding E-commerce industry, FMCG industry and retail industry had also fueled the demand of paperboard packaging in the world. Additionally, due to rising environmental concerns the government has been encouraging the use of paperboard packaging products which had created the huge potential for the paperboard manufacturers over the past few years.

The paper packaging industry caters the needs of many sectors in the economy such as Food & Beverages, Automobile, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Pharmaceuticals, Durable goods, Tobacco and many more. Rising retail sector in US and robust growth in the e-commerce industry from past five years had driven the market of paperboard packaging industry in the country. In a country like the US where the purchasing power of the people is high as compared to other countries, goods are usually sold in luxurious packaging material which contributes significantly towards the rising demand for paper packaging products in the country.

Ban on usage of non-renewable resources for packaging in the country had increased the demand of renewable resources. Moreover, paper board packaging can be scored, folded, curved and custom die-cut in countless ways. In several states of the US, the plastic bags are banned during the period of 2012-2015. Recently the California state of the US had passed a law of prohibition of plastic bags usage in 2014 and it was implemented from July, 2015. Rise in concern for environmental issues in the country had forced many companies to use renewable raw materials for making packaging boxes.

According to the research report, the paper board packaging market will record revenue of USD 66 Billion by 2020 due to more players entering the market, expansion of e-commerce sector in the country, increasing demand of personal care & health care products, rising retail and consumer goods industry.

“Increasing demand of paperboard packaging in the country had increased its production in the country. The leading and the emerging countries should regularly upgrade their manufacturing plants to increase the manufacturing capacity of the plant. The companies should also establish their own recycled mills and should focus on manufacturing innovative products in the paperboard packaging industry in the country. Due to the increase in demand of raw materials required to make the paperboard packaging products, the companies should form strategic partnerships with the suppliers of the raw materials in the US” according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research .
