The Personal Navigation Device (PND) market has witnessed a tremendous growth in the last few years. Demand for navigation systems coupled with aggressive price reduction by the market players is driving the growth of this market. On the other hand, the emergence of low cost in-dash navigation systems and GPS smart phones as an alternate navigation device, along with the commoditization of the market, poses serious threat to the growth of this market in the near future.
Though the number of PND units sold, worldwide, is growing, the average revenue per unit is steadily declining. In order to maintain a competitive edge and differentiate themselves from their competitors, the PND vendors are continuously adding new features to their product offerings. New models with better user interface are being launched to improve information presentation. The vendors are incorporating new product features like automatic speech recognition, digital camera and digital TV to differentiate their products from their competitors.
The report by TechNavio Insights forecasts the size of the global personal navigation devices market (PND) over the period 2008-2012. It segments the market into three geographic regions: Americas, APAC and EMEA, representing the market size and forecast for each of these regions. Further, it discusses the key market trends, drivers and challenges of the global personal navigation devices market and profiles some of the key vendors of this industry.

Smart Water Meters, which has been launched recently in the market, help in identifying and reporting the water consumption data at various levels. The information captured is transferred to a computer based system through wireless communication. Thus, the information can be used for efficient water planning (water restrictions), distributing water usage in peak times (off-peak, peak), capacity planning, use/time based costing (smart tariffs), and better operations management.
The benefits of implementing Smart Water Meters to both the user and utility providers are tremendous. It facilitates faster and more efficient meter reading, theft detection, leaks, remote monitoring, etc, for the provider. The consumers benefit from knowing the usage patterns, low off peak costs, detecting of household leaks, etc.
The market for Smart Water Meters is gaining ground with many governments encouraging its usage. Further, popularity of Smart Energy Meters, climate change awareness and interest from leading IT players in promoting water management are driving the market. Although, at present, the Smart Water Meters market trails behind the market of Smart Energy Meters, it is forecast to gain significant growth rates by the end of 2010 and 2011.
However, there are factors such as high cost, return on investment, availability of infrastructure and low awareness about water shortage problems among consumers that are inhibiting the growth of the Smart Water Meter market.
The report by TechNavio Insights forecasts the size of the global smart water meters market over the period 2008-2012. It segments the market into three geographic regions: Americas, APAC and EMEA, representing the market size and forecast for each of these regions. Further, it discusses the key market trends, drivers and challenges of the global smart water meters market and profiles some of the key vendors of this industry.

With the project pipeline of leading developers being disrupted we forecast huge rent increases for future flagship projects, as retailers seek to expand and battle for the highest footfall in the most appealing locations.

Scope

*Detailed chapters on five core European markets, with analysis of leading players, recent developments, major centres, project pipelines and outlook.

*Profiles of Corio, Klepierre, Sonae Sierra, Unibail Rodamco including in depth analysis of their strengths, weaknesses and future plans.

*Discussion of environmentally friendly strategies: energy generation, conservation and efficiency with case examples from leading EU centres.

*A thorough assessment of the strategies for growth including new formats, new tenant mixes, new locations and other market shaping initiatives.

Highlights

We are seeing the first signs of stabilization after two years of turmoil. For now the race to mark down assets has stopped or at least significantly slowed. Credit markets are slowly returning. In many markets retail sales have seen a decrease in the speed of decline. The overall situation is clearly easing CEE apart.

However the long term outlook remains extremely sluggish and the pace of recovery slow and drawn out. And one has to assess the situation on a case by case basis shopping centre by shopping centre. In the meantime the shopping centre market has become a tenants' market and shopping centre developers will have to deal with limited rental growth.

Due to lower inflation and subdued retail sales, retailers can dictate conditions. The question of rent inflation has made a violent comeback with many retailers renegotiating leases. The threat of bankruptcy proceedings has strengthened retailers' hands. As a direct result of the economic crisis we have witnessed a pipeline extinction.

Reasons to Purchase

*Assess market potential and threats by accessing sector size data and seeing how consumers and retailers have reacted to recent economic turbulence.

*Comprehensive profiles provide essential information on business models and performance, measures both crucial for benchmarking businesses.

*Identify the key trends and issues for shopping centres in Europe and design strategies to exploit opportunities and minimise risk.

In financial markets the availability of borrowings is still very limited to concerns about debt levels and quality of the debt. 20
The main problem though perhaps rests with the consumer and the shift towards discount and value. 20
That said the situation should be viewed on a case by case basis and one should differentiate. 20

Verdict predicts that openings of shopping centres will stagnate for the next year at least - the sector now suffers from overcapacity, there is too much shopping centre space out there. 20
Gloomy outlook for rents 21
Creative thinking needed to combat voids 22
Property revaluations caught in a downward spiral, as falling rents depress the value of assets 23

New media enables better communication 35
More events, gift cards, night shopping 36
Get the basics right 36
Use the internet, rather than develop defensive strategies only 36
Become radical and brutal in retailer selection 36
Strategic issues IV - greening operations 37
Green Issues become ever more important - sustainability 37
Environmental policies such as energy efficiency and sustainability will impact on centre and store design 37
Water and waste management and green transport 37
Energy performance coefficient 38
There is an inherent need to make buildings more energy efficient 38
Sustainability should also affect the tenant mix and more organic retailers should be found in these stores 38
Energy efficiency and greening of retailing needs to be anchored in rental contracts 38
Sustainability will positively influence the value the market is prepared to price an asset by in future 39
Developers implement the green factor 39
Strategic issues V - Eastern Europe 41
CEE caught in the doldrums 41
New openings slow 41
Developments still in the pipeline 42
End of retail boom has created difficulties for shopping centres 44
The deep economic crisis has crippled the once booming shopping centre trade in CEE 44

Financials 88
Shopping centre portfolio 90
Outlook - focuses on extensions 91
Risks appear manageable 91
Buying or developing new centres is more risky 91
Decentralized management looks right 91
Specialised retail focus 91
Staying at home 91
In terms of financing the insourcing of redevelopment and the increasing of the dealflow by an active acquisition and selling policy together with a policy of a maximum of 20% investment in emerging markets should get Corio through the worst. That said we do not know what the quality of the outstanding debt obligations is that Corio has to serve. It seems also prudent not to get too overexposed to emerging market volatility, one lesson perhaps from the crisis of 2008/09. 91

Shopping centre portfolio 112
Recent trading 112
Outlook - tough 113
Insulated against downturn 113
Acquisition potential 113
While retail sales - much dependent on consumer confidence - will remain weak, there is better news provided by inflation which we expect to remain low. This will make servicing outstanding debts easier for the company and with a relatively low LTV ratio - especially compared with UK players - this will leave room for Unibail-Rodamco to hunt for attractive takeover targets in the EU's shopping centre market. 113
Development continues 113
Extensions lower risk 113
Extensions and redevelopments of shopping centre assets account for 31.0% of the retail development pipeline. Key projects being studied include a 40,000 sq m extension of Cerný Most; a 10,000 sq m extension of the Rennes-Alma shopping centre in Rennes, France, which the group acquired in 2007; a major redevelopment and extension of Parly 2 and a value creation project for Shopping City Süd in Vienna. Redevelopments and extensions are a lot safer than completely new centres as management knows the key business fundamentals of their locations. 113
