Niche Insurance - UK - October 2008
Price Published by Mintel International Group Ltd,
US $ 3000 Hard Copy
US $ 3000 PDF by E-mail (Site License)
US $ 4500 PDF by E-mail (2 Site License)

The development of the niche insurance sector reflects increased diversity among the UK population, as
financial products no longer conform to a one-size-fits-all approach. Emerging social, technological and
economic trends provide a platform for insurers to develop and launch new products in order to meet these
continually evolving requirements. Niche insurance is not a cohesive financial market, but a highly
fragmented and specialist sector, with differing market drivers, challenges and a variety of providers and
distributors.

The main challenges faced by the sector are similar to those faced across the financial services industry -
mainly consumer understanding and awareness - although niche insurance products are also forced to
compete for attention alongside a plethora of mainstream insurance products. Indeed, the overlap provided by
some of these products has undoubtedly limited the uptake of niche insurance products among consumers.
However, Mintel' s consumer research reveals that only a quarter of adults are confident that they have
adequate insurance cover, suggesting that some sectors of market have considerable scope for expansion.

This report examines a range of products that fall within the broad definition of niche insurance, as well as
the issues impacting the wider insurance market. It considers the main drivers, market conditions, market size,
main players and recent developments for several niche insurance products. Mintel' s exclusive consumer
research is used to obtain an overview of niche insurance product ownership, consumer attitudes and
potential targeting opportunities.

Marketing to Tomorrow's Consumer - UK - October 2008
Price Published by Mintel International Group Ltd,
US $ 3390 PDF by E-mail (Site License)
US $ 3390 Hard Copy
US $ 4890 PDF by E-mail (2 Site License)

Mintel' s 2008 British Lifestyles report, published in March 2008, looked at the potential winners and losers
from the economic downturn, and at its effect on household budgets at the time of publication. This report
takes a more detailed look at how consumers are coping with current economic circumstances, focusing on
their attitudes towards their own finances and the economic situation in Britain. It looks at the coping
strategies that consumers are adopting to deal with changed circumstances, and at ways in which companies
can benefit by helping consumers to steer their way through the economic gloom.

Extensive use is made of quantitative research commissioned by Mintel specially for this report, and carried
out in June and August 2008 by BMRB International Ltd among a nationally representative sample of 991
adults aged 15 and over. The findings are compared, where relevant, with research commissioned by Mintel in
February 2008 for the British Lifestyles report.

Further insights are provided by qualitative research commissioned by Mintel for this report, which took the
form of two focus groups, conducted in the South of England in early September 2008. The composition of the
groups was as follows:

Group 1: Younger (Pre-Family and Young Family)


・Four men, four women Four pre-family adults aged 25-40 with no children Four family adults with children
aged under 16 years
Group 2: Older (Older Family and Post-family/Retired)
・Four men, four women
・All aged 50-plus, with no children under 16 living at home
・Some with children aged 16-plus living at home, some with no children at home
・Some working, some retired

Baby and Nursery Equipment - UK - October 2008
Price Published by Mintel International Group Ltd,
US $ 3000 PDF by E-mail (Site License)
US $ 3000 Hard Copy
US $ 4500 PDF by E-mail (2 Site License)

The baby and nursery equipment market' s potential customer base is tightly defined and finite: prospective
parents and parents of babies and very young children, as well as their friends and family. It is a staged
market, with consumers needing different equipment at different times depending upon the child' s
development. It is therefore critical to get marketing, promotion and product development right within this
very small window of opportunity.

The ongoing increase in the use of the internet by consumers has led to multi-channel retailing becoming
essential. Whilst using the internet to find the best deal, consumers still like to ‘touch and feel' the products
they are buying. To deal with the potential impact of a reduction in consumer spending, retailers need to offer
the right choice of products, at the best prices, with exceptional service to maintain customer loyalty, whilst
also withstanding growing pressure on margins.

Online Holiday Shopping 2008 Preview
Price Published by eMarketer
US $ 695 PDF by E-mail (Single User License)

eMarketer estimates that online holiday season sales will reach $32 billion in 2008, up 10% over 2007.
Although a decline from growth rates seen over the past few years, it is better than the nearly flat growth rate
that analysts expect for the overall retail industry this holiday season.

The Online Holiday Shopping 2008 Preview report analyzes the impact of the economic downturn on the most
important sales period for many Internet retailers.

In a season of economic bad news, online retailers have reason to be guardedly optimistic.

More than ever, in order to save money on holiday gifts, consumers will turn to the Internet to get gift ideas,
find bargains and locate retailers that stock desired products. Shoppers will shift a larger share of their
purchases from stores to the Internet to save gas money and avail themselves of retailers' free shipping offers.

E-commerce sites that help consumers find good deals - or cater to less-price-sensitive customers - will be this
year' s holiday winners.

Key questions “Online Holiday Shopping 2008 Preview” report answers:


・What is the outlook for online holiday sales this year compared with recent years?
・How is the economic crisis likely to affect online shopping behavior this holiday season?
・How are online retailers preparing for the challenges they face this holiday season?
・Which retail Websites stand to benefit from the economic crisis?
・And many others…..

2008 Business Monitor Survey, Part 2: Branding, Bundling, and Channels
Price Published by IDC
US $ 4500 PDF by E-mail (Single User License)

This IDC study discusses the vast majority of businesses that - be they big or small - prefer to buy their
monitors directly from a vendor' s Web site. A retail store placed a very distant second, followed by an
online-only shopping site. Channels is just one of the topics we cover in this study, the second of two studies
based on our recent survey of 475 highly influential business buyers. Other topics include branding, bundling,
and recycling.

"In an increasingly volatile market, to find success, vendors need to continue to promote brand awareness,
offer bundles where appropriate, and make sure their products are available in the channels where buyers are
most likely to purchase them." - Tom Mainelli, senior research analyst, PC Monitors service

"Monitor vendors are facing tough times with shipments waning in the United States; the key to prospering in
a difficult market is understanding exactly what business monitor buyers want." - Tom Mainelli, senior

Holiday centres are collectively investing millions of pounds upgrading accommodation, facilities and
restaurants and are reaping the rewards. Butlins reported a boom in bookings over the August holiday peak
season, expecting some 150,000 guests across its seaside resorts. The rising cost of family holidays in
Eurozone countries coupled with the convenience of shorter travelling time (with airport use being avoided)
has boosted this market resurgence.

Although occupancy levels and demand are high, particularly for the more upmarket offers, for the elusive
non-customer, the message has not yet got through. For two in five a holiday centre holiday is rejected out of
hand and holidays abroad still triumph. The challenge for holiday centres is to host events or experiences to
lure consumers in to raise awareness of modern day holiday ‘camps' .

Key report topics:


・What do the holiday centres perceive to be their markets, now and in the future?
・Are they really winning market share from abroad?
・What is their share of the domestic market?
・How are individual brands performing in terms of guests/occupancy?
・What product and promotional innovations are occurring?
・Are centres focused on on-site attractions or do they promote the local area?
・How do holiday centres compare financially with other UK holiday options?
・What are centres doing to target non-family markets?
・How can holiday centres win more of the family market?
・How can they win custom from other areas?
・What is the potential for study breaks/business conferences etc?
・Can centres escape - or even profit from - the credit crunch?

codec support. The study incorporates current data and 2008-2012 forecasts for MP3 player and portable
media player (PMP) unit shipments and value sales.

"Besides the overly high price, the absence of legitimate content is another restriction of PMP market
development, while free online content services will be inhibited by uncertainty over content protection and
piracy", says Bryan Yuan, Senior analyst, Vertical Industry Research and Consulting Team, IDC China. "The
availability of legitimate digital entertainment content will increase the demand for downloads, which will

The Spanish market for household fresheners is estimated to have grown by 51% between 2003 and 2008, to
reach ? 235 million. While growth continues, it is decelerating as the market becomes more mature. Sales
continue to be led by slow-release fresheners, accounting for two-thirds of total market value, with electrical
plug-ins particularly popular amongst Spanish consumers.

While further growth is forecast, the current depressed economic climate is set to favour own-labels and
discounters, which will have an adverse effect on market value.

US demand to increase 7.2% annually through 2012


Demand for cosmeceutical products is expected to increase 7.2 percent per year to $9.4 billion in 2012,
propelled by a stream of new and technologically advanced product introductions offering age-defying and
other appearanceenhancing benefits for an aging population. The rapid growth of the cosmeceutical market
will continue to be based on a combination of science and astute marketing, with evidence regarding product
claims far from conclusive in many instances.

Limiting opportunities will be competition from alternative treatments, such as laser resurfacing and cosmetic
surgery, which often offer more dramatic results, though at a greater cost in terms of time, money and safety.
Cosmeceutical products also face intense pricing competition due to the growing market penetration of
private label cosmeceutical brands and the rapid commoditization of innovative ingredients and products.

Skin care products to remain dominant segment


Skin care products will account for over 60 percent of all cosmeceutical product demand in 2012. Anti-aging
products will achieve above-average growth, with gains driven by a highly receptive, fastexpanding group of
middle-aged and relatively affluent consumers who want to prevent or redress visible damage to the skin
caused by aging, ultraviolet radiation and other environmental stressors. Improved formulations will further
promote the use of age-defying products. Injectable products to see fastest growth

Heritage Tourism - UK - October 2008
Price Published by Mintel International Group Ltd,
Please contact us for pricing
While many heritage sites rely mainly on day visitors for their custom, the vacationing UK holidaymaker is
also an important component of the audience mix. Research conducted for this report shows that nearly two
thirds of the population have included a heritage attraction while on holiday in the past year.

But as the range of leisure and entertainment options has increased, heritage attractions are finding
themselves competing in a climate where ‘experience' is all. It means a fundamental transition that takes
heritage from the realm of ‘education' and towards ‘educate and entertain' . In this changing landscape,
storytelling, themes and context are now central to the visitor experience.

This report focuses around traditional heritage attractions, and how they' re visited in the UK and overseas.

Main report themes:


・What are the background travel and tourism trends impacting on the demand for heritage in the UK and
overseas?
・How is the current economic downturn likely to impact on the demand for travel?
・Who/what is the heritage audience while on holiday in the UK and overseas?
・What are the attitudes and perceptions about heritage attractions?
・Where are the lines of resistance to visiting heritage attractions?
・What are the main heritage attractions in the UK and in Europe' s main destinations?
・How are heritage attractions innovating to attract visitors and improve the experience?

Young adults-those between 18 and 34-represent 30.9% of all adults in the US and over 70 million customers.
The segment is among the most ethnically diverse in the US, comprising 26% of the white population, but
33.9% of all Hispanics and large portions of the black and Asian segments of the US population. This
generation is on the leading edge of the trend toward multiculturalism.

While this segment is a potentially lucrative target for many companies, it is also complex and must be
examined carefully. As such, this report addresses a variety of questions regarding large-scale product
development, brand building and communications efforts:

・What are the typical living arrangements of young adults?


・What type of lifestyles do young adults lead, and what leisure activities do they prefer?
・What are the average checking and savings account balances of young adults?
・What proportion has a credit card, and how much credit card debt do young adults typically have?
・What are the annual expenditures of young adults in various product categories?
・Where do young adults prefer to shop?
・How are 18-24s distinct from 25-34s?
・How do the spending patterns of various race and ethnic groups differ?
・How are advertising firms currently pitching to the segment?

Western Europe MFP Installed Base, Page Volume and Supplies Forecast,
2008-2012
Price Published by IDC
US $ 6400 PDF by E-mail (Single User License)

The installed base for MFPs will increase over the forecast period. Annual shipments will increase during this
period, adding to the installed base. Revenue opportunities will exist in many areas, especially in the color
market where the amount of color pages being printed is increasing in line with demand for color products.
Color MFPs use more toner cartridges than monochrome devices and this is a key reason why vendors are
pushing new color products onto the market.

According to Phil Sargeant, research manager, IDC, "An important aspect to profitability for the vendors isn' t
just the amount of hardware they have installed, but also the way in which those machines are managed.
Users are demanding increased ROI from their hardware. They require more cost savings, efficiency, and
accountability, and those vendors failing to offer any of these qualities will lose out to those vendors that do."

UK Electricals Retailers 2008
Price Published by Datamonitor
US $ 3255 PDF by E-mail (Single User License)

Overview
Introduction
Verdict Research: Over the last 10 years there has been an explosion in the volume of electricals goods owned
by a typical household with consumers enthusiastically bought into each wave of new technology. However as
the economic climate deteriorates, home technology is an obvious area to cut back on and retailers need to
work much harder to sustain footfall and sales.

Scope
・Market size, sales and growth rates to 2008 for the electricals market overall and for seven subcategories
・Comprehensive profiles of all significant UK electricals retailers including Argos, Asda, Comet, DSGi, Game
Group, Jessops, John Lewis and Tesco
・2003-2008 market share data for all major sector participants
・Space allocation data for all key retailers for 28 product categories
Report Highlights
In 2008, sales of computer games and software are set to increase by £1.4bn - more than the total lift in the
electricals market of 3.9%, and making it the third fastest growing sector after food & grocery and health &
beauty. However, with gaming excluded from the market, electricals sales will fall by 2.1% in 2008.Sales of
large white goods are likely to fall by 7.7%, which by following on from a 3.5% fall in 2007 will reduce sales
to levels last seen in 2001. With the housing market unlikely to stage a recovery until 2010, retailers are
reducing their exposure to the category and reallocating space to growing categories. In 2008 the market has
suffered from a much lower level of innovation with few significant product launches. Instead retailers are
having to rely on upgraded versions of existing products such as larger screen and slimmer HD TVs and
larger capacity games consoles and MP3 players.

About this report


Falling penetration levels and frequency of use, combined with manufacturers reducing their promotional
spend and NPD, have all taken their toll. Value sales growth of household fresheners has halved in 2008. Yet
household fresheners remain the fastest-growing sector of the household care market, with those who do buy
fresheners trading-up to high-tech plug-ins and luxurious scented candles and timed release.

Key themes of the report:


・Household fresheners as lifestyle accessories to create a mood or ambience.
・Increasing competition from multi-functioning cleaning products that also fragrance the home.
・Growing demand for natural and environmentally-friendly products.
・Increasing technological sophistication featuring multi-fragrance plug-ins and motion detectors.

About this report


The total adult fashion accessories market, as defined by this report, was worth just over £1 billion in 2007
a 37% increase on 2003 and up by 7% on 2006. Growth has been largely driven by women' s handbags, and
women' s accessories accounted for 70% of the sector' s sales in 2007.

While growth in the market will continue to be driven by women' s accessories, including handbags, there are
new trends that will add greater dynamism into the market scarves are very hot this autumn, and hats, for
both men and women, are increasingly popular.

While the squeeze on disposable income continues, accessories should be largely insulated from this. Their
role in updating consumers' fashion look, in adding individuality for a relatively low financial outlay (or an
investment in stylish longevity), as well as being great for gifts and easy to buy online, means that consumers
should feel confident and guilt-free about continuing to buy.

Main report themes:


・Will accessories be able to escape the consumer spending downturn?
・Why some product categories are hot or not, and what can retailers do about it?
・Consumer purchase motivation: price is crucial, but ' self-treating' is the prime influence.
・Despite strong growth in the sector in 2007, many consumers were still not buying how can retailers
motivate them?
・How can specialist retailers maintain their destination status, and how can non-specialists extend and
enhance their ranges?
・How is online shopping a key opportunity for the fashion accessories sector?

Verdict Research: UK Womenswear Retailers 2008 provides a comprehensive examination of the key issues
facing the sector and strategies to overcome these and thrive. It also profiles the 10 leading retailers with
trading records, operating statistics, store, space and advertising data and outlooks for each.

Scope

・In depth profiles and outlooks for the Top Ten retailers including 10 year sales and space performance,

・Unique market analysis identifies and quantifies market segment trends.
Highlights
The womenswear sector faces a challenging period as growth slows and costs rise. The 19.4bn market is
moving away from the high volume, low price model to one of higher price points and lower volumes.
Retailers must adapt their propositions to this trend in order to survive.Growth in the value sector is slowing
and the premium end of the market is making the largest gains. Premium retailers with strong branding are
making the greatest gains while the midmarket has continued to suffer, losing £478m between 2003 and
2008.The importance of having the correct format and location strategy to match positioning has become even
more crucial. The failure of many womenswear retailers in 2008 has been driven by these two factors.

This IDC study (which is a translation of the Japanese report IDC #J8090107,) analyzes the Japan business
market based on a survey of IT managers in Japan, conducted in March 2008. Data used in this study are
based on the results of this survey. Annual data values used until 2007 are actual values while data after 2008
are forecast values. All data were updated in March 2008.

"It is difficult for PC vendors to gauge the situation in the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market
because of the complexity of the sales routes and the existence of many companies. Commercial work
application products are usually used in the SMB market. Thus, PC vendors will do well to collaborate with
packaged application vendors so that the latter can come up with effective proposals with greater ease in the
SMB market," said Hirotoshi Asano, senior market analyst, PCs, IDC Japan.

Masahiro Katayama, PCs, group manager, IDC Japan points out, "The Japan PC market shipment units in
2H07 finally gained positive growth over the previous year. The home market was becoming depressed over
demands due to the influence of the Beijing Olympics was feared but signs of replacement demand picking up
came into view in the business market. It is necessary to consider the portfolio of the PC product that regards
family structure to rouse demands for this mature home market.

The strategy unifying both products and personal PCs that is able to consolidate information inside a home is
necessary. Without this strategy, just by promoting low price will not lead to rousing the home market."

・Detailed rationale
・Proposition to key stakeholders
・Retail model & pricing
・Developer community and API
・New way to distribute web services
・Infrastructure requirements
Subject Area
This report describes a radical but workable solution to the key problem faced by the recorded music industry
which is how to distribute music content over the internet in a way that ensures the industry is properly paid.

Report Content
The report begins by setting out what could be termed a ' general theory of virtual music' Ten core concepts
are outlined and their implications and significance explained in detail.

The report then explains System-V in detail, first by clearly covering the proposition to the three key
stakeholders (the music industry, the technology industry and consumers) and then by looking at topics such
as pricing, the retail model, usage rights and the user experience.

In the next section, the infrastructure needed to support System-V is explained in detail. The four key system
components are identified and explained in detail: music files, software, developer community and
administration.

In particular, the developer community section of the report presents a remarkable vision for how System-V
would catalyse the development of a new class of web services which would be distributed by users themselves
using the music files as the distribution vehicle.

and portable PC categories are tracked, and their growth rates and shipment numbers are estimated. This is
part one of a two-part study examining the addition and removal of interfaces within PCs.

"Historically, when average selling prices for notebooks were high and consumers purchased mainly desktops,
the commercial market segment dictated trends in the notebook market. From an interface standpoint, this
generally meant including only interfaces that were tied to specific uses and maintaining their presence over a
long period of time due to legacy concerns by the conservative commercial client base. With the growth of the
consumer notebook market, a greater array of interfaces are available and being added to notebooks,
allowing OEMs to differentiate their PC offerings and develop usage specific systems." - Richard Shim,

Driven by strong demand in the consumer market, worldwide notebook PC shipment volume is estimated to
remain robust in 2009 and continue to grow in coming years. In 2008, shipments to the North America and
Western Europe still account for the largest share of Taiwanese industry' s notebook PC shipments but the
growth momentum slows. The replacement effect of Netbook PC over mainstream Notebook PC is expected to
accelerate. This report also finds that Netbook PC shipment volume is anticipated to hit over 10 million in
2009 and that notebook PCs featuring built-in LED light, Blu-ray disc drive, and 16:9 aspect ratio display
will likely become mainstream.

Men's Fragrances - US - October 2008

The total fragrances market in the U.S., which encompasses both men' s and women' s fragrances, grew
steadily until 2007 and estimated 2008 sales. Within this industry, the FDMx men' s fragrance market reflected
a steady decline due to a range of challenges facing the market including cannibalization due to a
proliferation of personal care products with scents as well as flagging interest in celebrity scents. This report
analyzes these points, along with the following:

・The higher market share of colognes over gift sets, though gift sets are increasing in sales
・The retail territory, in which department stores lead the overall market and drug stores top the FDMx market
・The rise of other fragranced products, such as deodorants, that make males wary of using too much
fragrance even more hesitant to layer on any additional scent
・How celebrity fragrances factor in, and how companies are trying to rework the celebrity "formula" to make
it work
・The newness factor in men' s fragrances that makes this market look less bleak than that of women' s
fragrances

Holiday Spending in the U.S.: Spending on Gifts and Charity

Americans love to celebrate and holidays create a reason to rejoice and reflect and spend time with loved ones.
Along the way, an estimated $133.6 billion will be spent on festivities in 2008, across the six largest holiday
spending occasions. While Americans love to spend all year round, holidays give people a reason to shop and
to celebrate. For many shoppers, the Winter Holidays represent their major annual spree and in 2008 it is
estimated that 58% of holiday spending dollars will be attributed to Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza.

Holiday Spending in the U.S. covers spending for Winter Holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza)
Valentine' s Day, Easter, Mother' s Day, Father' s Day, and Halloween. Trends in consumer spending and gift
giving are discussed throughout this report, and for that reason, non-gift giving occasions such as
Thanksgiving and July Fourth are excluded, whereas Halloween, because of its marked growth in popularity
and consumer spending, is included.

Because they are a reflection of how Americans choose to spend their money in terms of broader causes,
contributions to charity are also reviewed.

Sources and Methodology


Holiday spending estimates were compiled from more than 10 sources that released holiday spending
projections. These include the Conference Board, the International Council of Shopping Centers, BIGresearch,
and the Consumer Electronics Association. These sources were benchmarked against each other, and
compared to retail sales during the holiday periods under review.
