Subdued construction growth and macroeconomic headwinds, combined with questionable economic measures put in place by the government, are having a detrimental effect on the country's commercial real estate sector. Construction industry growth will remain under 2% under 2016; however, there are projects in the pipeline that give us hope the sector can recover. Office space is a particular bright spot, especially in Cordoba and Buenos Aires, and this segment is arguably keeping the real estate sector afloat. Overall, however, opportunities for growth are limited and will be continue to be so until the economy picks up.

The migraine market is saturated with generic drugs, and the remaining branded products already on the market are expected to lose exclusivity during the next few years, with the exception of Botox for chronic migraine, which is expected to maintain its leading position in terms of sales. However, reformulations of mature products as well as new classes of therapies are anticipated to launch during the forecast period and these will contribute to the market growth. By 2023, the migraine market will grow to $3.7 billion at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%, with the US continuing to dominate the market as a result of higher drug prices and a large migraine population. Some of the new treatments are expected to target the key unmet needs but opportunities will remain for further treatment choices especially drugs that will offer an improved safety and side-effects profile.

Saudi Arabia's power sector is set to register significant growth over our ten-year forecast period to 2023 as the kingdom moves to realise some of the Middle East's most ambitious power generation capacity expansion plans. Our optimistic outlook is not only underpinned by the sheer scale of Saudi Arabia's ambitions for its power sector, but also relatively robust macroeconomic fundamentals and the fact the country is attempting to meet surging demand for electricity from a young and rapidly growing population. Further, with Saudi Arabia holding one-fifth of global oil reserves, it is also endeavouring to alter its oil-heavy power generation mix to preserve its outsized role in global oil markets. This aim is perhaps the biggest driver of Saudi energy policy and underpins efforts to diversify the energy mix to utilise greater volumes of gas, as well as nuclear, renewables and the implementation of energy efficiency measures.

Canada's position in the global grain market was reinforced in 2012/13 owing to better-thanexpected wheat and corn production and in a context of tight supply from other major producers. For 2013/14, the country's position has been stronger at the start of the season, when it was competing with the US and Europe, but has lost strength, as it is now competing with eastern Europe. We believe the Canadian beef and pork industries will gain the most from having signed the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement in October 2013. The dairy management system, however, could be under pressure.

Vietnam's reliance on imported drugs (both generic and patented) will continue to provide ample commercial opportunities for foreign drugmakers. However, the population's concerns over drug quality means that only companies with relatively positive branding are likely to succeed in the Vietnamese pharmaceutical market. In addition, downside risks for foreign generic drug manufacturers include free trade agreements and the government's aim to promote locally produced drugs.

Finally, the increasing number of...

Saudi Arabia's mobile market had grown beyond maturity as the country's mobile operators continued to build their subscriber bases. The latest data show that this trend is ending and we expect operators to focus their efforts on building revenues from existing subscribers. BMI has observed a number of developments that show operators are keen to build revenues on the back of growing demand for data and content, a strategy we believe will provide long term market value growth. While subscription numbers are expected to slow significantly, the value of subscribers will increase according to BMI's forecasts.

Many consumers sought special prices and discount offers in order to cut costs, and bought only products which were really necessary. To some extent internet...

Growing real disposable incomes resulted in stronger purchasing powers and improved consumer confidence in 2013, which in turn fuelled private spending on all categories of home care products.

An important proportion of home care growth was created by laundry care, which is the...

Grocery retailers in Slovakia witnessed a difficult year in 2013 due to stagnating demand. The performance of grocery retailers was driven by the increasing prices of grocery products.

The global financial crisis in 2009 had a negative impact on the Mexican travel and tourism sector during the review period (2009-2013). Economic conditions improved and, in 2010, the tourism sector showed signs of recovery, with growth recorded in domestic and international tourist volumes. Timetric expects the growth to continue over the forecast period (2014-2018) as international arrivals rise, driven by increasing tourist volumes from the US and Canada. The Mexican government's efforts to improve tourism and transportation infrastructure and the tourism board's efforts to promote Mexico as a leading tourist destination will support the upward trend in tourist volumes.
