Noodles noted a strong value growth in 2013 and thus continued its positive development in the Netherlands. In the review period, the rise of noodles was often explained by the fact that foodservice in the Netherlands is struggling. Instead of ordering takeaway or home delivery of Asian food, Dutch consumers would prepare noodles themselves. But in 2012, Asian foodservice providers showed healthy growth, whilst retail noodles continued to rise too. Since there are a lot of Asian cooking shows...

Other pet food continued to perform well in 2012, with total volume and current value growth rates surpassing those recorded the previous year for the second year in a row. This improvement was underpinned by robust growth in the other pet population, with busier lifestyles and rising urbanisation encouraging more and more Chileans to keep birds, fish, small mammals and other pets that required less space and were easier to care for than dogs and cats. New launches and improvements in...

2013 was a good year for retailing in India as income levels increased for much of the Indian population. Improvements in the economy encouraged consumers to spend more, benefiting non-grocery retailers particularly. Furthermore, improvements in the availability of a wide range of brands from luxury goods to basic private label products gave consumers more options to choose from and also boosted awareness of particular brands and products, supporting growth across retailing during 2013.

Gum is acquiring a new image shifting from a recreational product to more of a functional product used to freshen the breath, especially among middle-income and high-income consumer groups. This is one of the principal contributing factors to the growth being recorded in gum in Kenya, a trend which is likely to continue develop during the forecast period and beyond, in what is becoming an increasingly image-conscious society. The predicted current value growth rate for 2013 is 7%.

Snacking habits continued to aid the improvement in overall value growth of sweet and savoury snacks in 2013.Eating small snacks in between meals and during tea breaks are common among consumers, especially for those who work long hours and do not have time to prepare proper meals. In addition, it is also common for consumers to eat snacks while watching television, football matches or even during house parties. As such, sweet and savoury snacks is set to register current value growth of 4% to...

While many aspects of the Finnish telecoms market appear to have reached saturation, BMI still identifies a number of opportunities for operators in the market. Wireline, in particular, has seen growth slow right down, with 2013 growth of around 3% in broadband subscriptions. Fixed line telephones continue to rapidly decline, with little hope for a rebound or even a slow down expected in the near term. Growth in the mobile market dipped below 2% in 2013 compared to 2012, reaching penetration of 181.9%, one of the highest in the region. We therefore see content, data and the provision of these services through next-generation technologies as key to the market's development. Fibre optics in the wireline sector are growing slowly but steadily and can be used for the provision of IPTV and other over-the-top content, which we see becoming an important driver. For mobile operators, the auction of 800MHz spectrum will undoubtedly help in delivering 4G services across a wider coverage and continued generation of income from mobile data. Backed by high spending ability of Finnish consumers, we continue to remain bullish on these opportunities in the Finnish telecoms market.

According to a study named "Money Laundering" conducted by the Congress, roughly US$10.0 billion was laundered in Mexico during 2012, which represented slightly over 3% of the country's GDP. It took almost two years for the law initiative, sent by former president Felipe Calderon to the Congress in 2010, to see the light in August 2012, when the so-called "Ley Antilavado" (anti-money laundering law) was finally approved. Under this new law, a group of "vulnerable activities" was delineated,...

The government is taking steps to reduce France's dependence upon nuclear power, and by end-2014, it is expected to adopt a law to determine how to do this. This follows on from President Hollande's electoral promise to curb the use of nuclear power. But non-government bodies, such as the Renewable Energy Syndicate, believe that the government is not moving fast enough to meet its target - that 50% of electricity is generated by non-nuclear sources in 2025. We highlight that the government's position on nuclear energy continues to be relatively ambiguous, and we have seen signs that President Francois Hollande might backtrack on his promise to reduce the share of nuclear energy to 50% by 2025. So what are the alternatives to nuclear power? Investors are turning away from gas - hydraulic fracturing for shale gas is off the agenda, and problems with LNG supply from Algeria in late 2013, and rising coal imports limit the opportunities here. Whether or not renewable energy can take advantage of the opportunities for investment remains to be seen.

While per capita expenditure on drugs is increasing steadily, Serbia's overall pharmaceutical market is still underdeveloped. Serbia frequently faces medicine shortages, as some retailers and pharmacists are unable to earn profits from the sale of these medicines, which is impacting patients. As the country continues its economic convergence with developed Europe, drug consumption is expected to rise. Meanwhile, financial inefficiencies within the health insurance system compel the National Health Insurance Institution (RZZO) to make frequent changes to coverage and pharmaceutical pricing. We therefore believe that the state must seriously consider expanding its pharmaceutical budget to improve care and patient outcomes, especially considering Serbia's ageing population and the associated burden of chronic diseases. The Serbian pharmaceutical market's high price-sensitivity will constrain the market's short-term potential, although we are optimistic towards the market's long-term growth prospects.
