Still bottled water is the dominant format within bottled water, accounting for around 94% of total volume sales in 2013. Thus, the wider...

Additionally, consumers tended to move onto cheaper alternatives than gold such as silver, enabling costume jewellery to perform well in 2013. However, the positive value growth of costume jewellery was not enough to...

Use of general purpose and personal wipes was further pushed by the high and increasing levels of pollution in the urban centres across the...

Rice and dessert mixes form the market of dried processed food in Romania in 2013. Like dried pasta, rice is perceived as a staple food. This makes the category rather stable in terms of development and less volatile during the economic downturn as consumers remain reliant on it to bulk out meals. Dessert mixes will record the highest market volume and current value growth rate in 2013. The lack of free time but also the desire to bake rapid sophisticated desserts will lead to a considerable...

The European Union's (EU) 20-20-20 targets are a set of three binding measures imposed on member states as part of the EU's climate and energy package. To meet 20-20-20 targets, member states must reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 20% by 2020 in comparison to 1990 levels; ensure a 20% increase in the share of renewable in the power mix by 2020 and a 20% improvement in energy efficiency.These targets have been translated into national targets for each member state, but as they are a set of common goals they must be pursued through a mix of national and EU actions. The measures implemented to help to achieve the 2020 targets are a reform of the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS), national targets for renewable generation, and a legal framework for the environmentally safe use of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology to reduce emissions. The EU is on track to achieve two of its 2020 targets, but is not expected to achieve a 20% improvement in energy efficiency by 2020. A 2030 framework will allow the EU to progress towards a competitive economy and a secure energy system by creating employment opportunities and a demand for innovative, low-carbon technologies. Further steps would also assist the EU in satisfying its promise to cut GHG emissions by 80-95% by 2050. The proposed targets for the 2030 energy and climate framework are: GHG emission reduction by 40% compared to 1990 levels, an increase in the share of renewables in the power mix by 27%, and further improvements in energy efficiency. These 2030 targets have however faced criticism from environmentalists, energy companies and EU members. Environmental groups argue that the EU should have gone beyond a 40% GHG target reduction for 2030 considering that the EU is currently on track, if not ahead of schedule, to meet its 2020 targets. Energy companies such as Acciona Energia, Alstom, Enercon, ERG Renew, RES Med and Vestas agree that an overall renewable target of at least 30% will boost green growth, create 570,000 jobs and save EUR260 billion ($359 billion) in fossil fuel imports.

With a solid economy behind them, Uruguayan consumers continued to demand products that combine quality and convenience, as they can afford to pay more for specific detergents, especially in hand dishwashing.

Consumption of juice declines rapidly in Greece amidst the economic downturn. With disposable incomes having been squeezed tremendously over the past three years, Greeks purchase juice far less frequently than the used to. Chilled products decline at a much faster pace in comparison to ambient, in line with their higher unit prices. Products marketed particularly for children have also seen double digit declines, while juice drinks are gaining market share given their lower unit price, as well...

The world is moving beyond standalone devices into a new era in which everything is connected. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. Stated differently, the concept involves the notion that there are many things (assets, objects, etc.) in the world that may be addressed/labeled/cataloged for various purposes. One term used for this concept is "Object Hyperlink", which refers to the notion of extending the Internet to objects and locations in the real world. In other words, the Internet is associated with (or mapped to) the real world by attaching object tags with URLs as meta-objects to tangible objects or locations.
