If someone set out to design the perfect golf lover's paradise in Florida, the chances are it would end up looking something like Naple's The Quarry community. The Quarry is a sight to behold. Startlingly beautiful lakes, a nature's preserve that has to be seen to be believed and, best of all, a golf course that's been praised not only locally, but been pointed out by the United States Golf Association as having a “wow factor” and being “something special”. The Quarry has all this and more, and in exciting news, Equity Realty has recently announced 9 new homes have hit the market from the community in May.

The proliferation of nappies/diapers in the market was evident in 2013, as these products enjoyed deeper penetration and were sold even in small neighbourhood stores. This greatly increased consumers' awareness, boosting the interest of more players, especially local key players such as Sitracel, which diversified into this category, launching its own brands in nappies/diapers/pants.

Air treatment products have traditionally been favoured by the high summer temperatures in Portugal, resulting in very high penetration for the category. However, the recession and its devastating effect on disposable income took its toll on air treatment products in 2013. The category saw volume sales decline by 13%, whilst current value sales contracted by 12%. Cash-strapped Portuguese consumers were keen to cut back on any expenses considered as unnecessary, and refrained from replacing their old appliances as long as they still worked. Consumers maintained their old air conditioners, rather than buying new ones, which was the reason the key category of split air conditioners also saw an important volume decline.

Despite the short term challenges presented by the weak economic environment we consider the consumer electronics market in Bulgaria to have strong medium-term growth potential. There is relatively low device penetration in most categories meaning vendors can tap the first-time buyer and upgrade/ replacement market as incomes rise. As device prices decline and incomes rise we believe Bulgaria could be a regional outperformer over the medium term. However, in the short term we expect difficult trading conditions to persist in many segments of Bulgaria's consumer electronics market in 2014. The uncertain economic outlook continues to undermine consumer confidence, keeping household spending subdued. Despite the challenges for vendors we expect growth areas in 2014 will include smartphones, flat-panel TV sets and low-cost Android tablets.

BMI View: The Ministry of Health 's plan to increase MAH fees, coupled with price cuts for generic drugs and freezes on OTC medicine prices indicate that the Bulgarian pharmaceutical market will not see meaningful growth in 2014 . However, we expect a pickup in demand for innovative drugs to reinvigorate interest in the country, alt hough it will continue to present a relatively small opportunity for drugmakers in the region.

With the country falling deeper into recession and disposable incomes squeezing further during 2013 in context of tax hikes and rising living costs in Greece, it comes as no surprise that consumption of soft drinks dropped. Consumers notably decrease the frequency with which they purchase soft drinks, and they seem willing to trade down where possible. Hot temperatures in the country or the rise in tourism did not succeed in boosting consumption. The fact that VAT on soft drinks changed in...

BMI View: Data released by the Turkish drugmaker s association for 2013 sales corresponds with our own forecasts. We have also modified our pharmaceutical sales forecast for 2014 and beyond to reflect the volatile exchange rate situation. We now see Turkey's lustre as an emerging pharmaceutical market regressing over the medium term. We believe that the business environment will continue to impede the industry and see very little scope for the central government to enact business-friendly reform in the sector. In sum, we believe 2014 will be another disappointing and challenging year for the industry .

Argentina's telecoms market continues to show potential, but the threat of increasing government intervention offers considerable downside to the long-term picture. Nevertheless, there are several bright spots, including growing interest in pay-TV as operators increase the availability of multiplay options. Merging operations to offer converged services also supports this trend, and enables operators to lower their costs, supporting the market's long term growth potential. New entrants in the mobile sector in the form of MVNOs will boost growth, even as the penetration rate passes 150%. Operators have bucked the trend of falling ARPU, leading BMI to revise forecasts upwards over the 2014-2018 period.

The continued home cooking trend in Belgium is leading pasta to increase in popularity. Pasta has long been a popular meal in Belgium, with consumers ranking pasta as their favourite meal. Aside from offering convenience, pasta is sold at an affordable price, which appeals to both busy and economically sensitive consumers.

Pasta producers have hence introduced healthy new shapes and tastes, which have given a renewed dynamic to the category. Pasta as a whole has seen a tendency towards premiumisation. The category remains highly segmented however, with consumers choosing either top-of-the-range or bottom-of-the-range products, leaving medium-quality products in decline.

The Lithuanian personal accident and health insurance segment recorded growth during the review period (2008-2012), with the segment's written premium value increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% during the review period. It is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period (2012-2017). This growth was driven by an increase in healthcare expenditure, rising life expectancy, mandatory health insurance and growing consumer awareness of the benefits of insurance products. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country's GDP per capita at current prices is expected to value at LTL52,457.4 (US$21,209.6) in 2017, registering a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period. This growth is expected to result in an increase in average income levels and, consequently, improve the demand for personal accident and health insurance products. Personal accident insurance was the leading category in the segment accounting for 65.5% of the written premium in 2012.
