We note that Tanzania's telecoms industry is one of the region's most competitive, with a host of big hitters jockeying for a share of the market. Our telecoms team forecasts that there will be more than 52 mobile phone subscribers per 100 inhabitants in 2011 and this will rise to nearly 70 by 2016. These are phenomenal numbers and the sheer manner in which mobile phones have caught on in Africa really highlights what can be achieved on the consumer side. Companies that can invest heavily in distributional infrastructure (getting your products to the final consumer is probably the greatest challenge you have to overcome) are best placed. This is a big reason why telecoms and also soft drinks have been so successful in Tanzania and indeed most of Africa. With income still low, there are potentially dynamic opportunities on offer for low-cost goods targeting the mass market in particular and Tanzania is no exception. Demand for basic essentials such as toothpaste and shampoo will grow considerably over the next few years. With internal distribution systems in terrible shape, large investment into distribution must be made. There is still very little formal leverage across much of Sub-Saharan Africa on the consumer side - retail banking penetration is tiny, which makes the takeoff in mobile banking very exciting, and formal home ownership financing is still mostly in its infancy. So much activity remains under the radar across much of the region, where the informal economy accounts for a big chunk of spending. The huge take off in cell phones over the past decade shows that if the price is right, there are huge opportunities at mass market level, where consumers are willing to embrace new brands.

Bishop and Associates Inc. has just released a new seven chapter, 200 page research report providing a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the World Industrial Market for Connectors. Connector sales for the years 2009 through 2011 are provided by end use equipment market segments, by product type and by region of the world. A five-year forecast is provided for 2016. The industrial market for connectors typically represents about 11 to 12 percent of the total global connector market, which makes it the fourth largest end-use equipment connector market behind automotive, computer and peripherals, and telecom/data communication. The share of the industrial market for connectors has remained remarkably stable over the years. Distribution sales to the industrial end-use market are relatively strong in North America and Europe but much weaker in Asia Pacific, China and Japan. On average, the overall POP (Point of Purchase) sales to the distribution channels were about 25 percent of total sales in 2011. The industrial end-use equipment market is so diverse that it offers plenty of opportunities for niche players and specialized connector manufacturers. Still, the top-10 connector manufacturers in this market have a combined share of more than 60 percent (2010 sales data). The diversity of the Industrial Market for Connectors makes it stand out from most other connector end-use equipment markets and the report illustrates this unique characteristic by dedicating separate chapters on the five market segments ranging from Industrial Controls to Heavy Equipment.

NEW report style with enhanced analysis and speed-read summaries of key points throughout Murray Dormer, lead author of the report, commented that, "Capital expenditure of $169 billion is forecast in the next five years following a decline from 2009 to 2011. The decline was due to the onset of the global recession, as well as a number of facilities coming onstream or entering the final stages of construction. Overall, Capex will recover through the forecast period as a number of new projects enter the early construction phases. Increasing economic growth and demand for gas-fired power generation will see many regions increase their LNG consumption. This will be particularly important in the emerging economies of China and India. Liquefaction terminals are set to dominate project expenditure with a number of new players emerging in the export market including Angola, Canada and Papua New Guinea."

The electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) market exploded in 2010 and 2011, a necessary increase as auto manufacturers finally started mass producing over a half dozen different plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) models worldwide. The number of charging stations around the world increased by more than 230% in both years, with over 116,000 new charge points sold worldwide in 2011. Given the fast rate of adoption of both PEV and EVSE, the EVSE market will be a mainstream market by decade's end.  The U.S. and Japan lead for public charge points by volume, with both countries enjoying strong sales for both residential and commercial EVSE. However, The U.S. lags both Japan and China in terms of EVSE market value because of a weak fast DC charger segment. China and Japan are the top countries for the fast DC segment with over 970 and 800 installed, respectively, as of the end of 2011. China is the next largest EVSE market, but lacks residential sales as most EVSE sold in China to date have been charging points and battery swapping charging systems for charging stations used by fleets and taxis. Europe is also a strong EVSE market, accounting for 21% of global EVSE sales by market value in 2011. Even though France and Germany lead PEV sales, it is Germany and the UK that have the largest public charging infrastructure networks.  PEV prices are still limiting electric vehicle adoption and, by extension, the EVSE market. The PEV market will continue to be the main driver behind global EVSE sales, followed by government incentives for both PEV and EVSE. Assuming governments maintain their financial support over the next decade and PEV prices continue to decline, there will be a cumulative 3.3 million charging points worldwide in 2016 and 16.9 million in 2021. EVSE sales will reach $3.4 billion by 2021, selling over 4.1 million charging points. The U.S. and Japan will continue to lead the EVSE market. Despite the higher cost of the equipment, SBI Energy sees the fast DC
