Next Tuesday, Apple will report results for the March quarter. The Street is expecting the company to sell in the vicinity of 32-33 million iPhones for the quarter. That’s a lot of smartphones. But it might not be anywhere close enough to make the company the calendar Q1 smartphone champion.
ACI Research analyst Edward Zabitsky asserts in a research note that Samsung in the quarter sold over 40 million smartphones, grabbing the title of global smartphone unit king.
And the competition from Samsung, the analyst asserts, continues to intensify. He notes that the company on May 3 will launch the Galaxy S3, the latest edition of its flagship smartphone, which he thinks will include an internally developed quad core processor called the Exynos 4412, their own LTE/WCDMA baseband processor, and a retina quality, low-power Super AMOLED+ display, also made by Samsung.
Zabitsky, who might be the one true bear on Apple in the analyst community, contends that Samsung, and not Apple, is the low-cost producer in smartphones. He says that Apple’s purchasing power is matched by Samsung – but he notes that Samsung designs and manufactures $60-$80 of components in every high-end Galaxy phone, while Apple designs about $25 of the components in the iPhone 4S. He notes that “Samsung’s internally sourced displays, processors, and memory require a low incremental cost to produce.”
Healthcare giants target expansion in China market
[Date:04-20-2012] Source: Global Times RSS Feed
German chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer AG yesterday announced that its China sales in 2011 topped 3 billion euros ($3.93 billion), accounting for 8 percent of its global sales.
Though its 2011 sales showed a moderate growth compared with a year ago, the company aims to double sales in China to 6 billion euros by 2015, Johannes Dietsch, president of Bayer China Group, said at a press conference yesterday in Beijing.
For Bayer, China is the third largest market globally and the first in Asia-Pacific, said Dietsch.
Bayer's business in China mainly covers three areas: healthcare, crop science and material science. The material science department accounts for 50 percent of the company's business in China, but Dietsch said that its healthcare business is expected to demonstrate fastest growth in the future.
China's healthcare market has grown more than 20 percent during the past few years, according to Liu Wei, an industry analyst with the CIC Industry Research Center, and the fast growth is creating opportunities which no foreign company can afford to ignore.
GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric, is also stepping up efforts to expand in the Chinese healthcare market. The company said it will introduce over 40 new products for the Chinese market in the next three years, with 70 percent of them dedicated to the primary healthcare market.
To support product development, the company launched an innovation center in Chengdu in March and moved its X-ray research center to Beijing last year.
Liu from the CIC Industry Research Center said mergers and acquisitions have been a common practice for foreign pharmaceutical companies to strengthen their foothold in the Chinese market.
Swiss drug giant Novartis AG last year acquired 85 percent of the vaccine producer Zhejiang Tianyuan Bio-Pharmaceutical Co. Pfizer and Cardinal Health have also invested in domestic pharmaceutical companies.
More policy easing on way to boost economy
More policy easing on way to boost economy
[Date:04-20-2012]
China's central bank has indicated that a further relaxation of monetary policy is on the horizon, such as more cuts in the reserve requirement ratio for commercial lenders to ensure adequate liquidity in the financial system.
"We will continue to implement prudent monetary policies, and fine-tune the measures when necessary to guide credit growth in a stable and appropriate way," Xinhua News Agency cited an official from the People's Bank of China as saying on Wednesday night.
In the coming months, the central bank will adjust banking liquidity, and take "targeted" action by considering foreign exchange inflows, capital demand, and short-term special factors, it reported.
"For instance, we could inject more liquidity through larger-scale repurchasing operations, a lower RRR, and matured central bank bills."
The official added that the central bank will provide timely liquidity support to financial companies facing a shortage of capital because they gave assistance to small enterprises and agriculture-related industries.
Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist at Nomura Holdings Inc, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying that the central bank had "sent the market a signal that further loosening measures will be rolled out".
China's first-quarter GDP growth slowed to 8.1 percent year-on-year, falling below market expectations of 8.4 percent, and the central bank is likely to step up its policy easing over the remainder of the year. The next RRR cut could come as early as this month, said Liu Ligang, head of China economics at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
