A drive is an adjustable speed device that regulates the speed and direction of motors. Adjustment is done by varying the current flow through the motor. Drives are classified on the basis of the type of current into two broad categories: AC drives and DC drives. AC drives are used to control AC electric motors, while DC drives are used for DC electric motors. Drives are widely used in manufacturing industries to regulate and control electrical devices such as fans, conveyors, machine spindles, and pumps, which are used in production processes. AC drives are widely used in process industries to increase the energy efficiency of motors.

The Construction Equipment market has experienced several pits and falls in the past decade due to global economic recession.

The Global Crane market is currently undergoing a radical change, fuelled by the growth of emerging economies, exponential growth of the Infrastructure industry, and drive toward greater energy efficiency.

Laundry care received one of its most dramatic shake-ups in nearly a decade with the introduction of liquid laundry detergent tablets. The product, while common in many other countries, had not previously been offered by many of the major laundry detergent manufacturers. Now, liquid laundry tablets have been launched by nearly every single major liquid laundry manufacturer, and have quickly been introduced to nearly every major distributor in the US. These products, while more expensive than other laundry detergents, offer premeasured detergents in a dissolvable pouch. Almost every major brand of liquid laundry tablets comes in stand-up pouches for the majority of the product line-up. The major deviation of this comes from Tide Pods, which has many of its larger sizes in large tubs that are shaped to look like the product, and have an easy-to-open lid. This caused some issues in the initial launch of the product, as children mistook the product for candy in a jar and tried to eat it. This forced Procter & Gamble to put extra labelling on the packaging to advise parents to keep the product out of the reach of children.

With consumption growth, increasing consumer purchasing power, women's greater purchasing power and the rising life expectancies, this will lead to a rise in beauty and personal care sales volume, which is benefiting overall beauty and personal care packaging sales. In 2012, the overall packaging grew by 3% over 2011 and is expected to have a CAGR of 3% over the forecast period to reach a volume of 15.2 billion units in 2016.

Euromonitor International's data show that single- and 2-person households maintained volume growth of 2.3-2.5% in recent years, reflected in late marriage among singles and the rising number of DINK families in China. The emotional needs among these people give rise to more cases of pet adoption, in addition to the accelerating urbanisation and the climbing consumption capability in China.

In 2012, HDPE bottles were the most popular packaging in home care and constituted 21% of entire packaging utilised in the market. However, there was a noticeable tendency of declining share of HDPE bottles to the benefit of competing packaging types, mainly PET bottles. This phenomenon was particularly visible in multi-purpose cleaners, hand dishwashing, liquid fabric softeners or kitchen cleaners. PET bottles are less cost intensive for the manufacturers and attractive in terms of visual properties. Moreover, their technical parameters (eg resistance and durability) are not far behind HDPE bottles.

In 2012, rigid plastic was the dominant packaging format overall in beauty and personal care with a 53% unit volume share, paper-based containers with 20% and flexible packaging with 19% and This market is mature and saturated, with growth driven by trends such as the economy, the ageing Canadian population, increasing environmental awareness and changes in the retail environment (for example, the increasing emphasis on beauty and personal care products in drugstores, the shift in some Wal-Mart locations to hypermarkets and not least the increasing competition from modern Asian grocery stores that are creating in-store beauty boutiques to capture growing demand from the rising ethnic population).

Transparency of the product is a selling point asset for brand owners within soft drinks in France. This trend therefore enabled PET bottles to gain ground within 100% juices in 2012, thanks to the success of Tropicana in PET bottles in the size of 850ml in November 2010. According to trade press, PepsiCo France SNC was able to recruit 170,000 new purchaser households in 2011. Such a performance led the company to upsize PET bottles for the Tropicana Pure Premium range by launching in December 2011 the size of 1,300ml within 100% juices in retail, hence the positive growth in 2012.

Tobacco volume sales have been significantly affected by the smoking ban, stringent legislation and higher taxes. The smoking ban in foodservice in particular impacted on the smoking patterns of the German population. Whilst some outlets banned smoking altogether, many turned to shorter smoking times. Anti-smoking campaigns as well as the smoking ban also created a social stigma around smoking with more Germans coming to consider it as less acceptable to smoke in public places. The increased levels of health consciousness in the population also contributed to the decline. All of these factors led to a decline in tobacco packaging.

Overall, home care products is a very mature and saturated market, offering few growth opportunities. Apart from that, many other factors work against value and volume sales, for example, demographic ones, lifestyle-related ones, as well as those concerning the product properties. Fewer children on the one hand and more (very) old people on the other hand mean less demand for specific products. Also, with ever-busier lifestyles many people have considerably less time and willingness to do...

The key event of 2013 was the full return of PepsiCo to the country with the launch of a KES2.6 billion soft drinks manufacturing plant. The company now has a plant in Kenya with the capacity to manufacture around 600 bottles per minute, thus showing its intention to seize the growing opportunities available in the Kenyan market. PepsiCo's manufacturing presence in the country is expected to help it cut its operational costs, thus freeing up cash for a price war with its rival Coca-Cola.

Volume growth of tobacco packaging in China in 2012 was slightly slower than in 2011, mainly due to the stricter government control over smoking in public places in China. With China's entry into the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in 2005, a ban on smoking in public places, such as hospitals, schools and public transportation, has been in place in China since January 2011.

The tobacco industry witnessed consumers cutting down on tobacco consumption on account of health and wellness concerns. While new consumers were entering the fold, existing consumers continued to take steps towards reduction of tobacco consumption. In addition, several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) undertook activities to make consumers aware of the ill effects of tobacco consumption. These factors, put together, took their toll on the tobacco industry, thereby impacting volume growth of tobacco packaging as well, which had to contend with growth of a mere 2% in 2012.

Alternative packaging continues to make gains in wine, as products such as single-serve plastic cups of wine as well as foil pouches of wine are introduced by independent companies with increasing frequency. These products have largely become attractive to consumers as they allow them to easily decide the amount they wish to drink at any given time. In addition, the product's packaging is very resilient to breakage, which is normally of concern with glass products. Finally, as consumers have become increasingly cost conscious, many of them have shed some of the traditional concerns that wine that comes in non-glass packaging is inferior in quality to its glass counterparts.

The tobacco industry is taking its packaging increasingly seriously, using it as a means to convey an image to consumers, given the restrictions on advertising and promotions. The largest trend in tobacco packaging in the latter part of the review period was automation, where pressing on an area of the pack opens the top. Variants include slide packs, such as Benson & Hedges, Marlboro lighter/Zipp and Davidoff iD Touch Orange, which was launched in 2012. A recent addition is the Glide Tec opening, which flips open when the front section is slid up, as used by Imperial's Lambert & Butler brand, with the packaging introduced in the UK at the end of 2011.
