Introduction and Landscape

Why was the report written?

This report is the result of an extensive survey drawn from ICD Research’s exclusive panel of leading global senior level executives from industries such as such as mining, medical devices, food and beverage, packaging, power, airports, oil and gas and pharmaceutical. The report includes key topics such as procurement behaviors and strategies, the current size of the marketing and advertising budgets. Furthermore the report also identifies the threats and opportunities, economic outlook trends, MandA expectations, media channel spending outlooks, media budgets, marketing agency selection criteria, business challenges and confidence among senior level executives across various industries. Most secondary research reports are based on general industry drivers and do not understand the industry executives’ attitude and changing behaviors, creating a gap in presenting the business outlook of the industry. In an effort to bridge this gap, ICD Research created this primary-research based report by gathering the opinions of multiple stake holders in the value-chain of the industry.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

Overall, senior level executives anticipate an increase in levels of consolidation with 62% of respondents expecting an increase in MandA activity in 2013.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

Cost and demand pressures, repayment of debt, and the potential need to meet new compliance procedures. In addition, quick access to new markets, business expansion, and attempts to increase market share which are easily achievable through MandA are key reasons for increase in consolidation levels according to senior executives.
