Tunnel Construction in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
| 
Author:
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2013
Demand for tunnel construction services is coming out of the dark. The economic downturn decimated demand for industry services as state and local municipalities cut back expenditures on transportation projects and private investments contracted, says IBISWorld industry analyst Deonta Smith. A shortage of property and fuel tax revenue, coupled with the rising need for unemployment insurance, prompted state and local governments to cutback transportation expenditures during the recession, hindering industry expansion. Due to these trends, IBISWorld expects revenue to drop 1.1% on average to $ 1.8 billion in the five years to 2013. In response, the federal government implemented numerous initiatives such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act to assist the industry in a turnaround.
Over the past five years, utility tunnel maintenance and construction has emerged as one of the strongest needs in many states. According to Smith, Aging pipes and innovative plans to acquire more resources have prompted demand for tunnel construction projects. In addition, demand has grown with an increase in private toll roads; as such, private investors have become significant sources of demand for the Tunnel Construction industry. As a result of foregone maintenance on utility tunnels and an increase in public private partnerships, demand for tunnel construction services is slated for an immediate increase in demand. Subsequently, IBISWorld expects revenue to increase 2.8% in 2013.
The Tunnel Construction industry has a low level of market share concentration. In 2013, the top four companies will account for less than an estimated 15.0% of industry revenue. During the past five years, the number of companies has remained flat, increasing at an estimated annualized rate of 0.6% to 110. During the next five years, the number of companies is projected to increase at a faster rate, growing at an average annual rate of 1.6% to 119. The growth in the number of industry companies will be supported by moderate barriers to entry and increasing federal spending on tunnel construction services.
The industry is forecast to return to grow strongly over the next five years. As the economy recovers, demand from private-sector development will normalize, and state and local governments’ transportation outlays will rebound, offsetting the drop off in federal stimulus investment. As a result of pent-up demand from delayed projects, industry employment is expected to increase. The number of employees is projected to rise at an average annual rate of about 4.9% to 6,682 contractors.

Birmingham Private Detectives Gives Information about Fraud Investigation Services in Light of The Telegraph Report: Spanish Man Chops Off His Hand to Claim
(PRWEB UK) 28 April 2013
According to the Telegraph report by Harriet Alexander an unnamed Spanish man told 11 different insurance companies that he had lost his hand in a car crash. Investigators became suspicious when they discovered the mans hand was too cleanly severed and the bone had not been affected to be a result of a car accident. Jose Luis Nieto, president of Spanish accident investigators Gesterec said:
There were various things that did not add up He also described this claim as one of the most memorable
Last year in a 12 month period in which almost 150,000 investigations were carried out into suspicious claims, a rise of 11.9 %.
In another case last year a Spanish man cut off his arm above the elbow and claimed 600,000 Euros saying it was an electric saw accident.
The report goes on to suggest that the sharp rise in fraudulent claims comes as Spain announced the worst unemployment figures since records began in the 1970s. Desperate home owners, unable to pay their mortgages, have been committing suicide at such a rate that the government has been forced to suspend the eviction of tenants in arrears.
Private investigator in Birmingham, Birmingham Private Detectives is often approached by businesses and individuals to investigate suspected cases of fraud. Over the years these cases have included insurance fraud, benefits fraud and bogus sickness or injury fraud and investigators have had much success for their clients. Investigations may include surveillance of the suspected target, forensic investigation and a though investigation into the facts of the case and the evidence available. The last method is very much like the case in the report of the Spanish man who cut off his own hand.
Investigator and spokesperson from Birmingham Private Detectives, Kristy George said:
Investigators at Birmingham Private Detectives have investigated many different cases of fraud for clients and it is always surprising what desperate or greedy people will do to themselves in order to cheat the system for monitory gain.
Birmingham Private Detectives along with their private investigator in Bristol sister company, Bristol Private Detectives is a team of highly trained professional and discreet private investigators and detectives with over 35 years experience in the industry. Their understanding and approachable team of male and female detectives are available 24/7 to conduct matrimonial, corporate and private investigations

Office Space: Office Furniture Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld has Been Updated
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
The Office Furniture Manufacturing industry has suffered during the five years to 2013 as businesses cut back on expenses in the midst of the recession. With declining demand, companies within the industry were forced to lower prices to remain competitive, hampering industry profit. Furthermore, the surge of low-cost imports continues to adversely affect the industry. Countries like China have lower labor and overhead costs allowing they to offer lower prices on comparable products, effectively eroding domestic demand for US-made products, IBISWorld industry analyst Brandon Ruiz says. Consequently, industry revenue is expected to decline at an average annual rate of 4.1% in the five years to 2013.
Volatile input prices have also adversely affected the Office Furniture Manufacturing industry. The price of steel, a major input for office furniture, plummeted 25.1% in 2009 and jumped 16.0% in the following year. These price fluctuations made it difficult for manufacturers to anticipate future spending and control costs, Ruiz says. Furthermore, as a result of declining demand and prices for new office furniture, profit decreased from 3.3% of revenue in 2008 to 1.9% in 2013. Consequently, many firms were forced to exit the industry completely. Despite these challenges, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to grow a modest 0.4% to $ 23.2 billion in 2013, fueled by US enterprise growth and the expansion of corporate profit. The more businesses there are, the more office furniture is needed.
During the five years to 2013, the number of office furniture manufacturers decreased. Overall, the Office Furniture Manufacturing industry has low market share concentration. In 2013, the industrys three largest players are Steelcase Inc., HNI Corporation and Herman Miller Inc. The remainder of the market is captured by a large number of small and privately owned businesses that successfully supply the local community’s retail demand.
As the number of US businesses increases, industry revenue is forecast to rise in the five years to 2018; however, some mitigating factors will remain. Higher import penetration will lower domestic demand and increase price pressures on domestic manufacturers, which will slightly constrict growth. Also, raw material prices are projected to continue increasing, which will adversely affect profit in the same period. Manufacturers can pass the additional costs on to buyers, but in doing so, they risk losing business to low-priced foreign imports.
