The Contrast of Indian Cities

India stands in stark contrast to most countries with large cities. Although it has some of the most populated cities in the world, it is not considered urbanised - only one-third of its population lives in cities. India has three cities with over 10 million citizens: Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Despite these large cities and their economic growth, poverty remains a problem in the country. It is estimated that one in six urban households lives in slums.

Small Pets on the Rise in Chile

Increasing urbanization in Chile is leading consumers to re-think the care a pet might need. Therefore, smaller pets such as birds, hamsters and fish are on the rise in the country. Urbanized Chileans who do get pets often don't want one that will require constant care, and smaller pets are perfect for their on-the-go lifestyle. In addition, smaller pets are growing in families because parents want their children to have pets they can easily play with and hold.

Curated Retailing Part 2: Curation on the Internet

Curated retailing is not only found in brick and mortar stores, but also is prevalent on the internet. For example, online retail Net-a-Porter has created "The Edit", a list of premium beauty products hand-selected by the site. This is a prime example of curation: The retailer, already offering premium products, is picking out quintessential items. The future of online curation will most likely put curation in the hands of the users. Pinterest is a prime example of user-based curation. The site allows users to 'pin' different clothes, recipes, or designs to name a few things, and share their findings with other users.

Will Coke's New Distribution Rely on Local Bottlers?

On its recent first quarter earnings call, Coca-Cola revealed plans to return some of its US distribution network to independent bottlers. This move comes in stark contrast to Coke's 2010 strategy, in which it bought several of its own bottling companies in North America to cut down on supply chain costs. Jonas Feliciano, Beverages Industry Analyst at Euromonitor, says Coke's strategic change represents a desire to have a larger hand in manufacturing while leaving distribution to bottlers with local expertise.

Growth and Opportunities for Lotion Pumps in Beauty and Home Care

Following her presentation at Plastic Closure Innovations 2013, Regina Maiseviciute, Senior Packaging Analyst at Euromonitor International, discusses how plastic Lotion pumps are one of the fastest growing closure types in beauty and home care products. The growth of these closures is propelled by categories such as liquid soap. Lotion pumps are also being added to categories that traditionally have other closure types. For example, anti-aging creams can usually be found with screw closures; however, pumps are being added to this category as a way to dispense this expensive product with precision.  Pumps are not as prevalent in home care; but have been added to products such as concentrated laundry detergent.
