Research and Markets Adds Report: Asia-Pacific Healthcare Outlook 2016 -
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Asia-Pacific Healthcare Outlook 2016" report to its offerings.
In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include:
Demand for healthcare services will continue to grow in Asia-Pacific (APAC) under the influence of demographic and epidemiological transitions impacting the entire region. APAC governments which shoulder the largest burden of paying for healthcare services will take decisive steps to innovate their healthcare systems in order to face future challenges.
This will call for a complete transformation of the way healthcare is delivered in APAC with all key stakeholders - pharma companies, device manufacturers, and healthcare services providers - racing to reinvent their business models. This report looks at the major healthcare industry trends for APAC and their impact on businesses in 2016.
Key Findings
- Primary and home-based care are gaining momentum in APAC. Both healthcare and non-healthcare companies are devising entry strategies for these areas.
- Medical device innovation is originating in APAC and moving westwards, a model that is now being adopted by leading med tech companies that have recognized APAC as their key growth opportunity.
- Open platforms and open innovation are the new buzz words among healthcare companies and they are seeking partners to leverage these new ways of doing business.
- Business models are set to transform in APAC, as companies move from products to a service-based model. Ecosystems to support such models are being explored by multinational companies.
- Healthcare companies are beginning to focus on developing products and services for the expanding middle income group that has the ability as well as the willingness to pay across most APAC countries.
2016 Predictions
- Clinical Wearables Market to Explode: Global market for clinical wearables will generate revenues worth $6 billion by the end of 2016
- APAC to Emerge as the Epicenter for Regenerative Medicine Launches: Regenerative medicine is globally in demand as chronic diseases and aging population are increasing. Japan and South Korea are investing in R&D for regenerative medicine products.
- Japan - Land of Rising Health Transformation: Japan is set to drive a major industry shift in healthcare globally because of the country's innovative technologies, business models, and forward-looking policies.
- Race for Parallel Investment Institutions Heats Up: The New Development Bank and the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank are creating a strong impact on APAC economies owing to the demand and market sophistication that they are fueling.
- APAC Hospital Groups Taking on the World: Leading healthcare service providers are expanding beyond APAC borders and investing in the Middle East, India, and even as far as Latin America, in search of revenues from underserved regions.
- Innovative APAC Companies Driving Global Biosimilars Market: APAC has risen as the torch-bearer for biosimilars market development and will support global demand in the near future.
Key Industry Issues to be Addressed
- Key areas of healthcare expenditure include healthcare services and pharmaceuticals. APAC countries continue to spend on acute care rather than investing in prevention and wellness.
- Many governments feel that the rising healthcare expenditure is unsustainable and are, therefore, seeking models to involve the private sector to share the increasing burden.
- Healthcare policy, insurance, andreimbursement reforms have not kept pace with technological advancements. Data gaps, lack of transparency, and system inefficiencies are contributing to wastage in healthcare.

Gilt and Sarah Jessica Parker Unveil SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker Bridal Collection for SpringSarah Jessica Parker, in partnership with Gilt, kicked off the exclusive launch of SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker Bridal, Gilt’s first foray into bridal ready-to-wear that would have Carrie Bradshaw swooning.
The collection includes dresses, skirts, bodysuits and other pieces, ranging in price from $295 to $2,395 and from sizes 0 to 14.
"Collaborating with Gilt on my first bridal ready-to-wear collection was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," said Sarah Jessica Parker. "The team there is brilliant and allowed me to be imaginative and take risks as I was designing for the non-traditional bride. It has been quite fun to play around with colors, fabrics and details to create unique pieces for all kinds of brides." The collection, comprised of ten styles, is inspired by Parker's vision of a modern, non-traditional bride, and is designed to dress a woman for a variety of wedding milestone moments; from her bridal shower through her wedding reception. Styles offered are a unique mix of classic dresses and gowns, modern bodysuits, full skirts, and a jumpsuit. The color palette includes traditional bridal white, sleek black, plus pops of blush, poppy, light gray and blue.
Designed in collaboration with Gilt, the collection was produced in New York City utilizing fabrics like cashmere and stretch crepe sourced from Spain, Italy and France.
The pieces all feature carefully curated details like elegant bows, sophisticated cutouts, feathers, intricate embroidery and beautiful hand-stitched beading.
The actress and style icon is no stranger to chic bridal wear. Carrie Badshaw, famously played by Parker, took part in an elaborate bridal photo shoot in Sex and the City: The Movie. The shoot featured gowns from designers like Christian Lacroix and Lanvin. Parker famously wore a black wedding gown for her own wedding to Matthew Broderick in 1997.
"Not only is Sarah Jessica Parker's style known around the world, her point of view is one-of-a-kind," says Tom Ott, Chief Merchant of Gilt. "Sarah Jessica brings her impeccable taste and fashion sensibility to life in this collection. We think our customers will be delighted with the offering which is stylish and well-priced in the bridal category."
As part of the bridal launch, Gilt will also offer 15 exclusive styles from the SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker footwear line, each of which are complementary to the bridal collection.
