Abstract: - The global market for Carpets and Rugs is projected to exceed US$41 billion by 2024, driven by the unflinching recovery of the construction industry over the last couple of years in most countries across the world; and the growing preference for modular carpet solutions. Gracing folktales from Russia to Iraq, the magical heritage of carpets & rugs has today evolved into a commonplace, widely accepted and preferred type of floor covering and interior embellishment cherished for its ageless beauty and mythical lure. Few of the functional benefits of carpeted flooring driving adoption rates in the market include higher thermal resistance/R-value and the ensuing energy efficiency benefits; lower noise and sound acoustic effects; improved air quality given carpets’ low VOC emitting characteristics as against engineered hardwood which leak formaldehyde; imparts elegance and style; less labor intensive installation and low maintenance load. Carpets are also safer with reduced risk of slip-and-fall accidents, a feature benefit that is driving adoption in the growing number of senior housing facilities. Other major factors also influencing growth include sustained demand for wall-to-wall carpeting solutions in Wool, Nylon, Polyester, Olefin (Polypropylene) and Triexta; rising prominence of eco-friendly carpets made from natural and biodegradable renewable fibers; and strong replacement demand supported by innovations in styles, colors, patterns, designs and textures keeps consumer interest alive. The United States and Europe represent large markets worldwide, supported by cold climatic conditions that make warm and comfortable carpets the preferred flooring choice. The U.S ranks as the largest producer of flooring carpets with a 27.1% share in 2018. Carpeted flooring in the U.S. accounts for 44% share in the flooring market, while in Europe and Asia the figures average to 25% and 6% respectively Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a projected CAGR of 5.1% over the analysis period, supported by the robust demand for decorative and ornamental area rugs rather than carpeted flooring. Rugs in Asia have a rich cultural heritage and are widely perceived as vital for adding atmosphere, comfort and style to rooms in a home. Popular types of area rugs in the region include living room rugs, bedroom rugs, shag rugs, office rugs, wool rugs, braided rugs, and all flooring rugs. Presence of leading carpet manufacturing countries such as China and India, rapid urbanization, expanding base of middle class population and the corresponding rise in demand for well provisioned and furnished houses, lifestyle upgrades and increased spending on home furnishings and interiors are major growth factors in the region.

  • Growing Demand for Technologies That Support Healthcare Price Transparency Requirements

    Dublin, March 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResearchAndMarkets.com published a new article on the medical billing industry "Growing Demand for Technologies That Support Healthcare Price Transparency Requirements" 2021 will see accelerated adoption of technologies that reduce costs, streamline operations, and reduce errors. There is also expected to be greater demand for technology that provides patients with improved visibility into their medical bills. The CMS final rule on price transparency, which came into effect in January, requires hospitals to disclose their standard charges. The healthcare sector will also increase its investments in robotic process automation (RPA), which can improve the speed and accuracy of manual, repetitive processes such as billing and claims processing. About half of US healthcare providers expect to invest in RPA over the next three years, according to Gartner.The COVID-19 pandemic prompted increased use of telehealth services and it is likely that demand will remain for these services in 2021. One challenge to providing telehealth services is difficulties with proper telehealth coding for billing. Commercial payer coverage for telehealth services can vary and industry experts suggest providers verify covered services with individual payers. Healthcare providers focused on improving their digital health services should explore ways to integrate them with payments and revenue cycle technology to offer a convenient experience for patients. The article on ResearchAndMarkets.com contains a selection of reports on medical billing such as: Medical Billing Outsourcing Market Research and Outlook, 2020 - Trends, Growth Opportunities and Forecasts to 2028Mid-revenue Cycle Management/Clinical Documentation Improvement Market by Product & Service, End User, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2027Medical office Software Market Research Report by Product, by End-User - Global Forecast to 2025 - Cumulative Impact of COVID-19 To see the full article and a list of related reports on the market, visit "Growing Demand for Technologies That Support Healthcare Price Transparency Requirements" About ResearchAndMarkets.comResearchAndMarkets.com is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

  • SoftBank Strategy Chief Plans Exit After Just Three Years

    (Bloomberg) -- SoftBank Group Corp.’s Chief Strategy Officer Katsunori Sago is planning to quit after less than three years at the company, as other executives gain prominence at the Japanese investment conglomerate.The Goldman Sachs veteran who joined SoftBank in June 2018 will resign on March 31, SoftBank said in a statement late on Friday. The Tokyo-based company was confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News.The 53-year-old is a key member of founder Masayoshi Son’s inner circle and something of a celebrity in Japan’s world of finance. Prior to joining SoftBank, Sago spent more than two decades at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., rising to become vice chairman of its operations in the country. During a three-year stint at state-owned Japan Post Bank Co., he spearheaded a portfolio shift away from sovereign bonds.But little is known about his work at SoftBank. The company has never clearly defined his role as CSO, a position that did not exist prior to his joining. Over the past few years, he has assembled a small team of former Goldman bankers and set up an investment department in April.“Sago-san dedicated himself to a variety of projects by bringing a whole new perspective as SBG transforms into a strategic investment holding company,” Son said in the statement. “He played a crucial part in expanding SBG’s potential as an investment company.”Rumors about his departure began to circulate late last year as Sago seemed increasingly adrift while other Son lieutenants, including Chief Operating Officer Marcelo Claure and Vision Fund head Rajeev Misra, began to take more prominent roles in public markets and startup investment.In November, SoftBank said Sago and three other directors will leave the board in an effort to increase the proportion of outside directors and improve corporate governance. The executive earned 1.11 billion yen ($10.2 million) in the year ended March 2020, a 13% increase from the previous year.(Updates with SoftBank confirmation from the first paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Pro-Beijing committee to elect some Hong Kong legislators

    BEIJING — A largely pro-Beijing committee that elects Hong Kong’s leader will also choose a large part of the legislature, a top Chinese official announced Friday as part of a major revamp that will increase central government control over Hong Kong politics. The changes are part of a draft decision submitted on the opening day of the weeklong meeting of the National People's Congress, China's ceremonial legislature, which will all but certainly endorse it. The Election Committee will participate in the nomination of candidates for Hong Kong's legislature and also elect “a relatively large share" of its members, said Wang Chen, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee. He did not say how many legislators would be chosen by the committee. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post newspaper, citing unidentified sources, said it would be 30 seats in an expanded 90-seat legislature. That would be a significant rollback of democracy in Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous territory that has greater freedoms than mainland China but has seen them sharply cut back in the past year. The Election Committee selected up to 10 members in earlier versions of the city's legislature, but hasn’t done so since the 2000 election. Wang added that the size, composition and selection of the 1,200-member Election Committee will also be adjusted, and the city's leader will continue to be elected by the committee. Currently, half of the city's now 70-member Legislative Council is directly elected by voters. The other half is elected by professional or special interest groups from sectors such as insurance, engineering and agriculture. With the largely pro-Beijing election committee nominating all candidates for the legislature, opposition figures could be barred from running in elections. The draft changes came after the top Beijing official overseeing Hong Kong, Xia Baolong, declared that Hong Kong must be governed only by “patriots." In his speech, Wang said that “clear loopholes and shortcomings” in Hong Kong's electoral system had allowed “anti-China” forces to undermine the overall stability in Hong Kong and jeopardize national sovereignty, security and development interests. The draft decision to revamp Hong Kong's electoral system comes after Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement gained traction in recent years as Beijing tightened its control over the city. Ko Wing-man, a former Hong Kong health secretary who is in Beijing for an advisory body that meets in parallel with the congress, said the changes would marginalize radical forces in Hong Kong politics. He acknowledged the right of people to ask for more liberty and political autonomy, but said the pro-democracy movement has been driven overboard by radicals seeking self-determination and independence. “The whole thing becomes unconstitutional,” he said in an interview with the AP. "I think you would believe that in any country. Unconstitutional behaviours are serious matters.” Pro-democracy supporters say Beijing's increasing control over the city's political system violates its pledge to give Hong Kong 50 years of autonomy under a “one country, two systems” framework when the city was handed over to China by the British in 1997. Months of anti-government protests erupted in 2019, at times descending into violence between police and protesters. This eventually led Beijing to impose a national security law on Hong Kong. The legislation criminalizes secession, subversion, collusion with foreign forces to intervene in the city's affairs and terrorism, and has since been used to charge about 100 people in the city, including 47 pro-democracy activists last week. The activists were charged with conspiracy to commit subversion over their involvement in an unofficial primary election last year, aimed at selecting candidates that could give the pro-democracy camp a legislative majority. If the pro-democracy camp had won a majority, at least some members of the camp had plans to vote down major bills, which would eventually force Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam to resign. Authorities said the activists’ participation in the primary was part of a plan to paralyze the city’s legislature and subvert state power. ___ Soo reported from Hong Kong.
