Singapore’s Vibrant Healthcare Industry an Attractive Market for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Services, says Frost & Sullivan
— Consumer demand for high-quality services bolsters innovation
SINGAPORE, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore’s private outpatient diagnostic imaging services market is receiving a huge boost from a combination of factors including a growing aged population, higher prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and the influx of medical tourists. An estimated 80 percent of the primary healthcare services in the country are provided by private practitioners and the remaining by government polyclinics. In response to the substantial opportunities, device manufacturers are focusing their efforts on developing sophisticated imaging technologies and offering quality output.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Singapore Private Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Services Market (http://www.frost.com/q293927029), finds that the market earned revenues of US$127.8 million in 2013 and estimates this to reach US$273.0 million in 2019.
“With the increasing number of elderly and chronic disease patients, there is a marked shift in attitude from disease treatment to prevention,” said Frost & Sullivan Healthcare Consultant Poornima Srinivasan.
“Both patients and healthcare givers are seeking solutions that can aid in early diagnosis and regular monitoring, which, in turn, is driving the usage of diagnostic imaging services,” she added.
However, the market is somewhat constricted by the high capital expenditure on equipment. Hospitals and laboratories are also deterred by the service and maintenance costs of diagnostic imaging products such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Single Photon Emission CT (SPECT).
In addition, most diagnostic services, except for mammograms and colonoscopy, are not covered by the national insurance schemes in Singapore. Inadequate reimbursements tend to cause hospitals to defer their usage. Yet, consumer awareness regarding early diagnosis and intervention and the demand for low-radiation imaging equipment have made a strong case for sophisticated imaging technologies.
“The private outpatient diagnostic imaging market in Singapore is competing on technology and services rather than pricing,” noted Srinivasan.
“To retain their customer base and attract more customers, device manufacturers and service providers are aiming to invest in new technologies that can deliver more accurate results and a wider variety of tests,” she added.
Given the competitive nature of the market and end-user desire for novel, high-quality products, diagnostic imaging service providers with innovative technologies will flourish.

“Do The Dew” Goes Global
PURCHASE, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ — Duct tape, matches, a skateboard and a bottle of DEW® at first glance are ambiguous on their own. However, when DEW Nation takes a second look, they see opportunities where others don’t to instigate an extraordinary, exhilarating, damn good time.

To illustrate this unique attribute of Mountain Dew fans everywhere, the one-of-a-kind citrus beverage is introducing “Do the DEW” – the iconic rallying cry and brand credo – as the anchor of its first-ever global brand campaign, uniting DEW Nation around the world.
“Mountain Dew is one of our billion dollar brands and one of our fastest growing global brands. It enjoys unparalleled leadership positions in countries like Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia, as well as the United States, and is one of the few brands – in beverages and throughout the consumer goods space – that has no real competition. It is truly a category of one,” said Brad Jakeman, President, PepsiCo Global Beverages Group (@bradjakeman). “Harmonizing Mountain Dew under the first global integrated marketing campaign is part of our commitment to reinvest in our top brands, and leveraging its scale and muscle will allow us to continue to build this powerhouse brand with the same passion and authenticity that the DEW Nation has come to expect of Mountain Dew.”
The global “Do the DEW” campaign features two creative films – for traditional and digital viewing and sharing – where ordinary “ingredients” paired with a bottle of DEW create the perfect recipe for a damn good time. “Fireboard” – starring professional skateboarder Sean Malto – sparks a beach bonfire with a trick and twist. “Directions” follows Olympic snowboarder Scotty Lago and his birdseed trail from the snowy caps of Canada to a lively, mountain base bash.
“Do the DEW is more than just an advertising slogan for Mountain Dew – it represents the attitude of a community that really seeks to live life authentically,” said Simon Lowden, Chief Marketing Officer, PepsiCo Americas Beverages. “True to what DEW Nation has come to expect from DEW, we created the content for this global campaign with authenticity as our filter, and we can’t wait for our fans to have a damn good time with it.”
To bring “Do the DEW” to life in an epic way across the globe, Mountain Dew partnered with one of Hollywood’shottest directors, Justin Lin, known for his work directing The Fast & The Furious franchise and the upcoming season of HBO’s True Detective and the highly anticipated Star Trek 3.
“It was a thrill to collaborate with Mountain Dew and our collective of filmmakers in order to capture what it means to ‘Do the DEW,'” said Lin. “We really embodied that meaning in the making of this content – pushing the limits of creativity and hopefully capturing its essence for fans around the world.”
The integrated global “Do the DEW” campaign also includes a refreshed visual identity system with impactful print and out of home, as well as sharable digital content. DEW Nation can check out the work by following Mountain Dew on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in their local country and join the conversation using hashtag #DoTheDew.
Globally, Mountain Dew accounts for two of PepsiCo’s 22 billion dollar brands with Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew each generating more than a billion dollars in estimated annual retail sales in their own right. Inthe United States, Mountain Dew is a powerhouse brand that has been recognized by Beverage Digest at the #3 liquid refreshment beverage megabrand and it is the No 1. flavored carbonated soft drink.
