APPLIED MARKET INFORMATION

Atofina continues to lead the European PVC compounding market, according to a recent study by Applied Market Information. All the top five PVC compounders in Europe but one are major PVC producers. However, there has been a significant increase in the...

Demand in the lead market, however, is sophisticated enough to already take pairt in the development process and can give feedback for improving and refining a product. Traditionally, test markets are often selected because of their isolated situations in order to avoid interference with non-resident customers. Hong Kong and formerly Western Berlin are such ideal test markets. Isolation, however, supports idiosyncratic demand. Dense inter-regional communication, which facilitates worldwide diffusion of innovations and the influx of outside market information, is one of the features of the lead market. The traditional criteria of test market selection should therefore not be applied to lead markets. On the contrary, a lead market concept can be a powerful method to select test markets.

This review adopts the broad perspective, recognizing that the primai y policy mechanisms applied to improve energy efficiency—minimum efficiency standards, incentive programs, normative and informative labeling progi ams, and technology-driven market forces—can address a vei"y wide variety of products. 

As an example, for room-temperature applications most metals can be considered to be truly elastic. When stresses beyond the yield point are permitted in the design, permanent deformation is considered to be a function only of applied load and can be determined directly from the stress-strain diagram. The behavior of most plastics is much more dependent on the time of application of the load, the past history of loading, the current and past temperature cycles, and the environmental conditions. Ignorance of these conditions has resulted in the appearance on the market of plastic products that were improperly designed. Fortunately, product performance has been greatly improved as the amount of technical information on the mechanical properties of plastics has increased in the past half century. More importantly, designers have become more familiar with the behavior of plastics rather than... 

Similar reporting requirements apply under U S regulations, although there are some variations vdth regards to the frequency and information that must be included in different reports. The FDA are able to take a somewhat more proactive approach in investigating the performance of medicines on the market as they have some funding available to co-sponsor studies of relevance. Their main sources of information are illustrated schematically in Figure 12.8. 

Unless otherwise stated, general information applies to the entire class of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Sildenafil is highlighted because it was the first to be marketed and is the most thoroughly studied. The newer agents tadalafil and vardenafil have different pharmacokinetic profiles (Table 83-3), drug-food interactions, and adverse effects.
