Dublin, Nov. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Power Rental Market by Fuel (Diesel & Gas), Power Rating, Equipment, End Users (Utilities, Oil & Gas, Events, Construction, Mining, Manufacturing, Shipping, Data Center), Application, Region - Global Forecasts to 2023" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.The global power rental market is projected to reach a size of USD 21.2 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 7.89%, from an estimated USD 14.5 billion in 2018. This growth can be attributed to the limited access to electricity in rural areas and increase in power loss due to aging infrastructure.

*By end-user, the utilities segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period*

The report segments the power rental market, by end-user, into utilities, oil & gas, minning, manufacturing, construction, events, shipping, and data center. Local grids lack reliable supply, mainly due to poor or lack of transmission network in regions such as Africa, Asia Pacific, and in developing countries.

Unreliable supply from a local grid or limited access to the main transmission network may prohibit the delivery of electricity required to sustain production and operations. In such cases, there will be a high demand for generators, as users avoid traditional power grids to limit their use of the grid. Hence, there is continuous demand for power rental from power plants in order to ensure continued power supply. Utility companies use rental generators mainly during the peak demand period.

*By application, the standby power segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period*

A standby generator is an electrical back-up system that operates within seconds of a power outage. The transfer switch senses the loss of power and accordingly starts or shuts off the generator. Most units run on diesel, natural gas, or liquid propane gas. These generators are used in hospitals, office buildings, and schools, among others.
Diesel generator accounts for the largest market size during the forecast period.

Diesel generators are being used for standby, peak shaving, and continuous power generation purposes for decades. The diesel generators have long running life, easy fuel availability, and quick response. These are the factors that boost the growth of the diesel generator market worldwide.

The advantages of using a diesel generator is its continuous stream of voltage power, without peaks and dips of other devices, thus, helping to regulate fluctuations. Diesel generators find applications mainly in commercial and various manufacturing facilities and are also available in portable forms, which are primarily used by residential customers. These were the major reasons behind the diesel generator market holding the maximum share in 2017.

*North America is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period*

In this report, the power rental market has been analyzed with respect to 6 regions, namely, North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East. The market in North America is estimated to be the largest during the forecast period. Increasing power demand and aging infrastructure are some of the key factors responsible for the growth of the power rental market. According to National Energy Board Canada, total export of 72.1 tWh (tera watt hours) of electricity was done to US in 2017.

The US government have been trying to reduce the electricity import in the country over a decade. But the increasing oil prices have impacted the growth, creating the power deficit. The deficit provides market opportunity for power rental solution. Such factors would boost the power rental market in the region during the forecast period.

The major players in the global power rental market are Aggreko (UK), Caterpillar (US), United Rental (US), Atlas Copco (Sweden), Cummins (US), Ashtead Group (UK), SEL (US), APR Energy (US), Kohler (US), Rental Solutions & Services (UAE), HERC (US), Generac Power Systems (US), Wacker Neuson (Germany), and Wartsila Corporation (Finalnc). Aggreko, United Rental, Caterpillar are the prominent player of the power rental market. The players are adopting inorganic growth strategies for the expansion of their presence in various regions

*Market Developments*· United Rentals, Inc. acquired NES Rentals Holdings II, Inc. The acquisition is expected to increase the company's presence in the East Coast, Gulf states, and the Midwest of the US.
· Aggreko received a contract to provide around 60 generators supplying more than 10 MVA (mega volt ampere) of energy, distributed through more than 240 panel and 26 km of cable for Glasgow 2018 European Championship
· Caterpillar Inc. and Ritchie Bros. formed a partnership under which Ritchie Bros. will become Caterpillar's preferred global partner for onsite and online auctions for used Caterpillar equipment. The partnership is expected to strengthen Ritchie Bros. relationship with independent Caterpillar dealers around the world by providing them enhanced and continued access to a global auction marketplace to sell their used equipment.*Key Topics Covered**1 Introduction*

Dublin, Nov. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia Pacific Biopharma Excipients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Polyols, Solubilizers & Surfactants/Emulsifiers, Carbohydrates, Specialty Excipients) And Segment Forecasts, 2018 - 2025" report has been added to *ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.

The Asia Pacific biopharma excipients market size is poised to reach USD 791.4 million by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.63% during the forecast period.

Patent expiry of blockbuster biologics such as Erbitux, Rituxan, Herceptin, Avastin, Aranesp, and Enbrel by 2030 is encouraging investments in biosimilars R&D by biopharma players. Soaring need for novel additives for development of biologics such as those enhancing lyophilization performance to improve stability of biologics is anticipated to boost the demand for excipients.

As per drug sales record of 2016, eight out of ten top-selling drugs are biologics. Upcoming patent expiry of biologics is leading to increased R&D for biosimilar formulations. Biopharma players in the market are adopting price reduction strategies in order to promote their products. This is triggering the need for consideration of pricing strategy among excipient manufacturers.

Presence of challenges in development of a stable form of biotherapeutic is urging manufacturers to develop novel excipients. Processing and storage of biomolecules are complicated as these products undergo degradation after a slight change in environmental conditions. Rising demand for chemicals that are compatible with these biomolecules and serve additional functions such as binding, bulking, and efficient delivery is stimulating the growth of the market.

Technological advancements, such as implementation of nanotechnology in the development of novel compounds to enhance drug delivery, are likely to drive the market. For instance, an Australian provider of microencapsulation for drug delivery, Ceramisphere, expanded its operations for production of nanoparticles with extended-release capacity.

Furthermore, Asian countries such as India & China serve as major markets for biogenerics. Key pharmaceutical players in the market are increasing their R&D activities on follow-on-biologic. Biologics R&D is outsourced to CROs in the region as a consequence of cost efficiency provided by them, which is consequently boosting the demand for excipients.

*Further key findings from the report suggest:*

· Carbohydrates accounted the largest revenue share due to substantial product penetration in the market owing to higher availability of raw materials as well as easy molecular processing characteristics
· In terms of revenue, the polyols segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.90% during the forecast period
· Japan dominated the market in terms of revenue. However, in terms of sale volume, the Japanese economy was not on the top as a consequence of high product pricing
· In February 2014, International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council of India (IPEC) was launched. Leading international pharmaceutical companies are founder members of this council, which includes Dow Chemicals, Lubrizol, BASF, SPI Pharma, Colorcon, Indchem International. It is estimated to assist the government of India in evolving direction, standards, and development of the excipient industry in the country, thus working in favor of the market
· In August 2016, China FDA announced to review excipients as a part of new drug application. The former system considered separate review approvals for a drug, its excipient, and its active ingredient.
· Some key companies present in the market are Roquette, DFE Pharma, Pharmonix, Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing Corp., IMCD, Clariant, Signet Chemical Corporation Pvt. Ltd., Sigachi Industries Pvt. Ltd., ABITEC, Colorcon, Meggle AG, SPI Pharma, and BASF SE. *

SUZHOU, China, Nov. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alphamab Oncology announced the successful completion of series A financing round, with more than $100 million raised. A number of well-regarded institutional investors, including Advantech Capital, PAG, China Venture Capital Fund^[1], OrbiMed, Heritage Provider Network and Janchor Partners, participated in the financing.

Alphamab Oncology plans to use the proceeds to advance global clinical development of its innovative pipeline, especially its second-generation immuno-oncology medicine, to expand its global clinical and commercial teams, as well as to complete the ongoing construction of its state-of-the-art biologics manufacturing facilities.

Alphamab Oncology inherited Suzhou Alphamab's oncology pipeline and related technology platforms. The company focuses on the research and development of innovative biologics for cancer therapy, and it has developed several proprietary and robust technology platforms for bispecific and mixed antibodies. Leveraging on these world-leading protein engineering platforms, Alphamab Oncology is well positioned to develop next-generation multi-functional biologics therapy for cancer treatment.

So far, four drug candidates in Alphamab Oncology's pipeline have advanced into clinical development phase:

· KN035 (Envafolimab), the world's leading subcutaneously-administered PD-L1antibody, has entered pivotal trials in China and is expanding its indications. KN035 was discovered and developed internally. It is in partnership with 3D Medicines on the clinical development
· KN046, the world's first PD-L1 - CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, was also solely developed internally. It is in phase I clinical trial in Australia, and will soon kick off multiple phase I/II clinical trials in China, with BLA enabling trials planned as well.
· KN026, the anti-HER2 bispecific antibody, has entered phase I clinical trial in China. With the recent US IND approval, its US phase I trial will be initiated in the near future.
· Phase I clinical trials of the immunomodulator KN019 in China are being wrapped up, and phase II clinical trial is expected in H1, 2019.

^[1] China Venture Capital Fund is completing the closing process.

Dr. Xu Ting, Chairman and CEO of Alphamab Oncology, said: "We are honored to be recognized and supported by these well-regarded investors. We expect to work with them to expedite the progress in global clinical trial and commercialization of our highly differentiated and innovative products, to further strengthen our presence and unique advantages in the fast-growing global immuno-oncology drug market, and to bring much needed innovative therapies to global cancer patients sooner than later. Meanwhile, we are looking for collaboration opportunities to expand our footage in oncology area."

Advantech Capital's Co-Head of Healthcare Investment, Mr. Qiu Yumin commented, "Alphamab Oncology team, under the leadership of Dr. Xu Ting, has been leading the biologics drug innovation in China, in terms of R&D capability and track record.

With the construction of new manufacturing site on track, Alphamab Oncology has presented huge potential to develop into a fully integrated bio-pharmaceutical company across the entire value chain."

He added, "Healthcare is one of the two investment focuses at Advantech. As a leading player in developing next-generation biotherapeutics, Alphamab Oncology fits well with Advantech's philosophy of investing in high-tech and high growth potential targets. Advantech will support the company in building a world-class immuno-oncology company."

Dr. Dong Lyu, Executive Director of PAG said: "The company team led by Dr. Xu Ting has accumulated a wealth of R&D experience in the field of antibody drugs, both in novel single-domain antibodies and in bispecific antibody drugs. The company has formed a robust pipeline of antibody drugs built on its proprietary platforms, which are all industry-leading. Alphamab Oncology currently has several products in different stages of clinical research in China, the United States, Japan and Australia, with the most advanced product in its pipeline, KN035, expected to obtain market approval within a relatively short period of time with a distinct clinical advantage. In addition, Alphamab Oncology has started constructing a commercial manufacturing site, with a number of cGMP production lines meeting NMPA, EMA and FDA requirements, allowing Alphamab Oncology to cover the entire product development life cycle from early screening and engineering of antibody/protein drugs, cell line construction and small batch tests, pilot scale amplification and preparation of clinical research samples, to mass production of commercialized products."

Dr. Dong Lyu continued, "PAG has a long track record of investing in the healthcare sector, and a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of innovative drugs, especially in the field of biologics. We see Alphamab Oncology as a leader in the area of innovative biological drugs, and have full confidence in the future of the company. PAG is committed to working with Alphamab Oncology to build a global leader in the development and production of biological drugs for oncology and immunotherapy."

Mr. Shaojing Ma, Managing Director of China Venture Capital Fund (CVC) commented, "China innovative drug industry is embracing superior development opportunities, within which the innovative oncology biologics sector has become a focus with tremendous market potential. With world-class R&D capability, Alphamab Oncology has the potential to become a leader of China biopharmaceutical industry. Dr. Ting Xu is a preeminent entrepreneur, and he has deep understanding of the market and technology. The investment will strongly promote the industrialization of innovative biotech in China, fitting well with the investment strategy of CVC.

Veteran L Sarita Devi and rookie Manisha Mouna gave India a flying start in the women's World Boxing Championship with dominating victories in their respective bouts on Friday.

While Manisha punched above her weight to outclass veteran American Christina Cruz in a unanimous verdict in 554kg, 2006 edition gold medallist Sarita (60kg) had to work harder to emerge 4-0 winner on points against Diana Sandra Brugger of Switzerland in their opening bouts at the KD Jadhav Stadium in New Delhi.

Both Sarita and Manisha advanced to the prequarterfinals where they will face Kellie Herrington of Ireland and Dina Zholaman of Kazakhstan respectively on Sunday. Harrington had won a silver in 64kg in the 2016 World Championships but she has gone one weight category down in this tournament. She beat Troy Garton of New Zealand on Friday.

Zholaman is the defending world champion but Manisha has beaten her in the Silesian Women's Boxing championship in Poland earlier this year. The 20-year-old Manisha from Haryana, who was making her debut in the World Championships, was in complete control during the first round bout against the American who is almost twice her age.

The 36-year-old Cruz from New York was the last edition's bronze medallist besides winning the same colour of medal in 2012 also. Manisha, who had won a gold in the India Open and a silver in the Poland event this year, was the clear winner as she dominated all the three rounds. The five judges gave her a unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-26, 30-26, 29-28).

Manisha's mother Usha Rani and grandmother Saroj Devi, who had come all the way from Kaithal, were at the stands to watch her bout. "I am very proud for winning my first bout in the World Championships. I have proved that I can be at this stage. I will give my best and see how far I can go. I am confident of doing well in the coming rounds," she said. "My next bout is against the world champion but I have beaten her in Poland. It will be tough but I can beat her," she added.

Asked about the strategy for the bout, she said everything went according to plan. "My coaches told me to play from a distance. Her (Cruz's) right was very strong so coaches told me to watch here right. I tried to miss her punches from the right and attacked from the left. That was the plan and I did just that," she said.

"The first round was about observing my opponent and find out what to do and what not to do. In the second round, I went with the plan and I was able to land my punches. In the third round, I went for attack and gave the best attack and won the bout," she added.

Zholaman, who beat Muzuki Hiruta of Japan 4-1, said Manisha is a "good" boxer. "I lost to her (Manisha) in Poland but that is boxing, it happens. She is a good boxer," said the Kazakh.

The 36-year-old Sarita faced a tough fight from her experienced Swiss opponent, who also has been in the international circuit for more than a decade, before winning 4-0 (28-28, 29-28, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28). The Manipuri boxer, who has been competing in the World Championships since the first edition in 2001, was clearly the better boxer as all the five judges gave points in her favour.

In the second round, the Swiss got a standing count after a hard punch from Sarita landed on her face. Still, one judge gave the Swiss 10-9. In the third round, Sarita showed signs of tiredness but she carried through the bout. Only one judge ruled in her favour in the third round while the other four awarded identical 10-9 in favour of the Swiss.

After the bout, Sarita admitted that she was finding it difficult to control her opponent. "In the first round I was trying to observe her and find out how to go about in the next two rounds. But she came attacking from the first round itself. I was finding it difficult to control her," she said.

"Under the new points system, you need to have a proper guard and combination of punches to fetch points. That was what I was doing. She got a standing count in the second round and in the third round I was trying to attack."

Sarita dedicated the win to the people of Manipur who had contributed financially to pay the fine after she was banned for one year in 2014 following the Incheon Asian Games controversy in which she refused to accept the bronze medal at the victory ceremony.

"The people of Manipur contributed money to pay my fine and so I dedicate this win to them." In other bouts of the day, 2016 World Championship and Rio Olympics bronze medallist Mira Potkonen of Finland beat Commonwealth Games gold winner Anja Stridsman of Australia in 60kg.

Another Rio bronze winner in 60kg, Anastasia Beliakova of Russia moved to the pre-quarters with a unanimous verdict win over Elisa Williams of Panama. In 48kg, Algerim Kassenayeva of Kazakhstan beat Jazzelle Bobadilla of United States in a 3-2 split decision to earn the right to face five-time world champion M C Mary Kom on Sunday.
