Chinese Firm Eyes USD 2 billion Investment in Pakistan

RUYI, a leading Chinese company, has recently announced its decision to make a USD 2 billion investment in Pakistan’s textile and energy sectors. The investment will be made over a period of two years and RUYI also plans to set up power plants that will generate electricity to the capacity of nearly 600MW using coal as a fuel.

The investment proposal was discussed by a four-member delegation from RUYI that comprised its group chairman Yafu Qiu and the Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan. The proposal was discussed with the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

During this meeting, the delegation conveyed to the Pakistani Prime Minister that the company intended to make a significant investment of USD 2 billion mainly in the textile and energy sectors of the country. Nawaz Sharif had visited China in 2013, and the delegation’s visit to the country was a follow up of this.

As part of the investment proposal, the Chinese company said that it would be constructing two different coal-fired power plants, each with a 300MW generation capacity. The European Union recently granted Pakistan with the GPS plus status, and this has made the country an attractive investment destination for players in the global textile industry.

According to Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the country’s government has effected several structural reforms in order to make investments in the economy more attractive for both foreign as well as local enterprises.

Currently, the government is adopting an aggressive approach in introducing investor friendly policies so as to attract as much business as it can.


Speaking of the decision of RUYI to invest in Pakistan, the Pakistani Prime Minister said that it would create several jobs and add to the economic development of the country.

Hadoop Market is Expected to Reach USD 20.9 Billion Globally in 2018: Transparency Market Research

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research “Hadoop Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2012 – 2018,” the global Hadoop market was worth USD 1.5 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 20.9 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 54.7% from 2012 to 2018. North America was the largest market for Hadoop in 2012 due to huge amounts of data generated in the region and the growing need to store and process the accumulated data.


The Hadoop market is driven by exponentially growing volumes of unstructured data and Hadoop’s capacity to access data at faster speed and cheaper cost as compared to conventional systems such as RDBMS. Not just organizations such as NASA, Apple, Wal-Mart, Facebook or Google, but almost every Fortune 500 company deals with an enormous data warehouse, where massive amount of data has been accumulated. Hadoop not only adds new capabilities in the data management system and can manage unstructured data; it can do so at a higher speed and lower cost. This has resulted in Hadoop gaining popularity in recent years as one of the best big data management solutions available.

However, the market faces certain challenges such as unavailability of qualified and experienced work professionals, who can effectively handle the Hadoop architecture. Companies across almost all the application sectors are looking for qualified work professionals to handle this architecture. Additionally, Hadoop being a new architecture, subsequent lack of awareness of its benefits among large and mid-sized companies, results in lower adoption.

By type, the Hadoop market has been segmented into - hardware, software and services. Services segment accounted for about half of the market share followed by hardware in 2012. It is expected to maintain its leading position throughout the forecast period. The complexities associated in handling Hadoop architecture is primarily contributing to the growth of the services segment. However, the software segment will witness fastest growth during the forecast period and will surpass the hardware segment in terms of revenue by 2017. This is due to continuous technology changes taking place in the software market.

Among different application sectors for the Hadoop market, the government sector is the largest followed by BFSI, healthcare and life sciences, and retail. The government sector has access to large pools of data and faces several challenges related to data management and data handling. Telecommunication is in the initial stage of Hadoop implementation and by the middle of the forecast period (i.e., after 2014), this sector is expected to see full-fledged adoption of Hadoop architecture. As a result, it is estimated to see the fastest growth during the period 2012 – 2018.

Geographically,Europe is expected to see the fastest growth due to increasing adoption of Hadoop across several application segments such as the government sector, retail, and BFSI among others. Europe is an emerging market for Hadoop and the leading players of this market such as Cloudera, Inc. and Hortonworks are focusing on this region to acquire the major chunk of the market.

Cloudera, Inc, Hortonworks, MapR, Pentaho, Teradata, IBM, Karmasphere, EMC-Greenplum, and HP among others are the popular players in the Hadoop market, where Cloudera, Inc. enjoys the maximum revenue share. Cloudera recently introduced its new SQL-on-Hadoop solution named “Impala”, an open-source, interactive SQL query engine. Currently, Cloudera, Inc leads the market but Hortonworks, MapR and Greenplum are expected to emerge as powerful Hadoop vendors in the long run. Along with this, the mergers and acquisitions taking place in this industry are increasing the number of new entrants in this market.

China to Soon Emerge as Ukraine’s Top Military Technology Partner

China has emerged as the biggest customer for the military industry in the Ukraine. Ukraine, the former Soviet state, will likely see China becoming its foremost partner for military technology very soon, according to reports published in Duowei News that is run by Chinese expats.

Sino-Ukrainian diplomatic ties marked their 20th anniversary in 2013. Ukraine has been credited with being rather instrumental in propelling China’s progress in the military sector over this period.

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Ukraine, which has been credited with much of China's military development during this period. Thus, far, Ukraine has reportedly exported as many as thirty different types of technologies in the military domain to the mainland. These include technologies that are related to large vessels, aircraft carriers, tank engines, trainer aircraft, as well as air-to-air missiles.

It was following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 that China began to cooperate with Ukraine. Following this, a number of highly skilled researchers were offered job opportunities by various foreign countries including Germany, Israel, the U.S., and Singapore. At this point, China also recruited a number of national-level research professionals using attractive incentives such as free visas and flight tickets. The positive Sino-Soviet relations played a key role in ensuring the success of this recruitment initiative by China.

In the early 1990s though, China lagged behind slightly in military technology. While initially this technological exchange was easier, Soviet research experts eventually began to demand more money and were willing to share much less information pertaining to technology sharing.

It was at this point that the then Chinese premier Li Peng introduced an initiative wherein special awards for friendship were handed out to foreign research professionals for their scientific contributions.

In fact, reports have indicated that China has introduced one of the highest numbers of technical and research experts from not just Russia, but the other Soviet Union countries.
