The US Market for Arts and Crafts to Exceed US$40 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn ? Arts and crafts represent a principal component of socio-economic life and an integral element of the culture of every country. Like all other sectors, Arts and Crafts Stores were adversely affected by the global economic downturn which resulted in an overall decline in sales during the 2008-09 period. While consumer spending on certain types of craft declined significantly, purchases of certain other craft items such as sewing goods, cake decorating and jewelry making supplies increased, as people attempted to achieve savings by making products themselves. As a result, the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement gained significant traction during this period.

An out-of-the-ordinary trend that is being witnessed in recent times is that crafts that were previously the exclusive domain of the middle-aged and the older women group are now extending scope to include the younger population, even the male demography. With these and other consumers exhibiting increasing interest, stores are conducting various art related workshops to provide lessons in such skills. Further, the market is also witnessing a trend of recycling or reconstruction of old and unused items. This trend which was widely prevalent during the time of the great depression is making a comeback in the current cash constrained economic scenario. Consumers, instead of deposing items are recycling them to give them a new look and extend their functionality.

For over half-a-century, the global market for fine arts was dominated by the US and the UK. But in 2010, a marked shift was witnessed in this leadership, as China owing to its economic strength and favorable political climate overpowered the two countries and emerged into the forefront of the global fine arts auction industry. The country became a global hub for fine arts, attracting art collectors from various countries across the world.

The research report titled ?Arts and Crafts Stores: A Global Outlook? announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report offers an aerial view of the industry, highlights latest trends and demand drivers, in addition to providing statistical insights. Regional markets briefly abstracted and covered include United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa The report offers a compilation of recent mergers, acquisitions, and strategic corporate developments. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.

Sewa Day goes global on Sunday 25th September 2011

(PRWEB) September 22, 2011

Sewa Day, a volunteering initiative taking place on Sunday 25th September 2011, is to go global this year with projects in more than 15 countries including Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Indonesia, UK and the USA. On the day, thousands of volunteers of all ages will be doing Sewa - which means 'be of service' - and their combined efforts will improve the lives of thousands of people. Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is the latest celebrity to pledge his support, urging the public to give a few hours of their time to help build community participation across the globe.

Communities will be donating their time as thousands are expected to take part in local projects being planned that include:

Removing trash and debris from the Tecolote Canyon ecosystem in San Diego, USA.
Increasing the numbers donating organs to help save people?s lives by organ transplants.
Nature conservation, clearing encroaching scrub, preserving and protecting heather and
heathland biodiversity as well as plant seeds and harvesting crops

Soup kitchens and multi-faith meal preparation for distribution of food to the homeless
Entertaining elders in hospices, nursing and residential homes

Each project organised is based on at least one of the guiding principles below:

Help relieve hardship / poverty

Bring a little joy

Help the environment

Sewa Day, which last year saw more than 5,000 people from over 50 cultural, community and faith organisations volunteering for 130 projects throughout the UK, including Bradford, Oldham, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Northampton, Luton and across London, hopes to attract 15,000 worldwide. Schools, community organisations, companies and individuals have already been contacted to help with or to be allocated to a worthy project in their area. Many local councils, schools, temples, mosques and businesses have enlisted their support for this initiative. These include:

Croydon Borough Council in London, the first local authority to fully embrace the initiative
Banking group Lloyds TSB Plc
Tata Consultancy Services
Polaris Software
Vascroft Contractors

Many well-know celebrities and personalities are also backing the campaign, such as: actress Meera Syal, actor Kulvinder Ghir, actor Raj Ghatak, TV presenter Arti Halai, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, London Mayor Boris Johnson and Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh among others.

Arup Ganguly, Chairman of Sewa Day commented: "Contrary to all the recent negative press in the UK that has focused on those responsible for the civil unrest we saw in August, we believe in the concept of helping others in need and that this should be encouraged whether we are in the midst of a recession or not. Last year, Sewa Day saw volunteers from over 50 organisations undertake over 130 projects and following on from last year's phenomenal success we want to treble the number of those taking part. We are especially pleased to such positive community support from other countries."

Arup added: "There is no better sense of fulfilment than putting a smile on somebody's face - especially the vulnerable, the poor, the sick and the needy. This is the real power of sewa. Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity open to all."

"Sewa Day aims to deliberately stay away from fundraising activities with the belief that hands-on volunteering is one of the most important and effective ways for individuals to increase their positive impact in the community and leverage a key resource beyond cash."

Sewa Day is an initiative of Sewa UK, a secular, non-political UK registered charity, (Charity No: 1135425).
