Hi I work for a local bottle filling machine manufacturing company. At
the moment we mainly supply filling machines to the dairy and beverage
markets, we intend to extend our scope of supply and expand into the
personal care market and detergent market, I hope an experienced
research can answer the following questions we have, to give us some
idea of the new markets that we are not familiar of

(1)what was the growth of personal care market in australia and
internationally over the past 5 years?
(2)what was the growth of detergent product market in australia and
internationally over the past 5 years?
(3)can you provide a list of local or international personal care
product companies (must be producing in Australia) that are medium to
large in size? what forms of packaging do they use to store a majority
of their product? eg bottle, plastube etc
(4)can you provide a list of local or international detergent
manufacturers in Australia (that are producing in Australia) that are
medium to large in size? what forms of packaging do they use to store
a majority of their product? eg spray bottle, spray can etc
(5)is there any other personal care/detergent market trend that may be
useful for us to know?

please let me know if you need further clarification on any of the
above questions. thanks for your help in advance

Clarification of Question by icon_equipment-ga on 21 Jun 2005 18:36 PDT

please ignore questions 3 and 4

Dear Icon Equipment, 

Your question is about to expire without having been answered, and you
might be disappointed.

One of the possible reasons for that might be that you have asked
three (initially five) questions, on the same post. If a Researcher
had found an answer only to two of them, who couldn't have answered
the question. It might have been better to post each of these
enquiries separately.

In addition, considering that these are three market-research
questions, the pricing might be a bit low for the type of research
requested. A lot of market-research information is only available in
for-fee databases, for example. Other reports are not easy to find.

Here is a link to guidelines about pricing your question, in the
pricing guide: https://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html - I
hope this would help you price your next questions on Google Answers.
