About gout

Gout is the most common form of systemic inflammatory arthritis1. Elevated serum urate (SU) levels can lead to the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in joints and other tissues, causing flares, joint damage and intense pain2. Uncontrolled gout is a systemic, progressive disease characterised by SU levels above 6 mg/dL and persistent, debilitating clinical manifestations, including flares and/or tophi, despite treatment with oral urate-lowering therapies3,4. Elevated SU levels have also been associated with cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases. Sustained serum urate (SU) lowering is central to gout management, promoting dissolution of monosodium urate crystals, limiting further crystal deposition, and reducing gout symptoms.

About pozdeutinurad

Pozdeutinurad (AR882) is an investigational once daily oral, highly selective URAT1 inhibitor being developed to treat uncontrolled gout. Phase 2 studies demonstrated clinically significant efficacy with a sustained reduction of serum urate (SU) levels, dissolution of tophi and a generally well-tolerated safety profile. Pozdeutinurad is being evaluated in more than 800 patients, two 12-month, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies, REDUCE 1 and REDUCE 2, assessing its ability to reduce SU in patients with uncontrolled gout.

About NASP (nanoencapsulated sirolimus plus pegadricase)

NASP is a novel, investigational medicine designed to reduce serum urate (SU) levels in people living with uncontrolled gout. NASP is administered every 4 weeks as a sequential, two-component, infusion therapy with a built-in immunomodulator, consisting of tolerogenic nanoencapsulated sirolimus (NAS) which mitigates the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) and a uricase, pegadricase (P), which reduces SU.

Sobi®

Sobi is a global biopharma company unlocking the potential of breakthrough innovations, transforming everyday life for people living with rare diseases. Sobi has approximately 2,000 employees across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. In 2025, revenue amounted to SEK 28 billion.

Asset manager margins squeezed as infrastructure bill climbs, PwC finds

Infrastructure moves up the strategic agenda as asset managers confront margin pressure

LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrastructure is moving from the back office to the centre of asset managers' strategy. With profit per AuM down 19% since 2018 and projected to fall another 9.1% by 2030, decisions on what to build, buy or access through partners now shape how firms compete, according to PwC's Global Asset Management Infrastructure: Rethinking the industry's piping report. 67% say fee compression is limiting their ability to invest.

Spending is also tied to the past: only 23% of asset managers direct most of their technology budget to new capabilities, while 29% spend more than 70% of it maintaining legacy systems.

Surveying 150 asset managers and 50 infrastructure providers, the report finds AI is sharpening these constraints. Some 24% cite data fragmentation and 17% legacy systems as major barriers to scaling AI.

Roland Kastoun, Global Asset and Wealth Management Advisory Leader, PwC, notes: "The industry's profits per dollar managed have fallen by almost a fifth, and the bill for the pipes keeps rising. The managers who survive the next five years won't be the ones with the flashiest AI, but rather the ones who fixed the so-called boring stuff first."

Market data is seen as poor value for money, with 58% ranking it among the most expensive infrastructure layers relative to the value delivered, ahead of regulatory reporting systems (47%) and core technology platforms (46%).

Meanwhile, some 70% of infrastructure providers expect a larger share of industry revenues, while 68% name hyperscale cloud providers as the main emerging threat.

"Seven in ten infrastructure providers expect to take a bigger slice of the pie, which tells you where the power in this industry is quietly shifting," said Björn Ebert, Financial Services Leader, PwC Luxembourg.

Some 44% favour hybrid sourcing models combining in-house, bought and partnered capabilities, compared with 21% who prefer to buy, 18% to partner and 13% to build in-house.

The report identifies four emerging infrastructure archetypes, namely infrastructure orchestrators, digital and tokenisation platforms, specialist modular providers and integrated asset managers. No single model fits every firm. Each must decide what to own, what to standardise and where a specialist can do the job better. Those who decide early will be better placed to protect margins through 2030.

Nach China: Deutsche Autobauer sollten Indiens E-Auto-Aufschwung jetzt nutzen

Frankfurt (ots)

Elektroautos nähern sich in Indien der Zehn-Prozent-Marke bei den Pkw-Neuzulassungen. Im September 2026 haben sich die BEV-Zulassungszahlen gegenüber dem Vorjahresmonat nahezu verdoppelt. Während Tata und Mahindra & Mahindra im September 63 Prozent aller batterieelektrischen Pkw-Neuzulassungen auf sich vereinten, schließt sich für europäische Autobauer das Zeitfenster für den Ausbau der Marktposition zunehmend.

Indien könnte vor dem Durchbruch zur nächsten großen Elektromobilitätsnation stehen. Die aktuelle internationale Elektromobilitätsstudie der Management- und Technologieberatung BearingPoint zeigt für den indischen Markt einen bemerkenswerten Abstand zwischen der Kaufbereitschaft urbaner Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten und der bisherigen Marktentwicklung: Unter den Befragten, die innerhalb der kommenden drei Jahre wahrscheinlich ein Fahrzeug erwerben werden, bevorzugen 39 Prozent ein neues batterieelektrisches Fahrzeug (BEV). Weitere 25 Prozent würden sich für einen Hybrid- oder Plug-in-Hybrid entscheiden. Lediglich 17 Prozent bevorzugen einen neuen Benziner oder Diesel. Gleichzeitig lag der Anteil von Elektrofahrzeugen an den Pkw-Neuzulassungen in Indien laut FADA zum Jahresende 2025 noch bei lediglich vier Prozent. Die jüngsten Zulassungszahlen zeigen jedoch eine deutliche Dynamik: Nach einem kontinuierlichen Anstieg im Verlauf des Jahres 2026 erreichte der Anteil batterieelektrischer Fahrzeuge im September bereits über acht Prozent.

"Viele deutsche und europäische Hersteller blicken derzeit vor allem auf China und die USA. Dabei könnte Indien der nächste große Wachstumsmotor der globalen Elektromobilität werden. Die Kombination aus hoher Kaufbereitschaft, steigenden BEV-Zulassungen und der bereits starken Position lokaler Hersteller erinnert an frühere Skalierungsphasen anderer großer Elektromobilitätsmärkte. Das Zeitfenster für einen erfolgreichen Markteintritt steht nicht unbegrenzt offen. Wer jetzt keine belastbare lokale Marktposition aufbaut, riskiert, einen entscheidenden Teil der Wachstumsphase zu verpassen", kommentiert Manuel Schuler, globaler Leiter Automotive bei BearingPoint.

Finanzierbarkeit entscheidet über die nächste Phase des Marktwachstums

Anders als in vielen etablierten westlichen Automobilmärkten spielt die Finanzierung bei der Anschaffung eines neuen Fahrzeugs in Indien eine besonders wichtige Rolle. Dabei ist für viele Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher nicht allein der Fahrzeugpreis ausschlaggebend, sondern auch die monatliche finanzielle Belastung.

Diese Besonderheit spiegelt sich deutlich in den Studienergebnissen wider: Mit 43 Prozent bevorzugen die Befragten eine Fahrzeugfinanzierung, während sich lediglich 34 Prozent für einen Barkauf entscheiden. Indien ist damit der Einzige der untersuchten Märkte, in dem Finanzierungsmodelle den Barkauf bereits übertreffen. Gleichzeitig verzeichnen Auto-Abo-Modelle mit über sechs Prozent den höchsten Wert aller untersuchten Länder.

Für Hersteller ergibt sich daraus ein klarer Ansatzpunkt: Neben dem Fahrzeugpreis sollten sie die monatliche finanzielle Belastung stärker in den Blick nehmen und durch passende Finanzierungsangebote den Zugang zur Elektromobilität erleichtern. Dazu zählen beispielsweise Battery-as-a-Service-Konzepte, getrennte Finanzierungsmodelle für Fahrzeuge und Batterien oder Batteriewechselsysteme.

Lokale Hersteller setzen internationale Wettbewerber unter Druck

Während in vielen Märkten technologische Innovationen im Mittelpunkt stehen, dominieren in Indien klassische Vertrauensfaktoren die Kaufentscheidung. Als wichtigste Kriterien nennen die Studienteilnehmenden Fahrzeugsicherheit (66 Prozent), Garantieumfang (63 Prozent), Reparierbarkeit der Batterie (62 Prozent), Vertrauen in die Markenqualität (61 Prozent) sowie Wartungs- und Reparaturkosten (61 Prozent). Digitale Funktionen, technologischer Vorsprung und Design spielen eine deutlich geringere Rolle.

Von diesen Präferenzen profitieren insbesondere lokal etablierte Hersteller. Tata Motors und Mahindra & Mahindra führen nicht nur das Markenranking der Befragten an, sondern vereinten im September 2026 laut FADA zusammen rund 63 Prozent aller batterieelektrischen Pkw-Neuzulassungen in Indien auf sich. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass lokales Vertrauen, Marktnähe und ein leistungsfähiges Service-Ökosystem derzeit wichtiger sind als globale Markenbekanntheit allein. Für internationale Hersteller wird es dadurch zunehmend schwieriger, ohne lokale Verankerung relevante Marktanteile aufzubauen.

Gebrauchte Elektrofahrzeuge werden zum zusätzlichen Wachstumsmotor

Auch der Gebrauchtwagenmarkt könnte eine wichtige Rolle für die weitere Verbreitung der Elektromobilität in Indien spielen. 27 Prozent der Befragten bewerten den Kauf eines gebrauchten Elektrofahrzeugs als sehr attraktiv. Damit liegt Indien deutlich vor Deutschland, den USA und Großbritannien.

Voraussetzung für ein weiteres Marktwachstum bleibt jedoch das Vertrauen in die Batterie. 44 Prozent der Befragten geben an, dass ein zertifizierter Bericht zur Batteriegesundheit ihre Wahrscheinlichkeit erhöhen würde, ein gebrauchtes Elektrofahrzeug zu erwerben. Batteriezertifikate, Garantien und professionelle Gebrauchtwagenprogramme könnten daher zu wichtigen Bausteinen künftiger Geschäftsmodelle werden.

"Die hohe Offenheit gegenüber gebrauchten Elektrofahrzeugen zeigt, dass viele Verbraucher nicht zwingend nach dem neuesten Modell suchen, sondern nach einem bezahlbaren und verlässlichen Einstieg in die Elektromobilität. Für Hersteller liegt hier ein Hebel: zertifizierte Gebrauchtwagenprogramme und Batteriezertifikate schaffen Vertrauen und senken die Einstiegshürde", so Manuel Schuler.

Lokale Wertschöpfung entscheidet über den Markterfolg

Für internationale Hersteller reicht es daher nicht aus, Elektrofahrzeuge lediglich nach Indien zu exportieren. Die Studienergebnisse und die Entwicklung des Marktes zeigen, dass langfristiger Erfolg eine starke lokale Verankerung erfordert. Neben wettbewerbsfähigen Produkten gewinnen lokale Produktionskapazitäten, regionale Partnerschaften und die Integration in entstehende indische Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke zunehmend an Bedeutung.

Die Entwicklung erinnert in Teilen an die frühen Wachstumsjahre des chinesischen Elektromobilitätsmarktes. Hersteller, die frühzeitig lokale Kompetenzen, Partnerschaften und Wertschöpfung aufbauen, können nicht nur am Wachstum partizipieren, sondern die zukünftige Wettbewerbslandschaft aktiv mitgestalten.

"Deutsche und europäische Automobilhersteller müssen entscheiden, welche Rolle sie beim Aufbau des indischen Ökosystems für Elektromobilität übernehmen wollen. Die Erfahrungen aus China zeigen, dass frühe Investitionen in lokale Partnerschaften und Wertschöpfung erhebliche Wachstumschancen schaffen können. Deutsche und europäische Hersteller konnten über viele Jahre von Marktzugang, Skaleneffekten und profitablen Joint Ventures profitieren. Gleichzeitig trugen diese Partnerschaften zum Aufbau eines zunehmend eigenständigen und global wettbewerbsfähigen lokalen Automobilökosystems bei. Ob Indien eine vergleichbare Entwicklung vollziehen wird, ist offen. Die strategische Leitlinie bleibt jedoch dieselbe: Wer heute lokale Kompetenzen und Partnerschaften aufbaut, partizipiert am Wachstum und prägt zugleich die Wettbewerbslandschaft von morgen", resümiert Manuel Schuler.

Über die Umfrage

Die BearingPoint-Studie basiert auf einer internationalen Online-Befragung von Autofahrerinnen, Autofahrern und potenziellen Fahrzeugkäufern in Deutschland, Großbritannien, den USA, China und Indien. Insgesamt wurden rund 10.000 Personen befragt. Die Erhebungen fanden länderspezifisch zwischen Ende Januar und Ende März 2026 statt. Abgefragt wurden unter anderem Kaufabsichten, bevorzugte Antriebsarten, Nutzungs- und Finanzierungsmodelle, Markenpräferenzen und Einstellungen zu gebrauchten Elektrofahrzeugen. Die indische Stichprobe hat einen urbanen Schwerpunkt. Die Ergebnisse beschreiben daher insbesondere die Perspektive urbaner indischer Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten.
