On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in Europe face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale to Europe? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale vary from one country to another in Europe? Do exporters serving the market in Europe have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, Europe also sells to the international market of paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale. Which countries in Europe supply the most exports of paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale in Europe. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale for those countries serving Europe
