The World Market for Silicon-Electrical Steel Flat-Rolled Products: A 2011 Global Trade Perspective

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for silicon-electrical steel flat-rolled products. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact.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 silicon-electrical steel flat-rolled products for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying silicon-electrical steel flat-rolled products? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of silicon-electrical steel flat-rolled products vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of silicon-electrical steel flat-rolled products? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
