The 2011 Import and Export Market for Non-Electric Furnaces and Ovens for the Roasting, Melting, or Other Heat Treatment of Ores, Pyrites, or Metals in Austria

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on non-electric furnaces and ovens for the roasting, melting, or other heat treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals in Austria face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying non-electric furnaces and ovens for the roasting, melting, or other heat treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals to Austria? How important is Austria compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of non-electric furnaces and ovens for the roasting, melting, or other heat treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals vary from one country of origin to another in Austria? On the supply side, Austria also exports non-electric furnaces and ovens for the roasting, melting, or other heat treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals.

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for non-electric furnaces and ovens for the roasting, melting, or other heat treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals for those countries serving Austria via exports, or supplying from Austria via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
