The 2009 Import and Export Market for Plastics in Solution and Nonaqueous Paints, Varnishes, Enamels, and Lacquers Based on Synthetic or Chemically Modified Natural Polymers in Germany

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers in Germany face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers to Germany? How important is Germany compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers vary from one country of origin to another in Germany? On the supply side, Germany also exports plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers. Which countries receive the most exports from Germany? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers in Germany. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for plastics in solution and nonaqueous paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic or chemically modified natural polymers for those countries serving Germany via exports, or supplying from Germany via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical
