On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on hand-operated spanners, wrenches, interchangeable spanner sockets, and torque meter wrenches excluding tap wrenches in Canada face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying hand-operated spanners, wrenches, interchangeable spanner sockets, and torque meter wrenches excluding tap wrenches to Canada? How important is Canada compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of hand-operated spanners, wrenches, interchangeable spanner sockets, and torque meter wrenches excluding tap wrenches vary from one country of origin to another in Canada? On the supply side, Canada also exports hand-operated spanners, wrenches, interchangeable spanner sockets, and torque meter wrenches excluding tap wrenches. Which countries receive the most exports from Canada? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for hand-operated spanners, wrenches, interchangeable spanner sockets, and torque meter wrenches excluding tap wrenches for those countries serving Canada via exports, or supplying from Canada via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Canada fits into
