The 2009 Import and Export Market for Machinery for Agglomerating, Shaping, or Molding Solid Mineral Fuels and Ceramic Pastes in Powder or Paste Form and for Forming Sand Foundry Molds in Canada

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds in Canada face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds to Canada? How important is Canada compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds vary from one country of origin to another in Canada? On the supply side, Canada also exports machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds. 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?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds in Canada. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 machinery for agglomerating, shaping, or molding solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes in powder or paste form and for forming sand foundry molds for those countries serving Canada via exports, or supplying from Canada via imports. It does so
