The 2011 Import and Export Market for Plastics in Solution and Nonaqueous Paints, Varnishes, Enamels, and Lacquers Based on Synthetic or Chemically Modified Natural Polymers in Norway

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 Norway 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 Norway? How important is Norway 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 Norway? On the supply side, Norway 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 Norway? 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 Norway. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 Norway via exports, or supplying from Norway via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators
