The 2007 Import and Export Market for Carboxylic Acids with Aldehyde- or Ketone-Oxygen Function, Their Anhydrides, Halides, Peroxides, Peroxyacids, and Their Derivatives in India

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives in India face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives to India? How important is India compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives vary from one country of origin to another in India? On the supply side, India also exports carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives. Which countries receive the most exports from India? 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 carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives in India. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives for those countries serving India via exports, or supplying from India 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 India fits into the world market for imported and exported carboxylic acids with aldehyde- or ketone-oxygen function, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, peroxyacids, and their derivatives. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for India in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that India is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize India compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
