The World Market for Metal-Rolling Mills: A 2016 Global Trade Perspective

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for metal-rolling mills. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for metal-rolling mills for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying metal-rolling mills? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of metal-rolling mills vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of metal-rolling mills? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?
