The 2011 Import and Export Market for Television Picture Tubes and Cathode-Ray Tubes in the United Kingdom

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes in the United Kingdom face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes to the United Kingdom? How important is the United Kingdom compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes vary from one country of origin to another in the United Kingdom? On the supply side, the United Kingdom also exports television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes. Which countries receive the most exports from the United Kingdom? 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 television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes in the United Kingdom. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes for those countries serving the United Kingdom via exports, or supplying from the United Kingdom 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 the United Kingdom fits into the world market for imported and exported television picture tubes and cathode-ray tubes. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for the United Kingdom in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects
