The 2013 Import and Export Market for Pickling Preparations for Metal Surfaces, Fluxes and Other Products for Soldering, and Core or Coating Products for Welding Electrodes or Rods in Africa

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in Africa face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods to Africa? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods vary from one country to another in Africa? Do exporters serving the market in Africa have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, Africa also sells to the international market of pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods. Which countries in Africa supply the most exports of pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods? Which countries are buying their exports? 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 pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods in Africa. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact.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 pickling preparations for metal surfaces, fluxes and other products for soldering, and core or coating products for welding electrodes or rods for those countries serving Africa via exports or
