The 2013 Import and Export Market for Albuminoidal Substances, Modified Starches, and Glues in Hong Kong

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on albuminoidal substances, modified starches, and glues in Hong Kong face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying albuminoidal substances, modified starches, and glues to Hong Kong? How important is Hong Kong compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market?

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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 albuminoidal substances, modified starches, and glues for those countries serving Hong Kong via exports, or supplying from Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong fits into the world market for imported and exported albuminoidal substances, modified starches, and glues. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Hong Kong 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
