The 2013 Import and Export Market for Paints, Varnishes, Enamels, Lacquers, Prepared Water Pigments, Pigments for Paint Manufacture, Stamping Foils, and Dyes or Colors for Retail Sale in Colombia

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale in Colombia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale to Colombia? How important is Colombia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale vary from one country of origin to another in Colombia? On the supply side, Colombia also exports paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale. Which countries receive the most exports from Colombia? 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 paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale in Colombia. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 paints, varnishes, enamels, lacquers, prepared water pigments, pigments for paint manufacture, stamping foils, and dyes or colors for retail sale for those countries serving Colombia via exports, or supplying from Colombia via imports.
