The 2013 Import and Export Market for Artists' Colors, Paint Driers and Mastics, and Coloring Preparations Used in the Ceramic, Enameling, and Glass Industries in Colombia

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries in Colombia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries to Colombia? How important is Colombia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries vary from one country of origin to another in Colombia? On the supply side, Colombia also exports artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries. 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 artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 artists' colors, paint driers and mastics, and coloring preparations used in the ceramic, enameling, and glass industries for those countries serving Colombia via exports, or supplying from Colombia via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
