The 2013 Import and Export Market for Perfumed Bath Salts and Other Bath Preparations in Singapore

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations in Singapore face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations to Singapore? How important is Singapore compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations vary from one country of origin to another in Singapore? On the supply side, Singapore also exports perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations. Which countries receive the most exports from Singapore? 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 perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations in Singapore. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations for those countries serving Singapore via exports, or supplying from Singapore 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 Singapore fits into the world market for imported and exported perfumed bath salts and other bath preparations. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Singapore 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 represents a percent of the world market.
