On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard in Malaysia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard to Malaysia? How important is Malaysia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard vary from one country of origin to another in Malaysia? On the supply side, Malaysia also exports machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard. Which countries receive the most exports from Malaysia? 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 machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard in Malaysia.

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for machinery for making pulp of fibrous cellulosic material or for making or finishing paper or paperboard for those countries serving Malaysia via exports, or supplying from Malaysia 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 Malaysia fits into the world market for imported and exported machinery
