The 2013 Import and Export Market for Supported Catalysts with Nickel or Nickel Compounds As Active Substances in Germany

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as active substances in Germany face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as active substances to Germany?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as active substances in Germany. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as active substances for those countries serving Germany via exports, or supplying from Germany 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 Germany fits into the world market for imported and exported supported catalysts with nickel or nickel compounds as active substances. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Germany in particular, is estimated using a model which
