The 2013 Import and Export Market for Copper, Copper Anodes for Electrolytic Refining, and Unwrought Copper Alloys in Pakistan

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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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