The 2013 Import and Export Market for Numerically Controlled Machines for Bending, Folding, Straightening, or Flattening Metal in Israel

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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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