The 2013 Import and Export Market for Machinery for Filtering and Purifying Water in Chile

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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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