The 2013 Import and Export Market for Carbon Electrodes, Carbon Brushes, Lamp Carbons, Battery Carbons, and Other Carbon Articles Used for Electric Purposes in Greece

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes in Greece face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes to Greece? How important is Greece compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes vary from one country of origin to another in Greece? On the supply side, Greece also exports carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes. Which countries receive the most exports from Greece? 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 carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes in Greece. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 carbon electrodes, carbon brushes, lamp carbons, battery carbons, and other carbon articles used for electric purposes for those countries serving Greece via exports, or supplying from Greece 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
