The 2013 Import and Export Market for Power Capacitors and Fixed Capacitors for 50/60 Hz Circuits with a Reactive Power-Handling Capacity of At Least 0.5 kvar in Belgium

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar in Belgium face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar to Belgium? How important is Belgium compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar vary from one country of origin to another in Belgium? On the supply side, Belgium also exports power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar. Which countries receive the most exports from Belgium? 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 power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar in Belgium. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 power capacitors and fixed capacitors for 50/60 hz circuits with a reactive power-handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar for those countries serving Belgium via exports, or supplying from Belgium 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
