The 2013 Import and Export Market for Original, Hand-Drawn Plans and Drawings for Architectural, Engineering, Industrial, Commercial, Topographical, or Similar Purposes in the United Kingdom

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes in the United Kingdom face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes to the United Kingdom? How important is the United Kingdom compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes vary from one country of origin to another in the United Kingdom? On the supply side, the United Kingdom also exports original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes. Which countries receive the most exports from the United Kingdom? 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 original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes in the United Kingdom. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 original, hand-drawn plans and drawings for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical, or similar purposes for those countries serving the United Kingdom via exports, or supplying from the United Kingdom via imports.
