The 2016 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 Japan

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 Japan 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 Japan? How important is Japan 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 Japan? On the supply side, Japan 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 Japan? 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 Japan. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 Japan via exports, or supplying from Japan 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
