The World Market for Umbrella, Walking-Stick, Seat-Stick, Whip, and Riding-Crop Parts, Trimmings, and Accessories: A 2022 Global Trade Perspective

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives, and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for parts, trimmings, and accessories of umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, and riding-crops. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. Professor Philip M. Parker, the Chair Professor of Management Science at INSEAD, has developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for parts, trimmings, and accessories of umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, and riding-crops for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. He does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. "Parts, trimmings, and accessories of umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, and riding-crops" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defines "parts, trimmings, and accessories of umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, and riding-crops" is 89949.
