The World Market for Iron or Steel Pins and Needles, and Base Metal Beads, Spangles, and Fittings for Clothing, Handbags, and Travel Goods: A 2027 Global Trade Perspective

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives, and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for pins and needles of iron or steel, base metal beads and spangles, and base metal fittings used for clothing, handbags, and travel goods. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact.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 pins and needles of iron or steel, base metal beads and spangles, and base metal fittings used for clothing, handbags, and travel goods 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.
