Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/749c8d/the_2009_import_an)
has announced the addition of the "The
2009 Import and Export Market for Cigars, Cheroots, Cigarillos, and
Cigarettes Made with Tobacco Substitutes in Thailand" report to
their offering.
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on cigars,
cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco substitutes in
Thailand face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying
cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes to Thailand? How important is Thailand compared to others in
terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports
of cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes vary from one country of origin to another in Thailand? On
the supply side, Thailand also exports cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and
cigarettes made with tobacco substitutes. Which countries receive the
most exports from Thailand? 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 cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes in Thailand. 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contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after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 cigars, cheroots, cigarillos,
and cigarettes made with tobacco substitutes for those countries serving
Thailand via exports, or supplying from Thailand 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 where Thailand fits
into the world market for imported and exported cigars, cheroots,
cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco substitutes. The total
level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for
Thailand in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates
across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current
year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market.
This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin.
Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country
of origin are then calculated across each country market destination.
These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each
country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we
are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of
each market and the share that Thailand is likely to receive this year.
From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to
prioritize Thailand compared to other major country markets. In this
way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be
combined with internal information sources for strategic planning
purposes.
After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of
cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major
country of origin serving Thailand. A "major" market is defined as a
country where Thailand represents a substantially large share of either
imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Thailand, one
can thus observe how important Thailand is to that exporting country
compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but
for exports of cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with
tobacco substitutes originating from Thailand, for each major country of
destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Thailand has
in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of
competitiveness for Thailand. In all cases, the total dollar volume and
percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined,
Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of
cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes to and from Thailand to and from all other major countries
in the world. "Cigars, Cheroots, Cigarillos, and Cigarettes Made with
Tobacco Substitutes" 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 defined
"cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, and cigarettes made with tobacco
substitutes" is 12231 .
