The 2009 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Radiators and Their Parts in Ireland

The 2009 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Radiators and Their Parts in Ireland Review



On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel radiators and their parts in Ireland face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying iron or steel radiators and their parts to Ireland? How important is Ireland compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel radiators and their parts vary from one country of origin to another in Ireland? On the supply side, Ireland also exports iron or steel radiators and their parts. Which countries receive the most exports from Ireland? 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 iron or steel radiators and their parts in Ireland. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 iron or steel radiators and their parts for those countries serving Ireland via exports, or supplying from Ireland 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 Ireland fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel radiators and their parts. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Ireland 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 Ireland is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Ireland 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.

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Central Heating Boilers Excluding Steam Power-Generating Boilers in the Middle East

The 2011 Import and Export Market for Central Heating Boilers Excluding Steam Power-Generating Boilers in the Middle East Review



On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in the Middle East face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers to the Middle East? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers vary from one country to another in the Middle East? Do exporters serving the market in the Middle East have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, the Middle East also sells to the international market of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers. Which countries in the Middle East supply the most exports of central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers? Which countries are buying their exports? 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 central heating boilers excluding steam power-generating boilers in the Middle East.

Solar Heating Systems for Houses: A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems

Solar Heating Systems for Houses: A Design Handbook for Solar Combisystems Review



The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However, the development of similar, but more complex, systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend, combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries, favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need.
