This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread in Macau. 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 Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact.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 wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread for those countries serving Macau via exports, or supplying from Macau 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 Macau fits into the world market for imported and exported wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Macau 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 Macau is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Macau 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 wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Macau. A “major” market is defined as a country where Macau represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Macau, one can thus observe how important Macau is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread originating from Macau, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Macau has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Macau. 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 wholesale synthetic yarn containing less than 85% synthetic staple fibers by weight excluding sewing thread to and from Macau to and from all other major countries in the world.
