Information Research (IRL) has added The World Market for Paint 2003 to its growing series of paint publications. This first-edition volume provides an extensive and unique insight into international paint trade and is based on a thorough statistical analysis of international trade statistics in the paint and coatings sector.

Intense paint export activities stem from the manufacturers whose national markets are fairly mature, with the Germany emerging as the chief exporter and the USA second. The top ten exporters account for 75 percent of world paint trade, as seen in Figure 1.

A similar analysis based on paint imports shows a more fragmented picture, with Canada emerging as the most active paint importer, China second, followed by the USA, France and the UK. In sharp contrast to exports, the top 25 countries account for 75 percent of paint imports.

As well as providing a substantial insight into international trade patterns and partnerships, The World Market for Paint 2003 offers a rare opportunity to glimpse the supply of more exotic markets such as those of Africa, making it truly global in terms of coverage. For example:

• •

  Kenyan paint supplies are dominated by the USA,

• •

  The Nigerian market draws heavily on supplies from Europe, with the Netherlands accounting for 42 percent of Nigerian paint imports, and

• •

  Uganda takes more than half of its paint imports from Germany and the UK.

World data is divided into 15 regional markets with historical information by country on volume, value and growth bases for each year over the period of 1999-2003. The same 15 regions also form the basis of the trade analysis with details given for each country. The regional coverage includes:
