Mapping the World's Trade Connections
Delta Economics was asked by HSBC to conduct a piece of work looking at trading patterns across 28 countries.
Mapping the World’s Trade Connections provides a unique resource for European businesses looking to trade internationally. It brings together, for the first time econometric analysis of quantitative trade data from leading sources around the world; international trends mapping which examine the major international sources of trade, economic performance and international business strategies available; insights from a global panel of 50 trade experts; interviews with 50 business case studies and viewpoints from HSBC’s international trade heads. Analysed and combined, this report delivers a meaningful picture of world trade patterns and identifies practical opportunities for businesses.
The report is intended to help businesses and business advisers make the right decisions about which markets to go into. No one business is the same and there is no one route to internationalisation that will suit everyone. But we demonstrate where the key changes are taking place, where markets and sectors are emerging across the world for European businesses, where interesting developments will be over the next five to 10 years and how businesses can gear up to take advantage of the immense and exciting opportunities that international operations represent. We map international trade patterns, the emerging regions and sectors and their trade competitiveness over the past 10 years and, from this, predict future trends.
The research was so successful that HSBC has asked Delta Economics to conduct an expanded version of this research with additional online capacity. This is due for launching in phases, starting in October 2011.
