WORLD - PLEASURE BOATS & ACCESSORIES - BMR9301
SUMMARY
The Best Markets list for PLEASURE BOATS & ACCESSORIES is derived from a
report entitled "Best Markets: FY1993", dated February 1993, from the U.S. &
Foreign Commercial Service (US&FCS) - Washington, DC. Best Markets data are
taken from figures prepared at US&FCS posts abroad for FY'93 Country
Marketing Plans (CMPs). This report consists of 2 pages.
BEST MARKETS
Fiscal Year 1993
Pleasure Boats & Accessories
The following list, based on data derived by individual US&FCS posts abroad,
identifies the 1993 best country markets for U.S. exporters of Pleasure
Boats & Accessories based on either 1) near-term growth potential, or 2) a
large market receptive to additional U.S. suppliers. Best Markets data are
derived from industry sector rankings found in the "Best Prospects" section
of the Country Marketing Plans (CMPs), compiled annually by US&FCS posts
abroad. The Best Markets listing is presented in descending order of TOTAL
MARKET SIZE (estimated 1992 data).
Please note:
1) All TOTAL MARKET, IMPORT MARKET, and IMPORTS FROM U.S. amounts are
presented in US$ millions.
2) All percentage growth figures are average annual growth rates.
3) The 1 through 5 scale used to indicate RECEPTIVITY TO U.S. GOODS,
COMPETITION, and MARKET BARRIERS should be interpreted as, the higher
the number, the more favorable the situation to U.S. exporters.
Therefore, a score of 5 in all three areas indicates high receptivity
to U.S. goods, little competition, and minimal market barriers to
imports from the U.S.
4) If a column field is left blank for any country, it is because no
information or "n/a" was provided by the US&FCS post for that
particular field. Entries showing no information or "n/a" in the
TOTAL MARKET column are located, in alphabetical order, at the end of
the listing.
5) As US&FCS posts abroad submit a limited number of identified best
prospects, Best Markets data cannot provide an exhaustive list for
each industry sector. Some unreported industry sectors from large
country markets, although not significant enough to be included among
their own best prospects, may be larger than the same reported
industry sectors of smaller country markets.
Data are compiled using local sources and reflect the "best estimates" of
US&FCS commercial officers abroad. Statistical accuracy is affected by a
number of factors including lack of published figures for that market,
varying sector definitions and parameters, and individual posts'
data-gathering techniques.
For more detailed information on specific Best Markets entries, see relevant
Country Marketing Plans (CMPs) and Industry Sector Analyses (ISAs). These
reports are published by US&FCS and are available in the Market Research
Reports file on the National Trade Data Bank (NTDB).
