Abstract

AbstractPerforming market share analysis allows analysts to identify the key players in global trade for strategic goods. Through the use of HS codes corresponding to strategic goods, we can identify the primary exporters and importers of these commodities. This chapter identifies two approaches for market share analysis depending on the data available to the analyst. The first is a generalized approach that relies on openly available data from UN Comtrade. The second relies on data that is usually restricted to state authorities that further refines the general approach by applying an HS to export control classification number correlation percentage to the calculations. The latter technique identifies how often an HS code is used for strategic trade in one country’s exports and applies that as an estimate to global trade flows.
