From where should a multinational consider importing direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy? After the 2020-2021 COVID pandemic, logistics and supply chain officers became acutely aware that having dependence on one geography can put an entire company's production process at risk. This report uses supervised machine learning approaches to present a picture of where supplies are likely to come from across countries, by value, thus providing executives the ability to weigh the portfolio of strategic options in terms of sourcing direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy. It focusses, therefore, on exporting countries.

"Direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy" is 75131.

In what follows, this report begins by summarizing the world exporter's market for direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy. The total level of exports on a worldwide basis is based on a model that aggregates across 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 supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market. These shares lead to a volume of import 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 shares that competitors (countries serving that market) are likely to receive this year. From these figures, world rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning purposes. Of the countries considered, if a country is not reported here, it is therefore estimated to have only a negligible level of trade in direct-process electrostatic photocopying equipment operated by reproducing the original image directly onto the copy (i.e. their market shares are close or equal to zero percent).
