This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives, and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline in Oceania. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. Professor Philip M. Parker, the Chair Professor of Management Science at INSEAD, has developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline for those countries serving Oceania via exports, or supplying from Oceania via imports. He does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

"Antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline" 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 defines "antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline" is 5972.

The countries in Oceania considered in this report include Australia, Fiji, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and Palau.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the market in Oceania face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline to Oceania? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline vary from one country to another in Oceania? Do exporters serving the market in Oceania have similar market shares across the importing countries? On the supply side, Oceania also sells to the international market of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline. Which countries in Oceania supply the most exports of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Oceania fits into the world market for imported and exported antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Oceania in particular, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 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 both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export 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 share that countries in Oceania are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets within Oceania. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports for Oceania, Chapter 3 details the exports of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline, but for each individual country in Oceania. Chapter 4 does the same, but for imports of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline for all countries in Oceania. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and exports of antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline to and from Oceania and all other major countries in the world. Of the 150 countries considered, if a country is not reported here it is therefore estimated to have only a negligible level of trade in antiknock preparations, oxidation inhibitors, anticorrosive preparations, and other prepared additives for mineral oils including gasoline (i.e. their market shares are close or equal to zero percent).
