Sales by region

As with the review of agrochemical usage on crops, it is the developed world that consumes the majority of the pesticides produced. As these countries are the richest nations it is unlikely that this will change within the foreseeable future. This again means that agrochemical companies will target established markets in wealthy countries, but with an eye on the situation in large potential markets such as China (population 1200 million) and India (population 900 million).

In the United States, two ammonia pipelines deliver ammonia to the Mississippi delta and to the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle region. Direct sales by basic producers are generally at wholesale prices. Basic producers also sell to distributors and jobbers for resale to end users buying smaller quantities. Distributors of ammonia to industrial end users have their own storage facilities, packaging plants and distribution networks. They are able to supply end users that buy in less-than-truckload quantities (a minimum of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds or 450 to 910 kilograms) or in cylinders or bottles57. 

Patents and the patenting system represent the orderly system of public documents used in most parts of the world to handle much of this kind of information. Patent protection is of substantial importance to chemical as well as other companies. Patents must be applied for in each country or region (e.g., the European Union) for which protection is desired. Otherwise, the subject of a patent may be practiced and the product sold without license in any country in which this precaution has not been taken. Composition of matter patents, which relate primarily to newly discovered chemical compounds, are issued on successful application by an inventor (individual or company). Utility (i.e., some type of useful function of the compound) must be demonstrated before a patent application of this type can be filed. In return this class of patent provides the best kind of protection for a new compound because the compound itself is protected from its sale by others for the 17- to 20-year life of a patent, regardless of the synthetic route developed to produce it. 

Once the sales force can report the consumption of a product by account, performance may be monitored on the basis of knowing the extent of the market. The reported consumption of all accounts, as obtained from the field, is totaled by end use and is compared with industry statistics. It may be found that the sales force does not know where an important proportion of the product is being consumed. This indicates that the sales force is not familiar with the total market. The analysis can even be carried down to the territory and individual level. If the uses of the product have been categorized by Standard Industry Classification, it may be possible to break down industry statistics on the basis of the number of productive employees by regions or states as reported in the Census of Manufacturers. From this may be determined the level of market penetration in a particular territory.

In 2012, the global sportswear market exceeded 244 billion according to a report published by research organization Euromonitor International (El) (http //www. euromonitor.com/sportswear). The report, which covered 46 countries from key regions around the world, estimated that sales for performance, outdoor and sports-inspired clothing and footwear sportswear grew by more than 7.5% in 2012 with projected additional 55 billion in new sales by 2017. Broadly, this would value the sportswear market at around 20% of total worldwide apparel sales.

For 2013, sales of each product by region and the production and capacity at each plant are shown in Table 6-18. The plant capacity, measured in millions of kilograms of production, can be assigned to either chemical, as long as the plant is capable of producing both. BioPharma has forecast that its sales for the two chemicals are likely to be stable for all parts of the world, except for Asia without Japan, where sales are expected to grow by 10 percent annually for each of the next five years before stabilizing. 

Tables 9—16 show PGM consumption by the Western world and Japan. The figures are broken down by industrial appHcation and, for platinum and palladium, by the region in which they are used. In each case, net demand is shown, ie, total purchases of the metals by customers, minus any sales back to the market.
