N T I S2010Market Attractiveness IndexHandmade paper (4802.10) is the only product for which trade data allows us to distinguish between handmadepaper and normal paper, though there surely exists a wide variety even within handmade paper. For otherproducts such as envelopes, no such distinction is possible and we are not able to directly identify attractivemarkets. Therefore, it is difficult to identify attractive markets solely based on trade data. That said, the mostattractive markets for handmade paper are Denmark, Canada, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria. Tariffadvantages compared to main competitors exist only in India.RankCountryTable 2.30Attractive Markets for Handmade PaperAttractive markets for Handmade paper (HS 4802.10)Exports Nepal World market(2008) shareTop 10 - Weighted Market Attractiveness IndexGrowth rate(2004-2008)Tariff forNepalTariffadvantageMain competitors1 Denmark 26 6.9% 151.3% 0% 0% Germany, India, Sweden2 Canada 17 5.1% 59.9% 0% 0% USA, China, Japan3 Netherlands 9 6.5% 19.7% 0% 0% Belgium, Germany, France4 Saudi Arabia 0 3.8% 136.8% 5% -5% Egypt, Qatar, China5 Nigeria 0 5.4% 17.9% 5% 0% India, Singapore, Taiwan (China)6 India 12 2.0% 45.9% 0% 10% Indonesia, Sweden, Netherlands7 Qatar 0 1.8% ? 5% -1% Indonesia, UAE, China8 Egypt 0 2.3% 100.7% 10% 0% India, Russia, USA9 Japan 44 10.7% 1.9% 3% -3% China, Taiwan (China), Thailand10 Malta 0 1.0% 153.8% 0% 0% UK, Italy, TunisiaAttractive markets for Handmade paper (HS 4802.10)Top 10 by size, growth, openess and current exportstop10top10 top10 current exports from NepalRank top10 SIZEGROWTH OPENESS(US$ 1,000 in 2008)1 France Denmark India USA 1812 Japan Qatar France 1433 Denmark Saudi Arabia Japan 444 Netherlands Egypt Sweden 355 Nigeria Canada Germany 326 Canada India Denmark 267 Saudi Arabia Malta Canada 178 UAE Netherlands Austria 139 USA Sri Lanka India 1210 Belgium Indonesia Switzerland 1268NEPAL TRADE INTEGRATION STRATEGY 2010BACKGROUND REPORT
