Jadelyn Kopp Assignment 2 Research a Country (Chapter 8)
Your assignment is to research South Africa’s automotive industry market
using secondary data from the US Department of Commerce. Go to https://www.trade.gov/export-solutions
, click on “research foreign markets”, click on “access a country report”. Then find the country and industry, and answer the following questions:
1.
What is the total market size in US dollars projected for 2021?
The total market size in US dollars projected in 2021 was $34.38.
2.
How much is imported from the US into South Africa?
In 2021 the total imports from the US into South America were .973. It is projected for 2024 that
the imports will increase to 1.415. 3.
What is the top country for imports of cars and components into South Africa?
India is the top country for imports of cars and components into South America followed behind Germany, Japan, China, and the US. 4.
What are the opportunities in South Africa’s automotive industry, as described by the country report?
The automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the economy and a key player in South America's industrialization landscap. Four key market opportunities stand out in the EV industry that are seen as worthy investments. These include making electric public transport, using electric scooters and bikes for quick deliveries in cities, producing electric cars locally, and
making lithium-ion cells locally. In 2022, the sales of battery electric vehicles in South Africa exceeded 500 units for the first time, reaching a total of 502 units. While this is a notable increase, it's important to note that NEV sales only accounted for 0.88% of the overall new vehicle market in the same year. This means that investing in opportunities related to electric vehicles can be successful and beneficial.

Imagine the following case study where two different countries: Albania and Belize have remained self-sufficient and mostly produce
two of the following products: corn and beets. Our hopes are that we will be able to improve trade liberalization and encourage each
one to work together in order to improve the number of resources and goods each one provides to their population. Here are their
production levels for each product per worker/month (assume each country has a workforce for 15 workers):

Domestic producers of microprocessors send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of microprocessors. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. microprocessor industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on microprocessors, the domestic microprocessor industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to support their argument in favor of the trade restriction on microprocessors?
National-security argument
Infant-industry argument
Unfair-competition argument
Jobs argument
Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument

Cause Australia to commence importing steel.
Decrease the quantity of steel consumed by Australian consumers, and increase exports by Australian producers.
Decrease the price paid by Australian consumers for steel.
Increase the quantity of steel consumed by Australian consumers, and decrease exports of steel.
