Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9bc5db/medicinal_and_bota) has
announced the addition of Supplier Relations US, LLC's new report "Medicinal and
Botanical Manufacturing Industry in the U.S. and its International Trade" to
their offering.

The newly released March edition of Medicinal and Botanical Manufacturing
Industry report is the comprehensive market research guide for the industry. It
has the latest information on the industry's key financial data, competitive
landscape, cost and pricing, and trends during the current economic climate.

In 2009, the value of imported products within this industry into the U.S. has
been relatively high, at approximately 250% of U.S. production. Because of this
reliance on imports, the report covers the foreign trade statistics including
the top 25 countries the U.S. imports from and their respective import values.
This industry exhibits a high amount of trade activity, because in 2009, the
value of exported products within this industry into the U.S. has also been
relatively high, at approximately 70% of U.S. production. This reliance on
exports is also covered in the report's foreign trade statistics. This industry
has a high concentration of players, with the market consisting of fewer
companies with relative similarity in size. This aspect exposes the industry to
further possibility of merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as
anti-trust scrutiny. The competitive landscape section provides a closer
examination of this situation.

At 175 pages with over 150 charts and tables, the report's extensive coverage
includes topics such as macroeconomic conditions, granular data on products,
global trade, channel mix, government demand, and labor structure. It relies on
over a decade of historical data and enhanced forecasting to project industry
trends through 2014 about the domestic market, global market and overseas growth
opportunities. This current report contains shipment data, inventory levels, and
international trade volume for the entire 2009. Industry analysts and Fortune
500 customers use this valuable quarterly report to make accurate forecasts and
planning in the fluctuating economic environment.
