Review of standing of titanium products producers in the CIS, forecast of production and consumption

SUMMARY

As the world's industrial and consumer economies fluctuate, producers, investors and buyers of mineral resources, metals, chemicals and petrochemical products demand more concise information to ensure profitability, practice effective business planning, and to maintain an economically healthy supply/demand relationship.

The entire spectrum of interconnected variables - price analysis and forecasting, production capacities and costs, trade patterns, socio-political factors, governmental regulation, emerging technologies, material/feedstock supply - all play into cyclical scenario of the world's mineral resources, metals, chemicals and petrochemical products sectors.

We track all trends in production, mining and processing, export-import activities, financial standing, rehabilitation projects, new regulations relevant to production companies and changes in structure and ownership of the companies producing aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt and other base and minor metals, enterprises of ferrous metallurgy, producers of industrial minerals, chemicals, and products of petroleum and petroleum processing in all of the CIS countries. The information available in InfoMine's wide range of commercial studies and client services includes

• Raw materials supply-demand and availability;
• Geographical market analysis;
• Economic and price forecasting;
• Process technologies and process economics;
• Production/process facility information;
• Production capacity data;
• Structure and ownership pattern of enterprises;
• Producer information, including organization, addresses, ownership and key personnel;
