Glass fibre and glass fibre products market research in the CIS

SUMMARY

The report is devoted to analysis of glass fibre and glass fibre products market in the CIS for promotional support of the customer.

Modern level of technological development owes demand for new materials with special properties. Among such new synthetic materials is glass fibre. Glass fibre materials has a number of valuable properties: inflammability, resistance to corrosion and biological action, rather high strength and relatively low density, in combination with excellent optic and electro-, heat- and sound-insulating properties. The materials find growing application in various branches industry.

The investigation includes the following main sections: technology of production; kinds of products and requirements, imposed on glass fibre and glass fibre products; production of glass fibre by CIS enterprises and their current standing; analysis of foreign trade operations; determination of consumers of glass fibre in various industrial end-uses.

Methodologically, the investigation is desk study. We considered and analyzed all available information sources, first of all, data official state bodies: Rosstat (Federal Service of State Statistics of Russia), Federal Customs Service of Russia, Inter-State Committee on Statistics of CIS countries, Customs Committee of Ukraine, Customs Service of Belarus, official Russian domestic railage statistic of JSC RZhD (former Ministry of Railway Transport of Russia), sectoral (industrial) and regional press, reports of companies, data from web-sites of company-producers, as well as information from InfoMine database and scientific-research literature.
