This report is currently available in Russian language only. However, we can provide an English version of the report within 3 weeks after receiving a payment.

This report focuses on research of current market conditions of calcium carbide in the CIS and forecast of its development.

The report consists of six chapters, contains 85 pages including 17 figures and 36 tables.

In the first chapter, the report presents information about the technology and equipment for the production of calcium carbide and on the raw materials used. Also this chapter presents data on major sources of raw materials and their supply flows.

The second chapter is devoted to the production of calcium carbide in the CIS. This section describes the existing regulatory requirements on quality of calcium carbide, presents statistical data on volumes of the product output in the CIS in 2000-2010, described the current position of the largest producers.

The third chapter of the report presents data on foreign trade in calcium carbide in Russia and CIS countries for the period of 2000-2010.

The fourth chapter presents data on calcium carbide prices at the domestic Russian market in 2002-2011, and analyzes data on changes in export and import prices on the products in Russia and Ukraine in 2002-2010.

The fifth chapter of the report describes consumption of calcium carbide in Russia. This section provides supply-demand balance of the product, sectoral structure of consumption, describes the current position of key industries and major enterprise-consumers of calcium carbide.

The sixth chapter of the report presents forecast of calcium carbide market development in the CIS up to 2020.

The Appendix presents addresses and contact information of key enterprises, producing calcium carbide in the CIS.

This is a desk study, which analyzed numerous sources of information, particularly data of state bodies - the Federal Service of State Statistics (FSSS) of Russia, the State Committee on Statistics of CIS, the Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia and Ukraine, official statistics of rail transport of Russia, sectoral and regional press, annual and quarterly reports of companies, as well as web-sites of company-producers and consumers of calcium carbide, and the database of InfoMine.

All this allowed the authors to draw a picture of the market of calcium carbide in the CIS and its future prospects.
