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.

The report is devoted to investigation of current standing market of schungite in CIS and forecast of its development. The report is composed of 6 Sections, contains 91 Pages, including 27 Figures, 30 Tables and 7 Appendices. The report is a desk study. As information sources, data of Federal Service of State Statistics (Rosstat), Federal Customs Service of Russia (FCS), Inter-State Statistic Committee of CIS Countries, official domestic railage statistics of Ministry of Railways of Russia, data of companies, the sector and regional press, annual and quarterly repots of companies, internet-sites of company-producers and consumers of schungite were used.

The first Section of the report gives an estimate of mineral-resources base of schungite in Russia/CIS, presents brief data on deposits of schungite, their characteristics and reserves of the resources.

The second Section of the report presents technological classification of schungites, enterprises of the CIS, producing schungite products, and statistic data on the production in 2002-2009.

The third Section of the report is devoted to description of CIS enterprises, producing schungite products, presents nomenclature of the commodity products, prices, fields of application and the main consumers.

The fourth Section presents information on export-import supplies of schungite products in Russia in 2002-2009, volumes of the supplies, average annual contract prices on various kinds of schungite.

The fifth Section of the report describes consumption of schungite in Russia. The Section presents supply-demand balance of schungite (2002-2009), sectoral pattern of its consumption, shows main Russian consumers (including their volumes of the consumption in 2002-2009), and describes current standing and prospects of development of the greatest enterprise-consumers.

The sixth, final Section of the report appraises possible consumption of schungite in Russia as a whole and by individual end-uses.

The Appendices contain expert opinions on schungite products and contact information on producers and consumers of schungite in the CIS.
