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 the investigation of the current position of the market of titanium raw materials in Russia and the CIS and forecast of its development. The report consists of five chapters, contains 155 pages including 37 tables, 39 figures and 4 Appendices.

In the first chapter of the report data on the mineral resource base of titanium abroad and production of concentrates are presented, reserves and deposits are described, the world's largest producers are presented. In addition, the chapter provides technical specifications (chemical composition) for ilmenite and rutile concentrates of the world's major manufacturers. The chapter also describes the main areas of consumption of titanium concentrates, changes in the production of titanium dioxide and titanium sponge in the world. A separate section of the first chapter is devoted to reviewing the prices of various kinds of titanium concentrates (ilmenite, rutile, of pigment and welding classes).

The second chapter is devoted to analysis of the mineral resources and production of titanium concentrates in Russia and CIS. A comparison of domestic deposits to foreign analogues is provided. In a separate section of the chapter the production of titanium concentrates at all the mines in Russia and the largest GOKs of Ukraine is analysed. The section presents data on the production volumes, the dynamics of production of these pro-ducts for enterprises of Ukraine and Russia, review of the current position of the producers of titanium concentrates in the CIS. Also data on volumes of production, plans for the development of the enterprises are presented, as well as data on volumes and destinations of supplies of the products in recent years.

The third chapter describes foreign trade operations in titanium concentrates in Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine and presents analysis of volumes and directions of export-import supplies. The final section of the chapter discusses the dynamics of prices for titanium concentrates on the Russian domestic market.

The fourth chapter describes the market of consumption of titanium concentrates in Russia. The chapter analyzes in detail the structure of the products consumption, the supply-demand balance. A review of the major industries that consume titanium concentrates is given.

In the fifth chapter of the report forecast of production and consumption of titanium concentrates for the period up to 2018 is presented.

The Appendix includes addresses and contact information of the main producers of titanium dioxide in the CIS and Russian consumers of titanium dioxide.

This work is a desk research, in preparation of which multiple sources of information were analyzed, particularly data of state bodies: the Federal Service of State Statistics of RF, State Statistics Committee of Ukraine (production data), JSC RZD (RF railage statistics), Federal Customs Service of Russia and Ukraine’s SCC (data on foreign trade operations). Besides, data of companies and the database of InfoMine were used.

All this has enabled the authors to identify a picture of the market of titanium resources in CIS / Russia and its prospects.
