Abstract
The report is devoted to analysis of Russian of market of thermal insulating
items, based on basalt fiber. The report consists of 6 Sections, contains 150
pages, including 20 Figures, 43 Tables and 2 Appendices. This work is desk
study. As information sources, we used data of Rosstat, Federal Customs
Service of Russia, official domestic railage statistic of JSC RZhD (former
Ministry of Railway Transport of Russia), sectoral (industrial) and regional
press, annual and quarterly reports of companies, as well as data from
web-sites of company-producers. Then, to verify and correct the analysed and
summarized data, we conducted telephone interview with specialists of a number
company-producers and consumers of the products interest.
The presented information can be useful in activity of production and trade
companies, as well as enterprises of building sector (both for producers and
consumers of thermal insulating materials).
The first Section of the report presents brief characteristics of production
technologies and performance specifications initial basalt fiber, as well as
comparative characteristics of various fiber materials.
The second - core - Section of the report (“production”) presents
comprehensive analysis of production of items, based on basalt fiber in
Russia. Notice that data of Rosstat (Federal Statistics Agency of Russia) are
not complete and, in addition, are not consistent with data of Federal Customs
Service of Russia that forced InfoMine to collect all available direct and
indirect data concerning basalt fiber-based items production in the country.
Finally, expert evaluation of standing of production of thermal insulating
materials, based on basalt fiber in Russia was elaborated on the basis of
comprehensive analysis of all obtained data, and error of the estimated
figures is below 15-20%. Notice that we made the greatest stress on analysis
of range and performance specifications of the products in the course of the
analysis to provide maximal benefit of potential consumers of the study.
The third Section presents analysis of foreign trade in thermal insulating
materials, based on basalt fiber in Russia.
The fourth (final) Section of the report presents estimation of the product
market capacity and forecast of the market development for the nearest 5
years. Taking into account paucity of the official statistical data, we
presented, for comparison, estimations of the market behavior, elaborated by a
number of authoritative organiations, including International Academy of
Energo-Information Sciences and Economic Problems, companies URSA, Rockwool,
LLC «Saint-Gobain Isover», Federal Agency on Construction and
communal Utilities of Russia (Rosstroi).
The estimation of LLC «InfoMine» differs slightly from the other
forecasts; nevertheless, qualitative (overall) forecasts of all experts are
consistent on the whole. The difference concerns quantitative parameters of
the production growth. The data, presented by InfoMine, are based on
calculations, taking into account operating and scheduled for launching
productive capacities.
