Thermal insulating materials, based on basalt fiber, market research in Russia

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.
