This report is the 14th edition of the study of the tungsten market in Russia, the CIS and the world.
Market monitoring has been conducted since 1999.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the market for tungsten concentrates, tungsten anhydride, ammonium paratungstate, metallic tungsten and ferrotungsten. The situation in the world market of tungsten and its raw materials is briefly analyzed.
The objects of study are tungsten ores, tungsten concentrates (scheelite and wolframite), paratungstate, tungsten anhydride, ferrotungsten and metallic tungsten.
This work is a desk study. As sources of information, data from Rosstat, the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, the statistics of railway transportation of the Russian Federation, the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Statistics, the State Customs Service of Ukraine were used; materials of the US Geological Survey (USGS), data from the UNdata database, industry and regional press, annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers, as well as websites of manufacturers of tungsten raw materials, ferrotungsten and metallic tungsten.
This review is the most complete among those presented on the information market on this topic, and claims to be a reference tool. The use of data without additional thorough analysis can lead to the adoption of erroneous management decisions by marketing services and specialists working in the market of tungsten raw materials.
Chronological scope of the study: 1999-2021; forecast - 2022-2031
Research geography: Russian Federation - detailed comprehensive market analysis; Republic of Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan - general retrospective analysis of the market; the rest of the world - general information about the dynamics and characteristics of the market.
The report consists of 9 parts, contains 212 pages, including 53 figures, 69 tables and 1 appendix.
The first chapter of the report provides a brief description of the world market of tungsten concentrate and tungsten metal (reserves, mining, production, export-import of concentrate and tungsten metal by countries, prices).
The second chapter of the report provides information on the mineral resource base of tungsten in the CIS countries (in more detail in Russia), shows the structure of reserves and characteristics of the main deposits.
The third chapter considers the dynamics of the production of W concentrate in Russia in 1998-2021, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan. The current state of Russian and foreign GOKs producing tungsten concentrates is described. In addition, this chapter contains information about the export-import of W concentrate in the Russian Federation. Separately, the balance of production-consumption of concentrates in the Russian Federation in 1999-2021 is considered.
The fourth chapter is devoted to the market of ammonium paratungstate (PVA) and tungsten anhydride. Data on the production of this raw material in Russia and Uzbekistan are given. The Russian foreign trade operations with tungstates in 1999-2021, as well as the production-consumption balance in this period, are considered in detail.
The fifth chapter of the report describes the current state of industries that consume tungsten raw materials:
– production of ferrotungsten (main Russian producers, detailed analysis of Russian FeW export-import);
– production, export-import of metallic tungsten in the CIS (description of the main Russian producers, analysis of Russian foreign trade operations with various tungsten products).
The sixth chapter is devoted to Russian export-import prices for tungsten concentrate and anhydride.
The seventh chapter deals with projects and investments in the tungsten industry in Russia and the CIS countries.
The eighth chapter is a forecast for the production and consumption of tungsten raw materials (concentrate and anhydride) in Russia until 2031.
In the ninth chapter, a forecast is given for the development of the main consuming industries: machine-tool and aerospace.
The appendix contains contact information of the main enterprises producing and consuming tungsten raw materials.
Target audience of the study:
- market participants of tungsten concentrate and chains of its further consumption - producers, consumers, traders;
- potential investors.
The proposed study claims to be a reference tool for marketing services and management decision makers working in the market of tungsten raw materials.
