    Geography of the study: in detail - Russia and Kazakhstan, the world (trade flows and price environment).

     

    Volume of the study: the report consists of 7 parts, contains 88 pages, including 30 tables, 17 figures and 3 appendices.

    The first chapter of the report provides data on the raw materials required for the production of pitch. This chapter also discusses the methods and features of obtaining pitch, its grades and characteristics.

    The second chapter is devoted to an overview of the main trade flows of coal tar pitch in the world, the main exporting and importing countries of the products in question are presented, as well as the price environment in 2013-2024.

    The third chapter of the report is devoted to the production of pitch in the EAEU countries (Russia, Kazakhstan). This section of the report presents data on the production volumes of these products in 1994-2024 at EAEU enterprises. In addition, part of the chapter is devoted to describing the current status of the main pitch producers in the EAEU, where, in particular, data on their deliveries are provided.

    The fourth chapter of the report presents data on foreign trade operations with pitch in Russia (1994-2024) and in Kazakhstan (1995-2020).

    The sixth chapter of the report examines pitch consumption in Russia/EAEU. This section presents the balance of production and consumption of pitch (1994-2024), the industry structure of consumption, the main Russian consumers (with consumption volumes in 2003-2024), and describes the current state of the largest consumer enterprises (aluminum and electrode plants).

    The seventh and final chapter of the report presents a forecast for pitch production in Russia, as well as a forecast for pitch consumption for the period up to 2030.

    The appendices provide contact information for pitch producers and consumers in the EAEU, as well as tender information.

     

    The target audience of the study:

    - participants in the coke, aluminum and electrode product market - manufacturers, consumers, traders;

    - potential investors.

    The proposed study claims to be a reference guide for marketing departments and specialists making management decisions in the coke, aluminum and electrode product market.
