Introduction

Abstract

The report is devoted to investigation of current standing of market of tungsten in CIS countries and forecast of the market development. The report consists of 7 Sections, contains 132 pages, including 31 Figures, 54 Tables and Appendix. This work is desk study. As information sources, we used data of Rosstat, Inter-state Committee on Statistics of CIS countries, 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 and consumers of tungsten.
