Also involved were data from the industry and regional press, annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers, Internet sites of enterprises-producers and consumers of rare gases; the InfoMine database was used; materials of specialized conferences.

The main chronological framework of the study: 2008-2020.

Geography of research: Russia, Ukraine.

Research volume: the report consists of 8 parts , contains 61 pages , including 38 tables , 15 figures , 1 appendix .

The first chapter (introduction) gives a brief description of the industrial gases market, in particular, xenon.

In the second chapter , the requirements for the quality of the krypton-xenon mixture (KKS) and xenon (GOSTs, TU) are considered, their main technical characteristics are given.

The third chapter is devoted to an overview of the equipment used for the release of rare gases, the technical characteristics of the units used are given.

The fourth chapter is devoted to the production of krypton-xenon mixture and xenon. The structure of production in Russia and Ukraine is presented. The main manufacturing companies in Russia and Ukraine, their nomenclature of production, estimated production volumes, financial indicators are also considered.

The fifth chapter of the review provides data on the export-import of krypton-xenon mixture and xenon in Russia (2008-2020) and Ukraine (2015-2019). The dynamics of supply volumes, geographical structure, structure of export-import by types of products and suppliers / consumers are presented.

The sixth chapter is devoted to an overview of export-import and domestic prices for krypton-xenon mixture and xenon.

The seventh chapter provides a characteristic and estimated volumes of xenon use in Russia, shows the main areas of use, presents the main consumers.

The eighth chapter provides an analysis of the state and prospects of the xenon market in Russia and Ukraine.

The appendix contains the addresses and contact information of the main participants in the xenon market in Russia and Ukraine.

Target audience of the study:

• industrial gases market participants - producers, consumers, traders;

• potential investors.

The proposed study claims to be a reference manual for marketing services and specialists making management decisions working in the Russian industrial gases market.
