DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fcb60b/analyzing_the_glob) has announced the addition of the "Analyzing the Global Titanium Industry" report to their offering.
The importance of titanium has been growing steadily in the last couple of years. The sheer strength of titanium alloys is unmatchable and titanium is used widely in the aerospace industry. However, due to the high cost of titanium refining and processing, the metal is quite expensive, up to almost five times more costly than aluminum. Titanium prices have been soaring in recent years and prices are likely to remain high, driven mainly by demand side events, particularly aircraft demand cycles.
The report begins with an analysis of the basics of titanium. It analyzes the various characteristics of titanium, the various titanium metal products such as ores and concentrates, titanium sponge, titanium ingot, and titanium mill products. It also looks at the processing steps for titanium, along with the applications of titanium and the safety issues with titanium.
The high cost of titanium is analyzed, along with investments in the global titanium industry, recent titanium price surges, as well as an analysis of the production costs including refining cost, fabrication cost, buy-to-fly ratio and the cost saving technical changes for the market. An analysis of the oligopoly in the market as well as the major titanium buyers helps the reader understand the industry structure.
A country-wise analysis of the global titanium industry follows. Countries analyzed include Australia, Canada, Chile, China, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Norway, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Ukraine, the United States, and Vietnam. For the major titanium producing countries such as the US, Ukraine, South Africa, China, and Australia, more in-depth data is included as compared to countries that have smaller or nascent titanium sectors.
