This report analyzes the worldwide markets for Manganese in Thousands of Metric Tonnes. The major product segments analyzed are Manganese Alloys (Ferro Manganese (FeMn), Silico Manganese (SiMn), Refined Ferro Manganese (Ref FeMn), & Non-Ferrous Alloys), and Compounds (Oxides, Sulphates, and Chlorides). The end-use segments also analyzed are Steel, Batteries and Others (include chemical applications such as inorganic salts and carboxylates, medicines, rust proofing in metals, and as catalysts) and other applications including plant fertilizers, animal feed, pigments in ceramics, colorant for bricks, as coatings to expedite drying of paints and enamels, as a fuel oil additive, match and glass applications among others.) The report provides separate comprehensive analytics for the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Rest of World. Annual forecasts are provided for each region and product segment for the period of 2001 through 2010. A ten-year historic analysis is also provided for these markets with annual market analytics. The report profiles 47 companies including many key and niche players worldwide such as Assmang Ltd., Carus Chemical Company, Compania Minera De L’ogooue, Companhia Vale Do Rio Doce, Compania Minera Autlan, Eramet SA, Manganese Metal Company, Nippon Denko Company Ltd., and Samancor Limited.
