The actual report is devoted to study of continuous basalt fiber and enforcement materials market in the CIS, to description of its principle participants and to exploration of potential demand for this product.

The Report consists of eight Sections, contains 128 pages, 64 tables and 24 figures.

The First Chapter gives general view to continuous basalt fiber (CBF), history of invention and production process, physical and chemical properties, fields of application, comparison with the closest composite material – the glass.

The Second Chapter presents CBF market structure in Russia.

The Third Chapter is devoted to analysis of CBF manufacture; it presents producers of continuous fiber in Russia and Ukraine, mentioning principle type of products.

The Fourth Chapter describes CBF articles market, detailing characteristics of each segment: basalt-plastic reinforcements, composite flexible connections and basalt reinforcing mesh.

The Fifth Chapter presents additional information about disperse reinforcement with basalt fiber. According to LLC «InfoMine» experts, revision of CBF reinforcement articles and materials market would be incomplete without this chapter.

The Sixth Chapter describes CBF articles and materials foreign trade operations in Russia and Ukraine during 2007-2010.

The Seventh Chapter informs of CBF products export price dynamics as well as presents basalt-plastic reinforcement and its glass analogues domestic price analysis.

The final Eighth Chapter renders short term outlook at CBF and basalt-plastic reinforcement markets development.
