This report is currently available in Russian language only. However, we can provide an English version of the report within 3 weeks after receiving a payment.
This report is the eleventh edition of the study of the steel grinding balls market in Russia and the EAEU.
Market monitoring has been conducted since 1999.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the steel grinding balls market.
The object of the study is steel grinding media used for grinding in ball mills.
This review is the most complete among those presented on the information market on this topic, and claims to be a reference guide replacing Rosstat data, since not all enterprises producing grinding balls report on the volumes of production of the studied products. In addition, the main partner of the Russian Federation in the trade of grinding balls is Kazakhstan, with which we are part of a single customs space (the transportation procedure is simplified, and customs clearance as such is absent). The data of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation on export-import between our countries do not coincide with the data of the Customs Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Railway transportation statistics also do not reflect the real situation, since there is delivery by road.
Using Rosstat data without additional thorough analysis can lead to erroneous management decisions by marketing departments and specialists working in the market for this type of rolled products.
Currently, this is the only work on EAEU grinding balls in the marketing research market.
A distinctive feature of this report is the breadth of its geographical and time frames - a detailed analysis of the production and foreign trade transactions with grinding balls was carried out not only in Russia, but also in the EAEU countries.
This work is a desk study. The following data were used as sources of information: Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation (Rosstat), railway transportation statistics, Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (FCS RF), Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Statistics, State Statistics Committee of the CIS, UNComtrade database, InfoMine database. Also included were data from industry and regional press, annual and quarterly reports of issuers of securities, websites of manufacturers and consumers of steel grinding media. Due to the fact that in Russia, freight transportation by road is not subject to mandatory statistical accounting, this report provides only data on transportation by rail. In conclusion, individual issues were clarified during telephone interviews with participants in the Russian steel grinding ball market.
The chronological scope of the study: 1998-2025; forecast - up to 2035.
Geography of the study: Russian Federation - comprehensive detailed market analysis, Kazakhstan - general market analysis, other EAEU countries - brief description.
Volume of the study: the report consists of 7 parts, contains 293 pages, including 83 tables, 45 figures, 9 appendices.
The first chapter of the report provides an overview of the production technology and quality requirements for steel grinding balls manufactured in Russia.
The second chapter is devoted to the analysis of the production of steel grinding balls in Russia in 1998-2025. The section provides data on the volume of steel grinding balls produced in Russia during this period, traces the dynamics of production, and provides a regional structure of production. The chapter also examines the current state of the main manufacturers of steel balls in the Russian Federation. It provides data on the production technology and equipment used, the range and quality of products, production volumes, enterprise development plans, as well as detailed data on the volumes and directions of product deliveries for 2002-2025.
This chapter also briefly examines the situation on the market for steel grinding balls in Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Belarus.
The third chapter of the report is devoted to the analysis of Russia's foreign trade operations with steel grinding balls in 1998-2025.
The fourth chapter examines export-import deliveries of steel grinding balls of other EAEU countries in 2005-2023.
The fifth chapter is devoted to the analysis of prices for steel grinding balls in Russia. This section presents the prices of the main manufacturers of products on the domestic market in 2005-2025. In addition, an analysis of export-import prices for the period 1999-2025 was conducted.
The sixth chapter examines the consumption of steel grinding balls in Russia in 1999-2025. This section presents the production-consumption balance of these products. In addition, this chapter describes the main consuming industries (iron ore, non-ferrous metal ore mining, gold mining, cement and energy), and provides characteristics of the largest consumers of steel grinding balls in Russia, their development plans, as well as a detailed structure of deliveries of steel grinding balls to these enterprises.
The final, seventh chapter of the report provides a forecast for the production and consumption of steel grinding balls in Russia until 2035.
The address book contains information on manufacturers of steel grinding balls (Appendix 1), as well as large Russian consumers in the iron ore, non-ferrous metallurgy, gold mining, cement, and energy industries (Appendix 2).
Appendices 3-8 contain information on railway deliveries of grinding balls in 2007-2020 to mining and processing plants for the extraction of ferrous, non-ferrous metals, and gold, mineral raw materials, and to enterprises in the construction and energy industries.
Target audience of the study:
– participants in the steel grinding media market – manufacturers, consumers, traders;
– potential investors.
The proposed study claims to be a reference guide for marketing departments and decision-makers working in the grinding media market.
