Global Titanium Report 2016 - Markets, Opportunities, and New Processes for Aerospace, Industrial, Medical, Military & Consumer Markets - Research and Markets
DUBLIN, July 04, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Titanium Age: Markets, Opportunities, and New Processes" report to their offering.
This report, the third version of the initial titanium study analyzes current markets in titanium, pricing and supply issues in a range of titanium products like scrap, sponge, ingot, plate, etc., and effects of current economic and demand conditions. The report also discusses emerging market opportunities through the maturing of technologies that promise to reduce the cost of titanium extraction, manufacturing, machining and welding. Forecasts are provided for both traditional and potential new titanium markets in a number of key sectors.
This new market study analyzes the current state of traditional titanium markets and current economic conditions. The effects of emerging low cost titanium processes and the market forces that will determine the future of the industry are investigated in detail. New and sometimes unexpected market opportunities are analyzed and forecasts are provided for both traditional markets, some of them unaffected by low cost processes, and new market opportunities created by low cost titanium.
The report is based on more than 100 in-depth interviews with experts from industry, Government and academia, as well as a broad range of published materials.
