1. Objectives and structure of the research Part 1 – Estimation of market size and segmentation and presentation of the active companies in the market 1. Estimation of total market size for pipes in Romania – by value (Euro) and by quantity (tons) 2. Segmentation of piping market by pipe categories (segmentation by value and by quantity)) The next pipe categories will be studied: - HDPE pipes – high density polyethylene - PVC pipes – polychloride of vinyl 3. Detailed analysis of market segmentation (2006-2007) The study is structured in 2 modules, depending on the material type:  Module A – PVC pipes  Module B – HDPE pipes For each module (A-E) the next information will be presented: 

Pipes market segmentation by origin (local production vs. imports) - Volume and value for imports and local production - The analysis of the main importers and local producers



Pipes market segmentation by destination: - Piping systems for hot water supply - Piping systems for cold water supply - Piping systems for gas supply - Piping systems for heating equipments - Piping systems for urban drainage - Piping systems for used water draining - Other usages

 

The market segmentation of each segment by diameter The market segmentation of each segment by geographical regions

4. Analysis and presentation of the most important market players:  Market share estimations for the most important suppliers of pipes (per segment)  Presentation of the most relevant local producers and importers – for each player the following information is presented: - The production/imports analysis in 2005-2007 and the market segmentation by type - Exports analysis (only where applicable) by volume (tons) and value (euro) - Sales segmentation by type and diameter – by entire country and by geographical regions - Distribution channels used by each supplier by type of piping systems - Domestic production and imports - forecast for 2008 - 2009 - Identifying the main developments / directions of each company (investments, modification of the capacity of production, etc) - Economic and financial information (turnover, profit/loss, number of employees, type of organization, etc)
