Lucintel’s PESTLE Analysis of Russia: Economy to Reach $3.18 Trillion by 2018

Russia is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The country’s economy is expected to reach $3.18 trillion by 2018. Russia’s economic performance suffered during the global financial crisis but recovered in 2010 and 2011, due factors such as government stimulus packages and export growth. Petroleum and iron and steel are the leading industries in the country.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a competitive analysis on the PESTLE analysis of the country and presents its findings in “PESTLE Analysis of Russia 2013.” This report studies the Political, Economic, Social, Technological, and Legal analysis of Russia and includes a SWOT analysis and recent economic policy study.

Lucintel’s analysis indicates that Russia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Its high Corruption Perception Index (CPI) has become one of the major concerns for the investors looking to invest in the country. Russia also suffers from a high homicide rate. Major crimes ,including murder and robbery, are quite high in the country, which also reflects the risk of the country’s internal security.

The report also highlights the major drivers of the economy. Strong domestic demand is the key driver of the Russian economy. A solid workforce and abundant natural resources drive the economy. Domestic demand of population consumes almost half of the GDP. Russia’s strategic geographic location acts as a strength of the country, connecting it with the other valuable markets of Europe and Asia.

This report analyzes the impact of different macroeconomic indicators of Russia on various industries. This also includes the impact of socio-political-demographical changes on different industries. This report analyzes domestic and external economic trends, government policies, technological changes, and their impact on different industries.

Lucintel Forecasts Good Growth Opportunities for Composites Industry Stakeholders in Global Rail Market during 2013-2018

The total global rail market is expected to witness good growth and reach an estimated $278 billion in 2018. Composite materials consumption in the global rail industry experienced high double-digit growth from 2007 to 2012. Greater growth in composites material consumption compared to the growth in the number of global railcars sold demonstrates the increase in the average composite materials content per vehicle over those five years. Recent research indicates that the rail composites market will be in a higher growth phase in 2013-2014 Composites consumption in the global rail market in terms of end market is expected to reach $428.4 million in 2018.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted an analysis of the industry and presents its findings in “Opportunities for Composites in the Global Rail Market 2013-2018.”In the global rail market, Asia Pacific (APAC) is anticipated to witness the highest growth, followed by the Rest of the World, Europe, and North America.

Composites use in the global rail is primarily driven by weight reduction, which increases the speed of the train and FST performance, which increases the safety. Some challenges exist, however, such as the high cost of composites compared to metals, lack of proper joining techniques, absence of standardization (in terms of material grade), and poor reparability and recyclability. These challenges all threaten to limit the penetration of composites in high-speed rail applications.

The market is highly dominated by the polyester resin due to cost competitiveness. Most of the composite materials used are based on glass/polyester laminates followed by the glass/phenolic laminates. Use of the latter is confined to high fire risk applications, such as trains that frequently go through tunnels.

The report, which provides trend scenarios and forecast statistics for 2013-2018; details industry drivers and challenges; global rail market analysis by types of rail cars and regions; describes industry leaders; highlights composite materials and their applications in rail industry; presents an overview of composites applications in rail market; discuses composites rail tie manufacturers; and more.
