In an effort to offset the fluctuations in demand from the aerospace industry, titanium companies have tried to provoke growth in demand from other industries such as leisure goods and oil and gas drilling. The most significant new end-use is titanium heads for golf clubs, but markets are also being developed which are less subject to change. The market which is forecast to grow fastest is titanium armour. This report is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts. They have interviewed major industry players and conducted a close appraisal of information from a wide variety of sources, including governments, trade associations, company reports, leading producers, official organisations, trade journals and technical literature.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
