However, the USA's glass industry has shown very limited growth in the 1990s, with consumption of soda ash steadily declining. In response to flat domestic demand and the relatively low rate of price increase, some US soda ash producers are starting to manufacture more value-added products. Between 1992 and 1995 US exports of soda ash to Western Europe fell from 656,400t to just 134,900t. The Economics of Soda Ash is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts, including interviews with the major players in the industry, the use of specialist libraries and an exhaustive review of our unique in-house database. The report is founded on a close appraisal of published and unpublished information from a wide variety of sources worldwide - mining and chesoda ashl company reports, the statistics of major producers, leading journals, technical and trade literature and official national statistics.
