T.I.C. Market Statistics and Analysis
The T.I.C. Statistics Programme provides independent analysis of global tantalum concentrate trade and market developments, prepared by ONG Commodities and published every six months.
Drawing on national import and export statistics, Global Trade Tracker data, government revenue reports, and extensive industry knowledge, ONG Commodities transforms complex raw data into meaningful market intelligence. The resulting reports offer valuable insights into global trade flows, supply chain developments, and trends within the tantalum industry.
As a benefit of T.I.C. membership, newly published statistical reports are available exclusively to T.I.C. members for the first 12 months following publication. After this period, the reports are released publicly and become available to the wider industry.
These reports form part of T.I.C.’s ongoing commitment to supporting informed decision-making and improving transparency across the global tantalum and niobium supply chain.
Connecting global innovators in tantalum and niobium, driving advancements from raw materials to cutting-edge applications.
