Forecasting of Products for Individual States and Individual End Users within the U.S.
The standard McIlvaine market reports divide the world in 80 regions. The U.S. market is approximately one quarter of the total. The top 10 countries account for half the total. The remaining 70 countries and sub regions each average just 0.7 percent of the total. If one divides the U.S. into nine regions, the average region is 2.8 percent or four times as large as the average of the 70 countries. Some States such as California have as much as 10 percent of the National market which converts to 2.5 percent of the world market. So a State such as California ranks among the top 20 if compared to other countries. It, therefore, makes sense to forecast the individual State markets for important products. Purchasers of the McIlvaine multi-client market reports can receive this additional revenue forecast on an electronic spreadsheet. The level of detail is shown below:

Alabama - Specific Product XX Revenues 2019 ($ Millions)
Industry Segment XX Product Sales $ millions % of U.S. Basis for Forecast Criterion for Large User No. of Large Purchasers
Food xxx xx Production More than 500 employees xxxx
Wastewater xxx xx MGD 15 MGD xxx
Coal Fired Power xxx xx MW 500 MW xx
Nuclear Power xxx xx MW 1000 MW x
Refinery xxx xx Bbl/day All 130
Pharmaceutical xxx xx production More than 500 employees xxxx
All industries included in basic market report will be included
Total For State of Alabama
Total for South East (one of 9 regions for the U.S.)
A relatively small number of companies purchase the majority of any product. McIlvaine is identifying these companies individually. The State forecast provides the useful total of large users in each industry segment. This forecast can be supplemented with details on each large user.
For some products it may make sense to forecast revenues for sub categories e.g. splitting iron and coal from general mining or split among the various food categories such as:

3111 Animal Food Manufacturing
3112 Grain and Oilseed Milling
3113 Sugar and Confectionery Product Manufacturing
3114 Fruit and Vegetable Preserving and Specialty Food Manufacturing
3115 Dairy Product Manufacturing
3116 Animal Slaughtering and Processing
3117 Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging
3118 Bakeries and Tortilla Manufacturing
3119 Other Food Manufacturing
3121 Beverage Manufacturing

Why international suppliers should focus on the top 200 prospects (Arcelor Mittal example)
Many companies recognize the importance of large customers and have assigned personnel and resources to them. By providing precise forecasting and organized information on large customers, this major opportunity can be maximized. McIlvaine achieves this with the Detailed Forecasting, Large Project Tracking Program. The important parameters are:

• The top 200 suppliers buy more than 60 percent of the products and services.
• A special program should be created to sell to this group.
• International suppliers have the best opportunity selling to large international customers.
• International customers want global suppliers.
• Large customer are willing to pay higher prices for higher quality equipment and services and are willing to expend the effort to make a total cost of ownership evaluation.
• Precise forecasting by product, company and project coupled with timely information will provide the supplier with the tools he needs.
The Arcelor Mittal example:
Arcelor Mittal is one of the top 200 flow control and treatment purchasers. Arcelor Mittal produces 98 million tons of steel per year at 194 sites. It produces twice as much as the nearest competitor or 6 percent of the 1.6 billion tons of steel produced last year. It is also one the largest mining companies with both iron ore and coal mining capacity. The company has production sites around the globe making it one of the top 200 purchasers of flow control and treatment equipment. Last year it purchased 1.3 percent of the fabric filters and bags. It is a major valve purchaser with some plants operating more than 50,000 valves.
The company has adopted a global procurement program based on total cost of ownership. This program launched in 2007 places emphasis on life cycle cost and not initial price. It seeks long term relationships pooling knowledge and deploying specialized technical knowledge. This means that companies with better products have the opportunity to charge the prices commensurate with product value. They also have an opportunity to provide global service to help ensure the lowest cost of ownership.
Air Programs: The company is focused on reduction of dust, NOx and SO2. The capital investment in steel plant air pollution control projects in 2014 was $180 million. Dust emissions were 621 grams per ton of steel produced which is down 24% percent of the 2010 level. NOx emissions fell 4 percent in 2014 to 1.1 kg/ton of steel and SOx emissions decreased 3 percent.
Dust emissions from mining operations fell 6 percent to 5.3 million tons in 2014 while NOx fell 3 percent and SOx 26 percent (mainly due to a fuel change).
In 2014 ArcelorMittal R&D division worked on 13 air emission projects to improve dedusting systems and also processes.
Water Programs: The steel plants use large quantities of water for cooling and are located adjacent to lakes or rivers. Of 134 steel sites, 20 are located in regions which are experiencing water stress or scarcity. As a result, the Global R&D group is focused on water reuse and zero liquid discharge. The water treatment laboratory in Asturias, Spain is investigating green technologies to minimize pollutants.
Water at the mines needs to be treated before discharge. Water is also used for dust suppression, transporting tailings and concentrating ores. Some mines such as El Volcan in Mexico use special thickeners to avoid the use of tailing ponds.
The Indiana Harbor Works has installed a zero liquid discharge system (ZLD). The Newcastle, S.A. site has just commissioned a $40 million facility to treat wastewater. ZLD is already being accomplished at Saldanha and Vanderbijlpark. Two mine water treatment plants are in design and construction in Kazakhstan. A major water reduction program has been underway in Romania.

Monitoring: CiDRA SONARtrac® Process Monitoring Technology is used for product transfer measurement on a 27 km hydrotransport slurry pipeline in Mexico that runs from nearby mines to steel plant in Lázaro Cárdenas City, Michoacán. A high pressure pump injects the slurry into the steel pipeline for the 27 km transit to the pelletizer plant.
Valves: ArcelorMittal Tubarão (formerly CST-Arcelor) Brazil, had Life Cycle contracts with Metso for all automated control, manual and safety valves throughout the ArcelorMittal Tubarão’s plant in Serra City. The total is almost 40,000 valves and included over 700 control valves.
In 2015, ArcelorMittal Tubarão, awarded SGS a four-year contract for the maintenance of security and control valves. A specialist team of 30 experts will detect the type of maintenance required for each valve. Valves will then be removed, opened, serviced and reinstalled. If major repairs are required, the valve will be taken to the dedicated SGS workshop in the city of Serra.
ArcelorMittal Gent is using 25 Econ-ARI Stevi® control valves and accessories from Econosto in order to reduce power consumption in a series of heat exchangers. With this investment, the steel producer expects to reduce its energy bill by between € 60,000 and € 80,000 per year.

Cleanroom Activity Remains Highest in Asia
Electronics and generic pharmaceutical activity in Asia continues to fuel cleanroom growth. McIlvaine tracks the major projects in 80A World Cleanroom Projects.
While the largest number of new cleanrooms are small, the investment per room is low. As a result, a relatively few large cleanroom projects account for 50 percent of the filters, fans, HVAC, walls, benches and other hardware. The large rooms also contain more high purity space. An ISO Class 1 room builder would likely spend 10 times as much per square foot for filters as would an ISO Class 8 room builder.
For management it is very valuable and feasible to track the large room activity and thus pursue a large portion of the market directly. The large room projects slated for start-up in 2016 provide an example.
Sixteen large cleanroom projects are slated for the U.S. A solar cell project will startup in Brazil. Nine pharmaceutical and biotech cleanrooms will be completed in France, Germany, Iceland, Switzerland and the UK. The rest of the projects are in Asia and are listed below
