In Y2016 main factor of sales decline was slump in realization on CIS market, while sales on Ukrainian and European markets increased (by 12% for both markets up to 119k tons and 124k tons correspondingly). On the other side sales on MENA market declined by 19% to 69k tons, because of negative situation in Turkey, Egypt and Iraq markets.
As for wheels, realization on CIS markets became main growth factor, Ukrainian sales increased as well (due to slow recovery of Ukrainian railcars market, mainly related to state orders).
