Dolomite market potential from the view of export and import in the chosen countries

Dolomite presents the most promising lightweight metal in the twenty-first century. The worldwide dolomite market is expected to increase. However, some countries registered a decrease in the export and import of dolomite. The goal of the presented paper is to evaluate the potential of the dolomite market from the perspective of export and import trends in V4, Austria, and Ukraine, to identify opportunities for market improvement. The research methods employed are basic statistical techniques, with subsequent processing in JMP software. The results show that there is an annual increase in exports and imports. However, EU countries are still dependent on imports of raw materials. The results are useful for decision-making, policymaking, and strategic planning in different sectors and at different levels.
