Current view on the study of current problems of price setting for pipe products: forecast of trends

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the factors influencing the price of tubular products, taking into account the integration of the industry in the global supply chain. The methodological basis of the study was the method of trend analysis in determining trends with indexes of prices of tubular goods; the method of comparative analysis to identify structural shifts in the geographical and product structure of exports and imports; the method of deduction and induction in determining the position of the pipe industry in global supply chains; method of correlation-regression analysis to identify factors significantly affecting the price of tubular goods. The scientific novelty of the results of the study consists in singling out current problems significantly affecting the price of tubular products and constructing a correlation and regression model to identify the positive and negative correlation of factors affecting the price of tubular products. The practical value of the results of the study consists in the development of recommendations for the identification, analysis, and evaluation of price structure for tubular products. Prospects for further research will consist in the development of a set of scientific and methodological provisions on the participation of the pipe industry in global supply chains. The results can be considered as a holistic concept to identify problems significantly affecting the formation of prices for tubular products, taking into account structural shifts in supply and demand in the global market.
