growth in CTRM for precious metals; however, as gold prices are driven by a number of influences outside of physical
supply and demand, it is difficult to forecast future performance of this market. Nonetheless we do believe, based
on past performance, that this commodity segment will produce a slight increase in demand (less than 3%) through
2018.
As previously noted, demand for industrial metals has softened over the last 18 months. We are however forecasting
growth in CTRM for metals and ores to increase by about 5% per year as market conditions for industrial
consumption of iron, steel, and alloys improves.
Continuing demand for agricultural products, including many softs, will help maintain prices and volatilities.
Additionally, increasing adoption of CTRM products by agricultural and CPG market players will drive provide good
market growth rates for technology. We anticipate that sales of CTRM capable systems will remain high as
agricultural centric market participants continue to adopt to these systems to better manage price, currency, credit
and operational risk associated with their long, global supply chains. In all, we anticipate growth in this commodity
segment will average 7-8% over the next 5 years.
