Global chemical markets, while increasingly integrated, often suffer from short-term volatility. Stakeholders, in turn, must make decisions under conditions of rapid change and uncertainty. The World Analysis service helps clients situate immediate questions and concerns within their long-term context. Each World Analysis provides a detailed and global market outlook for its respective product group over an 11-year analysis period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast) across ten geographic regions. Clients depend on our expert data collection, analysis and forecasts to support their vital planning and investment decisions.
Subscriptions to a World Analysis include access to our online capacity and supply/demand databases; online access to the study; and online access to the Excel file containing regional supply/demand graphs—all with easy search and download functionality. Clients are able to manipulate capacity data (ie, capacity by producer, shareholder, ownerships, integration, site, etc.) to accommodate their information needs. In addition, clients may choose to receive a hard copy (for most studies) or a CD-ROM version of the report.
