Global Plastics and Polymers

Chemical Market Advisory Service: Global Plastics & Polymers from IHS Markit (formerly CMAI Global Plastics & Polymers Market Advisory Service) provides a comprehensive view of world markets for six major thermoplastic resins (PE, PP, PS, EPS, PVC and PET) and their relationships with upstream and downstream sectors.

From start to finish each month, Chemical Market Advisory Service: Global Plastics & Polymers delivers our subscribers a wealth of data on six major thermoplastic resins in North America, Western Europe and Asia. In the first week, you receive spot and contract prices, quarterly price forecasts and extensive commentary on key market analytics covering the entire supply chain. Around the third week of each month, the client receives a supplement containing data and intelligence on economics, quarterly supply and demand balances and trade. At the month's end, clients receive that month's ending price index for the major covered products.

Subscribers may choose to enhance this service with an add-on monthly update covering the European downstream plastics supply chain. Let our practice save you time and resources by collecting and translating the data into valuable insights and forecasting advice.
Products covered:
  • Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  • Polystyrene (PS)
