How have our customers used ICIS consulting?

Here’s a case study looking at how we assessed forecast prices and supply and demand for a large petrochemical portfolio.

A large joint-venture refining and petrochemical company, planning to develop overall strategic plans and engaging new market operations, commissioned ICIS consulting to conduct analysis and research on the status quo of its feedstock and products in international, domestic and targeted regional markets, and to forecast development trends over the next five years.

The research included international crude oils, other feedstock and product oils, as well as an industrial analysis of the chemical sector, pricing mechanisms and changing trends, involving about 50 petrochemical products.
