A global view of ethylene key markets in Europe, the US and Asia

Ethylene markets can react to change quickly. It’s crucial for buyers, sellers and producers to stay alert and aware of what’s happening, both in their region and internationally. Unplanned cracker outages at major facilities can have a strong impact on regional and global ethylene markets. And polyethylene – the largest downstream sector for ethylene – is particularly sensitive to packaging demand shifts.

We help you stay abreast of change as it’s happening. We keep you informed of the current price and market position, so you can make the most of opportunities to trade or secure a deal. Our experience in the sector means that our prices are the leading benchmark in Asia and Europe. They are frequently used in contracts secured by major producers, traders and end users. We provide the detail you can trust to support your decisions.
