ICIS provides comprehensive coverage of the ethylene market in Asia. In recent years the spotlight has been focused on Asia where rapidly growing economies such as China and India have fuelled strong demand for petrochemical products.
As such, the price movements for ethylene, a major feedstock for petrochemicals, are closely watched by the industry.
Therefore, we offer both daily and weekly coverage of the Asia market to meet the demand for news and information.
We also provide daily real-time price updates through our price alerts and news snapshots.
In the reports, we track the prices of ethylene imports into northeast Asia (NE Asia) and southeast Asia (SE Asia) through deals and discussions heard during the week.
We monitor cracker developments closely in the region and cover any turnarounds or outages that could have an impact on the market.
The ethylene weekly report has sections on freight rates and contract prices in addition to the spot information.
ICIS in Asia has reported on the ethylene market for close to 20 years and we have established a wide contact base of producers, buyers and traders in a market that is not openly transparent.
Our published prices are considered essential by our customers as they are used as key benchmarks for contract negotiations.
