ICIS Pricing Launches Weekly Polymer Price Assessments in Africa

LONDON - ICIS pricing, the leading price reporting service for the global chemical industry, has launched new weekly price reports for polypropylene and polyethylene in Africa.

The plastics market in Africa is growing at a significant pace and ICIS pricing is responding to this demand by establishing independent price assessments in Africa for polyethylene and polypropylene markets.

These new pricing reports will aid transparency in the market, allowing players to make business decisions based on accurate, unbiased price assessments and market intelligence. The new reports provide price assessments for polyethylene and polypropylene, CFR north and southern Africa, FD South Africa, plus commentary on the west and eastern African markets.

ICIS pricing assessments are based on information gathered from a wide cross-section of the market, comprising consumers, producers, traders and distributors. Confirmed deals, verified by both buyer and seller, are sought to provide the foundation of price assessments in the reports.

ICIS already produces a number of established polymer reports in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, China, Latin America and North America. Many of these pricing reports are widely used for benchmarking and market intelligence, to underpin commercial contracts and to support key business decisions.
