Chemical Economics

Handbook
Your one-stop resource for chemical market information
Access Comprehensive Chemical
Industry Data and Analysis
Strategic business planning takes time. And much of that time involves finding, gathering, reconciling, and
verifying the data you need to make informed decisions. Our information and analysis allows you to spend
your time making decisions rather than preparing for them.

Launched in 1950, the Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) is the world’s leading chemical business
research service. Offering information on over 300 chemicals and chemical markets, it can help you better
understand both the global chemical industry and specific market environments. CEH lets you spend your
time where it matters most—making decisions.

Gain an In-depth Understanding of Individual Benefits

Chemical Markets
With CEH, you don’t get data on just some of the
chemical markets—you gain access to detailed, unbiased
information and analysis for all major large-volume
chemical markets. This information is delivered through
reports that provide five-year outlooks and vital market
data for individual chemicals or chemical groups.
The reports contain information on supply, demand,
manufacturing processes, trade, and prices. You can
be assured that the information fueling your important
decisions is thoroughly researched and reviewed with our
extensive network of industry contacts.
Subscribe today
While CEH individual reports are available for purchase,
most clients benefit from an annual subscription to
the service. A subscription offers insight into the highly
interconnected chemicals markets by providing access to:
‒‒ All CEH reports (through the CEH website)
‒‒ Chemical experts who can answer questions about the
findings in the reports
‒‒ Regular releases of supplemental datasets (the
Chemical Manual of Current Indicators MCI and the
Economic Indicators report)
CEH can help you:
‒‒ Identify trends and driving forces influencing
chemical markets
‒‒ Forecast and plan for future demand
‒‒ Understand the impact of competing materials
‒‒ Find and evaluate potential customers
and competitors
‒‒ Evaluate producers
‒‒ Track changing prices and trade movements
‒‒ Analyze the impact of feedstocks, regulations,
and other factors on chemical profitability
Report Contents
‒‒ Supply—producers, plant locations, annual
capacities, capacity utilization, and
production volumes
‒‒ Demand—market size, end-use applications,
consumption trends, and competing materials
‒‒ Manufacturing processes—commercial
processes and basic chemistry
‒‒ Trade—import/export data, countries of origin
and destination, and shipment values
‒‒ Price—histories, unit sales volumes, and factors
affecting prices
Program Scope The Chemical Economics Handbook includes detailed information on and
analysis of the history, status and projected market trends for the industry’s
