In all, our ChemForesight service provides commentary and graphical analysis of price movements and predictions for 43 chemicals.
In the fourth white paper of the series A chemicals industry crystal ball is commentary, graphs and price level forecasting for polyamide, caprolactam, polypropylene, polyurethanes feedstock MDI plus a range of plasticisers.

A chemicals industry crystal ball: Forecasting key products
This latest in the series of white papers to leverage insight and datasets from our ChemForesight service deepo dives into DIDP, DPHP and DINP markets globally. The way that the global plasticisers market is changing is a subject we explored in our earlier blog post An investigation of plasticisers in the 21st century.
White paper Part 3
A trio of chemicals key to the manufacture of PET packaging – purified terephthalic acid (PTA), isophthalic acid (PIA) and ethylene glycol (also known as monoethylene glycol) – feature in the third white paper of our series.
Part 3 also explores mixed xylenes, diethylene glycol (DEG), adipic acid, n-Butanol, propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin (ECH) and monopropylene glycol (MPG). Manufacturing MPG – used in food & beverages, plastics, liquid detergents, paint, antifreeze as well as pharma and cosmetics – consumes in excess of two billion pounds (lbs) per year of petroleum.
Earlier this year we explored biobased routes in our blog post Biobased monopropylene glycol: A bumpy road to a decarbonised world.

ChemForesight leverages datasets prepared by our consultants based on regular interaction with a roster of producers, industry contacts and market participants. The datasets, which are available to subscribers of our chemicals business intelligence platform OrbiChem360, help our analysts assess the relative tightness of given markets.
White paper Part 2
Key polyurethanes feedstock 1,4-Butanodiol (BDO) as well as benzene, toluene and methanol feature in the second white paper. As with prior iterations in the series, there is commentary plus graphs showing price levels from 2018 to December 2022 and predicted to 2024.
The second white paper also focuses on styrene, chlorine, ethylene oxide and acetic anhydride.
