Market Intelligence CDI remains a long-standing source of industry price benchmarks and forecasts in plastics and petrochemicals, now under ICIS. This points to opportunities to upsell advanced market intelligence subscriptions, customized reports, and deeper analytics for clients in plastics, petrochemicals, oils, and related sectors seeking up-to-date pricing, capacity data, and margins.

Global Reach With a client base that spans the globe and a history dating to 1979, CDI/ICIS has established credibility among investment, energy, oil, chemical, and plastics converters. Sales opportunities exist in expanding multi-client reports, regional pricing services (e.g., Iberian/Italian markets), and tailored market briefs for international customers expanding footprints.

Data-Driven Offerings The company provides extensive data, capacity tables, supply/demand balances, and forecasting horizons (18-24 months). There’s potential to cross-sell data integration services, API access, and custom dashboards using the existing tech stack to integrate with clients’ ERP or analytics platforms.

Strategic Partnerships As part of ICIS Relx, CDI benefits from corporate backing and broader media/industry reach. This presents an angle to bundle solutions with ICIS events, conferences, and award programs, offering prospects bundled research subscriptions with sponsorships, insights from industry events, and sponsored content opportunities.

Expansion Signals Recent ICIS pricing launches in recycled and regional segments indicate ongoing market segmentation and evolving material scopes. This creates sales opportunities to present clients with updated pricing models, niche market intel (rLDPE, rPET, regional flakes), and advisory services to navigate regulatory-driven price dynamics.
