By bringing AMI’s established downstream analysis into the ICIS Supply & Demand Database, customers can now access a more complete picture of the plastics value chain. This connects production, consumption, and application-level insight in a single, trusted source, enabling a better understanding of how changes in sectors such as packaging, automotive, and energy translate into polymer demand.
In practical terms, this means customers can move beyond fragmented or inferred demand signals and instead work with granular, validated data on how polymers are used across key processes, including injection moulding, extrusion, and compounding. It also provides deeper visibility into growth areas such as flexible film and circular plastics, supporting more informed decisions on pricing, sourcing, investment, and strategy.
Dean Curtis, CEO & Managing Director of ICIS, said: “Customers increasingly need a complete view of polymer markets, not just supply, but how demand is evolving at a granular level. By integrating AMI’s data into the ICIS supply and demand capability, we are enabling customers to better understand where the market is moving and make decisions with greater confidence. AMI has long-standing credibility in plastics market intelligence, particularly in downstream market analysis. By combining this data together with our existing expertise, we will empower our customers with richer insight into supply and demand, a comprehensive view of global polymer markets, and trusted guidance to interpret what the data really means in this fast-moving landscape.”
AMI’s Director of Market Intelligence, Martyna Fong added: “AMI’s demand and processor data enables ICIS to offer additional value to a broad set of customers. Meanwhile AMI’s market intelligence offering will continue to focus on delivering in-depth reports as well as bespoke consulting services for the plastics and packaging industries. We are also strengthening and broadening our portfolio of international events, which include North America’s largest annual plastics industry exhibition, as well as major new expos for the textiles recycling sector held in Belgium and the US.”
