Chemical Profiles in ICIS Chemical Business



This is a list of Chemical Profiles published in ICIS Chemical Business since it succeeded Chemical Market Reporter in mid-2006. Recent issues of this magazine can be found in the Chemistry Library's journal reading room; older volumes are shelved in the journal stacks by title. Text of the profiles can usually be found in Business Source Complete, but lacking graphics and charts. Access via the ICIS web site is by personal subscription only.

Each one-page Profile includes sections on uses, supply/demand, price, production technology, health and safety concerns, and market outlook. Tables may include production capacity, market share, and average price over time. A profile covers either the American, European, or worldwide market. In 2012 ICIS added an Asian profile and now publishes two profiles per week. Only about 50 chemicals are currently tracked.
