As a result, chemical professionals must often make high-revenue decisions with limited future visibility. In response, IHS Markit has recently updated our World Analysis service to transition from a tool that supports your annual planning efforts to serving as a dynamic reference that operationalizes your strategic insights throughout the year. In addition to constantly updated capacity levels and biannually updated supply-demand balances - including the 10-year forecast for each - the enhanced World Analysis service now includes country-level trade grids, quarterly updated pricing, cost and margin forecasts, and the inclusion of upside-downside sensitivities to the base-case forecast.
