What is Polyglobe?

The increasing complexity of the markets is leading to growing challenges in the procurement of plastics. Up-to-date and reliable information on the supply side is essential. However, data gathered from expensive market studies is quickly outdated and offers little flexibility in terms of evaluation. In addition, procuring individual information is extremely time-consuming and rarely complete.

Market transparency the intelligent way

Polyglobe provides quick and reliable information about the present and medium-to-long-term capacity situation for global polymer production. The unique online database contains information on manufacturers, plants and capacities for plastics and their feedstocks.

It is updated daily and maintained by the PIE editorial and price teams and their network of reporters. Polyglobe offers optimum market transparency, eg on capacity utilisation and availability, as well as comprehensive statistics and forecasts. All information can be quickly and easily selected and displayed with various levels of detail. Additional background information is also available for many of the statistics to help you with your decision-making.

Best in class information at your fingertips

Buying expensive studies and the time-consuming selection and preparation of data by your employees are now a thing of the past: With Polyglobe, you get all the information you need at the touch of a button – and at a sensationally low price.
