LONDON, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ICIS, a global leader in commodity intelligence, announced it has acquired the AMI Plastics Market Intelligence Dataset, strengthening its ability to provide customers with deeper, more connected insight into global polymer demand. The acquisition will strengthen ICIS’ supply and demand expertise while broadening its downstream analysis of how materials are used across virgin polymers, recyclates, compounds, masterbatch and additives. This results in a clearer view of where demand is evolving, how end markets are shifting, and what actions to take in response.
Established in 1986, AMI has decades of experience in providing expert knowledge, in-depth research, market intelligence and data for the global plastics industry. 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.”
Curtis added: “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.”
