SINGAPORE, November 13 /PRNewswire/ -- ICIS pricing, http://www.icispricing.com/, the world's leading price reporting service for the global chemical industry, has launched a new weekly Glycol Ethers Asia price report in response to growing demand and increased trade flows within the Asia-Pacific region.

The report covers propylene- and ethylene-based glycol ethers, providing CFR China CFR South East Asia price assessments and commentary on the northeast Asia market.

Asia is currently one of the largest producers of paints, coatings and electronics. The region also has strong growth demand which has increased global trade flows significantly, especially in southeast Asia and China.

Currently though with falling crude prices, glycol ethers prices in Asia have moved downwards quite significantly in the last month. With demand decreasing across the region, coupled with full inventories and low off-takes from end-user markets, prices are increasingly opaque, said ICIS Senior Editor, Anu Agarwal.

The arrival of in-depth commentary and comprehensive price assessments combined with incisive market intelligence on the Asian glycol ethers market makes the new Asia report a vital must-have to understanding the current price volatility and market situation.

The Asia report completes the global portfolio where ICIS has established price benchmarks in Europe and the US.
