ICG provides Market Research and Consulting services in Chemicals since the company’s establishing in 1998.

We have partner relations with governmental agencies responsible for chemical industry, R&D and safety/standard regulation, several large state-run and private chemical producers. We have abilities to make interviews in local languages, to access governmental and industry sources (such as statistic databases, Custom offices’ import and export records, license and certification registers, best-practice-case databases, etc.)

Currently we provide the following services in chemical markets worldwide:
