ICIS is implementing a process of rolling consultation on all of its pricing methodologies. This consultation paper is part of this formal process and covers all of the ICIS primary price points included in the maleic anhydride weekly publications.
The consultation asks both general questions about the suitability of the ICIS pricing methodology and questions addressing specific maleic anhydride market issues.
There was one formal response to consultation GMC 24/18.

ICIS Decision
The respondent noted that occasional imports into Europe from the US and Asia set the bottom of the market.
ICIS will not be proposing any immediate changes to the methodology of the maleic anhydride report. Any decision to change this methodology will be communicated to subscribers using the usual channels and with the usual notice period.
ICIS continues to welcome any feedback on its methodology outside of the formal consultation process.
To provide further comments or feedback please contact Barbara Ortner, Head of Market Reporting: Barbara.Ortner@icis.com
