Welcome to the ICIS Reporter weekly newsletter
ICIS Chemical Business ICIS Reporter newsletter brings you all the analysis and insight you need to keep you ahead of the game in the competitive and dynamic chemical industry! This week we focus on soaps and detergents. With end-use markets still in the doldrums in developed regions, manufacturers of surfactants are suffering a real squeeze as feedstock costs rocket. Developing countries are helping to lead the recovery in global demand. The African caustic soda market shows a lot of potential for growth.

What factors will impact the petrochemical market over the next few years?
ICIS invites you to attend our newly launched "The New Normal – Petrochemicals and the New Demand Drivers" seminar in Singapore on February 24, 2011.
The current extended downturn is leading us into the market's "new normal". As the global economy recovers, we will experience a new landscape rather than a return to the previous boom period. Understanding the new demand drivers of the market will be crucial for staying ahead of the pack – especially at a time when merely reacting is too late.

Register today to find out where petrochemical markets are heading over the next few months and how key regional and global influences will shape the long-term outlook.
