Data for these industries is available through Primary Commodity Prices (pricing benchmarks), Commodity Production Costs (CAPEX/OPEX reports), and Industry Economics Worldwide (manufacturing cost drivers).
Is metals and mining data available at Intratec?
Metals & Mining is one of the 11 industries covered. Commodities tracked in this category include Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Tin, Iron Ore, Lithium Carbonate, Lithium Hydroxide, Cobalt, Palladium, Platinum, Silver, Silicon, Titanium, and various steel products (hot rolled coil, cold rolled coil, reinforcement bar, wire rod, among others).
Metals & Mining data is available through Primary Commodity Prices (price benchmarks) and Commodity Production Costs (manufacturing cost reports).
Does Intratec cover the pharmaceutical sector?
Pharmaceuticals is one of the 11 industries covered. The current commodity list includes Amoxicillin, Calcium Gluconate, Cefalotin, Nitrile Gloves, Paracetamol, Pyrantel Pamoate, Rifampicin, and Tanespimycin.
Pharmaceutical data is available through Commodity Production Costs (CAPEX/OPEX reports for manufacturing processes). If a specific pharmaceutical commodity or process is not in the standard library, bespoke reports can be requested.
Are food and agriculture commodities covered?
Food & Nutrition is one of the 11 industries covered. Commodities in this category include Citric Acid, Glucose, Lactic Acid, Lysine, Methionine, Riboflavin, Caffeine, Carrageenan, and others used as ingredients in human and animal feed or as food additives.
Food & Nutrition data is available through Commodity Production Costs (manufacturing cost reports). Energy-related costs for food processing facilities can also be tracked through Energy Prices & Markets and Industry Economics Worldwide.
Does Intratec cover energy commodities?
Energy commodities are covered through multiple products:
- Energy Prices & Markets — Dedicated subscription product covering 12 energy commodities (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, LPG, Naphtha, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, Fuel Oil, Electricity, Ethanol, Biodiesel) across 33 countries. Includes pricing, market outlook, trade flows, and freight data.
- Commodity Production Costs — The Oil & Energy industry category includes production cost reports for commodities such as Biodiesel, Ethanol, Hydrogen, and others.
- Industry Economics Worldwide — Tracks industrial utility costs (steam, cooling water, compressed air, and related inputs) across 33 countries.
How many commodities does Intratec track in total?
The total varies by product because each one covers a different scope and data type. There is no single combined count — some commodities appear in more than one product.
The breakdown by product:
- Primary Commodity Prices — 220+ commodities across 7 industries (pricing benchmarks).
- Commodity Production Costs — 264 commodities across 10 industries, covered in 858 reports (each report analyzes a specific production route).
- Energy Prices & Markets — 12 energy commodities across 33 countries (pricing, markets, and trade data).
- Industry Economics Worldwide — 10 industrial utilities across 33 countries (utility costs, construction indexes, location factors).
There is overlap between products — for example, Ammonia appears in both Primary Commodity Prices (pricing) and Commodity Production Costs (manufacturing cost analysis). The combined catalogue spans hundreds of unique commodities across all 11 industry categories.
Are all industries covered across all products?
Not all industries are available in every product. Each product has its own scope — the table below shows which industries each one covers.
Primary Commodity Prices covers 7 industries focused on chemical and metals pricing. Commodity Production Costs has the broadest industry coverage with 10 industries. Energy Prices & Markets and Industry Economics Worldwide are organized by country rather than by industry, providing energy commodity data and manufacturing cost drivers that are relevant across multiple sectors.
