The four checks before you quote a number
- Scope — finished admixture only, or including upstream polyether macromonomers and mother liquor? An eightfold gap between two published readings for one country is usually a scope gap, not a data error.
- Source type — customs / bill-of-lading data measures traded volume, not domestic production. Modelled estimates measure a defined market basket. They are not interchangeable.
- Data window — calendar year, fiscal year, trailing twelve months, or a forecast base year. Always attach the window to the figure.
- Denominator — a concentration ratio (CR5) computed over 80 entities means something very different from one computed over 8.
Country reports with primary readings
Our country reports each state their own scope, sources and data window on the page. Start with these:
- All market reports — Brazil, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Nigeria, Argentina, Canada, Cameroon, Germany, USA and tender scans

Our evidence policy
Where a country has no traceable admixture import line, we write that explicitly. We do not substitute a modelled estimate for a missing customs figure. See our data and evidence policy.
Frequently asked questions
Why do two market reports give different sizes for the same country?
Almost always scope: one counts finished admixtures at import value, another includes domestic formulation, upstream macromonomers or a broader product basket. Compare the definitions before the figures.
Can I cite an Admixor figure in my own work?
Yes. Cite the specific report with its retrieval date; each report states its own data window and methodology on the page. Prices and tariff schedules move quarterly.
