Commercial Analysis

Market analysis includes a dynamic understanding of three fundamental characteristics along any product value chains-end use demand, supply volume and technology structure, and inter-product competition and replacement potential. Nexant analyses these fundamentals with a range of sophisticated tools:

• Realtime and comprehensive forecasting models of supply, demand, trade, end use, and capacity
• Soundly based and widely accepted price forecasts
• Extensive in-house technology databases
• Broad and deep industry contacts in all facets of the energy industry
• Advanced knowledge of the cutting edge emerging technologies
• In-depth country specific and global market analyses of clean energy and related conventional energy resources and chemicals products

Nexant's overall approach to market analysis is to follow commodity theory to link "tons"-or volumes of products supplied and sold in the market-with "money," which is a driver that optimizes the financial sustainability of an evolving business (such as clean energy) as well as mature businesses (such as oil and chemicals).
