About Us

Commodity Inside is a leading independent research firm specialising in commodity markets and industrial end-use sectors. We provide strategic market intelligence, rigorous analysis, and expert consulting to help companies navigate the complexities of global commodities, from raw materials through supply chains to finished products. Our clients depend on us to uncover market trends, quantify demand drivers, and identify risks before they impact their business.

  • Proprietary econometric models that reveal structural trends beneath market noise and forecast demand with precision
  • Complete independence: we hold no trading positions, answer to no commodity exchange, and publish unbiased analysis our clients can trust implicitly
Markets We Cover

We specialise in the materials and sectors that define global supply chains:

  • Materials: Steel, aluminium, glass, plastics, and paper
  • End-use sectors: Automotive, packaging, construction, white goods, and energy

Sustainability & Environment

Commodity markets are reshaping around decarbonisation, circular economy principles, and environmental regulation. We help companies navigate this transformation:

  • Carbon impact analysis – Understand the carbon intensity of commodity sourcing and how regulatory carbon pricing affects supply chains
  • Circular economy trends – Track recycling adoption, secondary material demand, and how it disrupts primary commodity markets
  • ESG-driven supply chain shifts – Anticipate how sustainability commitments reshape material procurement and logistics
  • Policy & regulation foresight – Monitor how carbon borders, emissions trading schemes, and export controls affect commodity flows and pricing

These principles guide everything we do:

  • Accuracy first – Our reputation depends on research you can rely on
  • Independence always – We follow the data, not the consensus or our clients’ preferences
  • Clarity over complexity – We translate market data into insight executives can act on
  • Intellectual honesty – We acknowledge uncertainty, surface alternative scenarios, and flag what we don’t know
  • Long-term thinking – We help you plan for structural change, not just quarterly moves

Corporate Responsibility

We reinvest our success into communities where commodities originate. Each year, we donate five per cent of our profit to charitable causes selected by our team—focused on poverty alleviation and opportunity in rural and developing regions where commodity production is central to livelihoods.

According to the World Bank, more than three-quarters of those living in extreme poverty reside in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their income. We believe that understanding commodity markets and supporting the communities that power them go hand in hand.
