Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Kpler: Data and analytics platform for commodity flows (oil, gas, dry bulk) — directly overlaps with Rystad's Oil Trading, Gas & LNG Trading and Supply Chain offerings via alternative commodity tracking datasets.
• Wood Mackenzie: Closest direct competitor — independent energy research, data and consultancy covering oil & gas, power, renewables and transition. Overlapping subscription data products, advisory model, and shared customers (Shell, BP, Equinor) make it the most comparable peer.
• Energy Aspects: Independent oil and refined products research firm with subscription data and analyst services. Highly comparable on the trading and oil macro side, with similar mid-size, privately-held profile.
• Argus Media: Independent price reporting, data and market intelligence for energy and commodities, with subscription publications and consulting. Closely comparable subscription-driven model serving similar enterprise energy buyers.

Broad incumbents

• S&P Global Commodity Insights: Larger incumbent offering Platts pricing, ETRM/CTRM, analytics and consulting across energy and commodities. Competes directly with Rystad's trading and macro solutions but is part of a much broader financial-information platform with greater scale.
• BloombergNEF: Energy-transition research and data provider owned by Bloomberg. Overlaps heavily with Rystad on renewables, power, hydrogen and carbon analytics while leveraging Bloomberg's distribution to financial clients.
• IHS Markit (now part of S&P Global): After the S&P merger, its energy research and consulting arm competes with Rystad's upstream, midstream and macro analysis from inside a much larger financial-information platform.
• LSEG (formerly Refinitiv, including Eikon/ICIS): Workspace, ICIS and Lipper platforms provide energy and commodity data, analytics and news competing with Rystad's Data & Analytics products, bundled into broader capital-markets workflows.

Emerging players

• Vortexa: Real-time oil and refined products cargo tracking and analytics. Adjacent to Rystad's trading solutions, with a more software/API-native model that highlights Rystad's delivery-model gap.

Others

• DNV: Energy consultancy, certification and assurance firm that is both a Rystad customer and an adjacent provider of technical and energy-system consulting — useful comparable for the advisory side of Rystad's business.
