Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• LSEG (Refinitiv/Reuters): LSEG, through Refinitiv and Reuters, provides global financial and commodity market data, analytics and news including agricultural commodity coverage. It is a broad incumbent competing for the same enterprise data budgets as RMI Analytics, though without RMI's focused malting barley specialisation.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (Platts): S&P Global Commodity Insights (including Platts) is a broad incumbent offering benchmark pricing, market data and analytics across energy, metals and agriculture. Overlaps with RMI Analytics on agricultural commodity intelligence but at vastly larger scale and broader scope, serving many of the same large enterprise procurement audiences.

Direct peers

• Fastmarkets: Fastmarkets is a leading commodity price reporting and market intelligence provider covering agricultural and metal markets. It is directly comparable to RMI Analytics in offering subscription-based, multi-source pricing data and market insights for physical commodities serving global supply chains.
• Mintec: Mintec provides commodity price data, market intelligence and forecasting tools across food, agriculture and raw materials, sold largely on subscription to procurement teams. It is closely comparable to RMI Analytics in business model (recurring data subscriptions), target buyer (procurement and supply chain managers), and category (agricultural commodity intelligence).
• Argus Media: Argus Media is a global commodity price reporting and analytics provider with strong agricultural commodity coverage. Comparable to RMI Analytics in monetising impartial, multi-source pricing intelligence through subscriptions, conferences and consulting serving commodity supply chains.

Others

• International Grains Council (IGC): The International Grains Council is an intergovernmental organisation that publishes global grain market information, including barley supply/demand and price indicators. It is an adjacent, enabling data publisher in the same commodity intelligence space rather than a direct subscription competitor to RMI Analytics.
• EUROMALT: EUROMALT is the trade association representing the European malting industry. It produces industry statistics and market information on the malting sector that overlaps thematically with RMI Analytics' malt pricing intelligence, but operates as an industry body rather than a paid subscription intelligence provider.

Emerging players

• Mintel: Mintel is a global market research provider covering consumer goods including beverages and alcohol. While its primary focus is consumer rather than commodity intelligence, it competes for similar enterprise market intelligence budgets from brewing and beverage clients and is thematically adjacent to RMI Analytics' subscription research model.
