## Overview and value chain

Markers: [EC: Bio-based/biofuel price, capacity & technology-intelligence dashboards | OECD: Bioeconomy policy & governance | Regulator: none dedicated]

Bioeconomy analytics dashboards is a B2B services category in which commercial market-intelligence vendors run subscription dashboards tracking bio-based chemical and biofuel prices, production capacity and technology-innovation signals for corporate buyers, sellers and investors. Lux Research runs an Agrifood and Health innovation-intelligence practice offering expert-validated assessments of markets, technologies and providers, helping industry leaders cut through hype in emerging bio-based and renewable-carbon segments. Fastmarkets provides biofuels forecasting and analysis covering price movements and supply-demand dynamics across global biofuel and feedstock markets, including a dedicated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) price-assessment service launched for the US market. nova-Institute, a German research institute, publishes market reports such as "Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers — Global Capacities, Production and Trends," projecting the global bio-based polymer market to grow 11% annually through 2030. BloombergNEF runs a Bioplastics Capacity Tracker alongside its broader New Energy Outlook scenario modeling for the low-carbon economy transition. SunSirs operates a Chinese commodity price-index platform covering bio-based materials alongside chemicals and industrial commodities. Argus Media runs a Bio-based and Circular Chemicals Workspace and a dedicated Argus Biofuels Analytics service providing mid-to-long-term forecasts across biodiesel, ethanol and renewable diesel/HVO markets.

The key directions of bioeconomy analytics dashboards are:
1. **Biofuel price forecasting dashboards:** subscription platforms tracking real-time and forecast prices for biofuels, feedstocks and SAF across global markets.
2. **Bio-based capacity tracking databases:** structured databases tracking global production capacity, plant-level data and market trends for bio-based polymers, chemicals and building blocks.
3. **Technology-innovation intelligence platforms:** expert-validated market and technology assessments helping corporate innovation teams evaluate emerging bio-based technologies and providers.
4. **Bio-based/circular-chemicals workspace tools:** integrated analytics workspaces combining price data, supply-chain visibility and market context for renewable-chemical procurement decisions.
