Commodities Intelligence Centre posts 26% increase in registered customers

Its e-trade platform’s cumulative gross merchandise volume also reached $17.6b.

Singapore-based physical commodities e-trade platform Commodities Intelligence Centre (CIC) has announced strong growth in FY2020 driven by the urgency for supply chains to digitalise during the pandemic.

The number of registered customers on the platform grew by 26% to reach 5,800 registered users in 2020.

The growth that CIC recorded on its e-trade platform despite the pandemic in 2020 has allowed it to accumulate a cumulative gross merchandise volume of $17.6b on the platform, an increase of over 30% from 2019.

“By making our platform and technologies affordable and easy to use, SMEs are able to easily onboard the platform and make use of these digital tools to grow their businesses. With global disruptions such as COVID-19 and the recent Suez Canal incident, we want to help SMEs build more sustainable and resilient businesses that can endure these challenging times as they grow and expand in Asia and to achieve greater trading synergies globally,” CIC CEO Peter Yu said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
