In early 1995, Jacobs Consultancy, formerly Pace Consultants  issued its comprehensive look at coal tar and coal tar pitch in the report The Outlook for Coal Tar Pitch. The study, provided detailed discussions of the pertinent issues affecting coal tar pitch markets.

Following the widespread reception of that single-issue study, Jacobs Consultancy expanded its coverage of coal tar pitch into a continuing publication, Coal Tar Pitch Report. This subscription publication was initiated in response to the uncertainty facing the coal tar pitch market. In the reports, issued every Spring and Fall, Jacobs Consultancy addresses the questions and issues of:

• Industry Drivers
• Current Market Pricing and Trends
• Supply/Demand
• Transportation
• Primary Aluminum Demand
• Industry News Developments

The report provides ongoing evaluation and acts as a strategy tool for consumers of coal tar and coal tar pitch products.

In addition to updating the prices for coal tar and coal tar pitch in the major producing/consuming regions, Jacobs's Coal Tar Pitch Report discusses the developments in the related industries of aluminum and crude steel, and keeps our clients current on the key issues affecting pitch supply and demand.

Highlights from recent issues include:

• Steel and Metallurgical coke industry review.
• Detailed coal tar and coal tar pitch trade statistics from the key importing/exporting countries.
• Coal tar and coal tar pitch supply/demand highlights.
• World coal tar production by key region.
• Coal tar/LSFO pricing relationship.
• Pitch coke supply, demand, and trade.

In addition, Jacobs conducts single client studies on specific topics to assist management in developing strategies regarding coal tar and its associated products. Past projects have included an examination of the coal tar pitch production supplying North America and an analysis of the anode/electrode binder market in the United States.
