IMR International's quarterly publication, The Quarterly Review of Food Hydrocolloids, addresses current market information needs that are not met by the large multi-client hydrocolloid surveys which IMR International also produces. In-depth reporting on individual product categories is included in special profile issues. (See table to left.)

The quarterly report covers all food hydrocolloids, including those that may not be fully approved in all the countries surveyed. A list of the tables of contents for previous issues is available to demonstrate the comprehensive nature of our market research.

Hydrocolloid prices and trends, as well as other topics, are discussed in each quarterly review. These regular topics cover pricing of each hydrocolloid as well as import/export information and current events. Other topics are special reports for a particular quarter. These include new announcements in the food industry, new product approvals, and technological developments in the food hydrocolloid application.

Timing and Price

The reports are published at the end of each quarter of the calendar year. All interviews and questionnaires used in the preparation of the survey are completed during the quarter preceding publication of the report. Subscribers are encouraged to contact IMR International with any specific requests shortly before publication. This allows IMR International to better serve the informational needs of our clients by providing customized and pertinent information. A single issue of the report is priced at US$1,950 and an annual subscription of four issues is offered at US$6,950 plus shipping and handling.
