Salmon Aidan Lee is ICIS’ principal analyst for the polyester value chain. He is the pre-eminent market analyst in the global polyester industry, focusing on the synergy between virgin and recycled materials, from fibres and all grades of PET resins, to the raw materials segment.

While watching broadly the whole polyester chain, Salmon maintains a strong interest in Asian PTA and MEG markets, which he believes form the heart of the industry.

Since 2020, Salmon has extended his coverage into the recycled polyesters sphere, relating it to the global sustainability effort and its impact on the virgin polyester markets.
