CTRM Vendor Perceptions 2018
A ComTechAdvisory Report
It should be noted, that many of the respondents indicat-
ed that their company did span multiple industry classes
and the many of the companies identified as traders and

were not considered in questions relating to software sys-
tems in current use, commodities traded, or satisfaction
with current software solution in use.

are all traded by around 5-20% of the respondents and

ly, when comparing the primary commodities traded by
our respondent group, they once again correlate very well
with estimated share of the commodity classes noted in
Commodity Technology Advisory’s most recent CTRM
Market Sizing Report.
