Our take
Even as more and more industries digitise, processes in legacy industries such as trade remain relatively archaic – with commodity markets running on incomplete, dispersed and sometimes inaccurate information. Kpler, founded in 2014, brings data technology to trade, in order to make the space more efficient and sustainable.
Kpler is the leader in its field, claiming ten times the revenue and commercial footprint of its nearest competitor. The company supplies real-time, transparent data on commodity markets, as well as actionable insights for those acting in the industry. Partnerships with leading data providers and analytics firms have bolstered Kpler’s offerings to cover a range of markets across the trading space, cementing its leadership as a provider of commodity market data.
Kpler has received massive funding for its continued expansion, received atop already impressive growth and between 2022 and 2023, acquired five companies. The investment is being used to make more smart acquisitions, of note within the growing maritime analytics and logistics market, hire talent, and accelerate development to ensure it remains at the forefront of its field.
