Chemical Industry Data: Sources for Production & Prices

[MisterX]

I am curious about production amounts and prices for an annual period, for a few thousand commodity or common chemicals. I noticed a couple chemical intelligence services but they seem out of the price range for an amateur researcher. What kinds of sources are available to look further?

Statista has a lot of data available for free. I don't know if you'll find what you want, but it is worth a look.

There are probably a decent number of government websites that maintain information like this, if you have the patience to go digging through their arcana. One promising example from the EPA:

Also potentially useful from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
