Type
not stated
Format
Tabular — member-gated time series shown as graphs and monthly averages in the browser, exported as CSV for the most recent three months, pushed as email quote alerts (exchange, FX and domestic benchmark prices), with trade-statistics report add-ons; history beyond the recent CSV window is supplied only through a separately negotiated data sale
Volume
~350 distinct price series as of January 2024 (vendor-stated 400-plus in the current corporate deck) plus 65,000-70,000 published articles with 600-plus added monthly, plus trade-statistics reports and quarterly research on tungsten, cobalt, lithium and battery recycling; the price library is the licensable core — at roughly 20 trading observations per series per month across 350 series, that is on the order of 84,000 price observations per month and several million points across a 30-year library.
Users
Small professional membership base — est. a few hundred to low thousands of corporate seats (inferred from annual pricing of JPY 100,000 for the English edition and JPY 300,000 for the Global edition, corporate multi-account and two-year discounts, and a paying readership of steelmakers, refiners, automakers, electronics firms, distributors and recyclers rather than a mass market)
History
30 years
Update frequency
not stated
Growth
Active — content published through August 2026, price series last updated September 2026, 600-plus new articles monthly, an expanding office footprint with the Tokyo headquarters relocated in early 2026, ongoing overseas bureaus, and a steady cadence of company-hosted summits and symposia.
Launched
2011 — IRuniverse Corporation was established 1 July 2011 and its predecessor service operated as IRUniverse.net before a full migration to the MIRU.com platform in 2014, with the English-language site added from 2017
