あらすじ・解説
Petrochemical markets are likely to remain depressed while China and other countries continue to add significant capacity, unless big wave of closures and demand improvement help to achieve balance.
- Global capacity additions far outstrip demand growth
- China, Middle East, US likely to continue expansions
- China drove the petrochemical supercycle, but no longer
- China chemicals demand growth likely only 2-4%/year
- Prospect of global deflation
- Europe can focus on specialty chemicals, other niches
