Global Ethylene Demand to Grow 3.3% Annually - Report

摘要

Ethylene production from export-oriented steam crackers associated with advantaged natural gas-based feedstocks is set to alter the global ethylene markets, recent analysis from energy research firm Wood Mackenzie (WoodMac) shows. “The key competitive differentiator for ethylene producers is access to low cost feedstocks or proximity to local demand. Through 2030, advantaged cracker investments will continue in the Middle East, sharply increase in North America, and then later develop in Russia and the Caspian,” Stephen Zinger, head of Americas chemical research at Wood Mackenzie, stated in a March 20 announcement about the new report.
