摘要

PETROCHEMICALS PRODUCTION IN the GCC rose by 4.5 per cent in 2014, making it the second highest growth region in the world, according to the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association's (GPCA) Annual Report 2014. Regional growth in chemicals production is largely attributed to a surge in plastic production, which grew by 6 per cent in 2014, nearly twice the worldwide average. Meanwhile, global production of chemicals rose by 2.8 per cent last year, a similar figure to 2013.
