Petrochemicals are chemical compounds derived from hydrocarbons, mainly crude oil and natural gas. They can also be obtained from various renewable materials such as sugarcane and corn. Petrochemicals are classified on the basis of their chemical structure, namely, olefins, aromatics, and synthesis gas hydrocarbon. Olefin hydrocarbons include ethylene and propylene, while benzene, toluene and xylene belong to the category of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Various process such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), steam cracking, and catalytic reforming employed in refineries and chemicals plants to obtain the desired product. Petroleum products form an integral aspect of daily life and find major demand across various end-use industries. Moreover, petrochemicals products find application in various everyday use products such as clothes, houses, automobiles, tooth brush, furniture, irrigation, household items, synthetic detergents, packaging, electronics, performance products, and medical equipment.
Top Key Players in Petrochemicals market: BASF, SE, Sinopec, Limited, ExxonMobil, The, Dow, Chemical, Company, Shell, Chemical, Company, SABIC, LyondellBasell, Industries, Total, S.A., Sumitomo, Chemical, Co., Ltd., Chevron, Phillips, Chemical, Company, LLC, and, E., I., du, Pont, de, Nemours, and, SNPC, INEOS, and, Reliance, Industries.
Regional Analysis For Petrochemicals Market:
Besides segmental breakdown, the report is highly structured into region wise study. The regional analysis comprehensively done by the researchers highlights key regions and their dominating countries accounting for substantial revenue share in the Petrochemicals market. The study helps understanding how the market will fare in the respective region, while also mentioning the emerging regions growing with a significant CAGR. The following are the regions covered in this report.
Large volume of feedstock or raw materials available within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and rapid development of shale gas exploration within the North American region, primarily within the U.S. and Canada, is predicted to make a highly conducive environment for growth of the worldwide petrochemicals market. China is one among the most important consumers of petrochemical products. Rampant growth of varied end-use industries is predicted to fuel demand for petroleum products, especially in emerging economies of Asia Pacific, like India and China. As per data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2017, total liquid fuel consumption in Asia Pacific reached 33.3 million barrels per day (bpd), with China accounting for 80% of the consumption within the region. Moreover, rapid advancement within the shale gas technology like the hydro fracturing technology is being explored within the U.S. and Canada to extract petroleum. These factors, in turn, are projected to supply high growth traction to the worldwide petrochemicals market.
Natural gas, coal, and crude are primary building blocks of petrochemicals industry. While currently the global crude oil production is at an all-time high, the market is subjected to high fluctuations in production and pricing. This volatility is a major challenge for players in the global petrochemicals market. The market is undergoing a trend of oversupply in feed stock due to large production volumes by the OPEC and Russia. This along with the economic crisis in 2009, has led to rapid decline in demand for crude oil in Europe and Japan. Consumer inclination towards green energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy, further inhibits market growth.
