Gain a deep understanding of China’s complex petrochemical industry

China has emerged as one of the largest consumers and importers of petrochemicals over the last decade. Demand for key petrochemicals such as polyethylene and polypropylene have doubled during this period driven largely by a drift in global manufacturing to the country.

China’s buying activity heavily influences global petrochemical markets. Analysing Chinese trends are key to forecasting demand and prices.

China is well placed to significantly enhance its share of the global petrochemical industry but there are also plenty of challenges. GDP growth is slowing and China’s position as exporter to the world is under threat as manufacturing costs are rapidly rising. Understanding the implications of these trends on petrochemical demand is crucial for market participants.

This comprehensive one-day programme is an essential guide for those analyzing and forecasting trends in the fast-growing Chinese olefins, polyolefins, and aromatics markets.
