Global ethylene market will turn a corner

Industry insiders predict a significant rise in global ethylene demand by 2010, with new demand expected to reach 30 million tons annually. China's ethylene consumption is projected to grow by 50%, rising from the current 20 million tons per year. However, during the same period, the Middle East plans to increase its ethylene production capacity by 16 to 21 million tons annually, while China will add 12 million tons. This rapid expansion of supply is outpacing demand growth, leading to a drop in global ethylene plant operating rates from 95% to below 90%. As a result, manufacturers will face increased pressure on profitability, and the global ethylene market is expected to become highly competitive. By 2010, total global ethylene production capacity is expected to reach 155 million tons, with 39.5 million tons of new capacity added. Approximately 83% of this new capacity will be located in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions. The Middle East’s ethylene capacity is expected to hit 27 million tons, up from 11 million in 2005, making it the third-largest petrochemical hub globally, surpassing Western Europe. Currently, the region faces overproduction of products like ethylene glycol, polyethylene, and polypropylene, forcing large-scale exports. Although the Middle East will remain the fastest-growing region for ethylene, some industry experts believe Latin America could emerge as a major player in the global petrochemical sector. Nexant predicts that the ethylene industry will reach its lowest point in terms of overcapacity between 2011 and 2012, with additional capacity coming online in both the Middle East, China, and Latin America. In recent years, Latin America has seen political stability and population growth, driving strong demand for petrochemicals. To address supply shortages, several companies are planning large-scale petrochemical projects, particularly in Brazil. Brazil is home to four major petrochemical companies: Petrobras, Braskem, Suzano, and UNIPAR, with operations concentrated in Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rio Grande do Sul. From 2007 to 2010, investment in Brazil’s petrochemical sector is expected to jump by 220% compared to the 2003–2006 period, with most funds directed toward the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Industrial Park. Petrobras, for instance, plans to invest $8.5 billion in an ultra-large ethylene integration project in Rio de Janeiro to address raw material shortages. Brazil’s current ethylene production capacity stands at 3.4 million tons annually, but it is expected to rise by 45% by 2010. In other developments, Venezuela plans to build a 1.2 million-ton-per-year ethylene plant in José, while Trinidad and Tobago aims to construct an ethylene facility using natural gas as feedstock. More natural gas-based projects, such as methanol and synthetic ammonia plants, are shifting from the U.S. to Trinidad and Tobago, which benefits from low-cost resources. This trend is likely to reshape the global petrochemical landscape in the coming years.
