Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global petrochemicals market was valued
at USD 472.06 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 791.05 billion by 2018, growing
at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of volume, the global petrochemicals

by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2012 to 2018.
Growing consumption from major end use industries including construction, packaging,
transportation, textile, plastics, healthcare and so on coupled with favorable operating
conditions mainly in the Middle East and Asia Pacific is expected to drive the global market
for petrochemicals over the next five years. Government initiatives in India and China to set
up petrochemical complexes in the region are also expected to fuel the market growth. The
rapid exploration and development of unconventional gases such as shale gas is also
expected to provide feedstock advantage to petrochemical producers. However, volatile raw

material prices and growing environmental concerns regarding the production and usage of
various petrochemicals are expected to be a key challenge for market participants.
Regulatory intervention has resulted in the industry shifting focus towards developing bio-
based alternatives for petrochemicals.
Ethylene dominated the petrochemical market and accounted for over 28% of the total
consumption in 2011. Growing demand for polyethylene, a major derivative of ethylene,
mainly from packaging industry is expected to boost the global market for ethylene over the
forecast period. However, widening supply- demand gap due to capacity addition in the
Middle East and Asia Pacific is expected to put pressure on ethylene prices, globally. In
terms of volume, methanol is expected to be fastest growing petrochemical at an estimated
CAGR of 10.3% from 2012 to 2018. The growth of methanol is largely driven by its
emerging application in gasoline blending and conversion of methanol to olefins (MTO).
China was the leading consumer of petrochemicals and accounted for over 25% of the
global consumption in 2011. Along with being the largest market, China is also expected to
be fastest growing market, at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2012 to 2018, owing its significant
downstream processing capacity. Asia Pacific including China accounted for over 45% of the
total demand in 2011. North American market for petrochemicals is expected to be driven
by rapid development of shale gas in the U.S.
The global market for petrochemicals is highly fragmented in nature. Top ten companies
accounted for just over 49% of the total petrochemicals market in 2011. BASF, Sinopec and
Exxon Mobil were the largest petrochemical manufacturers and together accounted for
nearly 20% of the total market share in 2011. Major industry participants have fully
integrated operations from extraction of crude oil and natural gas to production of
petrochemical derivatives. Some of the other players operating in the global petrochemical
market include Chevron Phillips, Dow Chemical, Company, Ineos, LyondellBasell, National
Petrochemical Co., PetroChina, SABIC, Shell Chemicals and Total among some other
companies.
