Format: PDF | Pages: 274 | Report ID: MRS1173


Report Description

The global Petrochemical market size is estimated at USD 680.4 billion in 2021, expanding at a CAGR 8.06% from 2022-2028 to reach USD 888.3 billion USD in 2028.

Market Dynamics

A significant driver driving the market is an increase in supply for intermediary goods from different end-use sectors such as pharmaceuticals, construction, and automotive. Petrochemicals are an essential component of many manufacturing applications, and hence constitute the foundation of an industrial economy. Tires, industrial oil, cleansers, and plastic are just a few examples of petrochemical goods. The product's basic plastic is used as a core component in the production of consumer products.

Crude oil prices have a substantial impact on the sector since it is a key raw material utilized in product manufacture. The price and availability of crude oil have had an impact on the cost of producing petrochemicals, making their manufacturing process more expensive. Consumer preferences for environmentally friendly goods are expanding in both developed and emerging countries, and raw material costs for petrochemicals are variable, limiting industry expansion in the years ahead.

Many businesses throughout the world are concerned about the short- and long-term environmental consequences of producing and utilizing plastic products. Alternative materials are being investigated. As a result, demand for plastics has decreased significantly in recent years. The 2020 downturn just made matters worse.

Regional Insights

In 2021, Asia Pacific led the market, accounting for approximately 50.0% of total volume. The booming chemicals sector and rising polymer consumption are expected to be the primary drivers of market expansion in this area. To meet increased demand for the product, companies and local are transitioning to liquefied natural gas and other non-oil renewable sources, as well as planning cost-effective ways to enhance sales.

The market in North America is predicted to rise as unconventional shale exploration operations increase in the United States and Canada. The increased shale gas output in these nations opens up the possibility of using shale gas instead of traditional feedstocks to produce a variety of petrochemicals. Over the projection period, major capacity additions in the United States and Canada are likely to drive market growth in the Region.

Segment Dynamics

In 2021, ethylene led the market, accounting for over 40.0% of total sales. This is due to a growth in ethylene demand from a variety of industries, including packaging, building, and transportation. Over the projected period, ongoing industrialization and thriving automotive and packaging sectors in emerging nations such as Brazil, India, Thailand, and Vietnam are likely to drive ethylene consumption. The increased usage of High-density Polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene, and Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) is predicted to boost the petrochemicals industry.

In terms of sales, butadiene was the second-largest commodity sector in 2021. It is primarily used as a chemical intermediary and monomer in the manufacture of polymers such as polybutadiene rubber (PBR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NR), andpolychloroprene rubber (PBR). Due to the obvious thriving end-use sectors such as consumer products, automobiles, and construction, propylene compounds have seen a major growth in demand, particularly in India, China, and other Asian nations.

Competitive Insights

The market for Petrochemical is very competitive, with both domestic and foreign players involved. To stay competitive, large corporations engage in strategic mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, and new product launches. DowDuPont is a significant American petrochemicals business with a global presence. It has managed to stay afloat and profitable by investing heavily in R&D to create a sustained competitive edge. This has enabled it to become an industry leader in a variety of ways, including the development of several newer goods that are more environmentally friendly and have more inventive and valuable uses. It can also be used to justify charging more for these new items.
