CMT's 7th Asia Aromatics & Derivatives Markets conference gathers the leading regional industry players to address pertinent issues of the aromatics value chain, including BTX, PX, PTA, Cyclohexane, Nylon, Styrene, PET and PU.

 

Production of BTX and downstream derivatives continue to thrive in Asia, with Jurong Aromatics inking its financing commitment in mid April. Meanwhile in China, BP and other Chinese majors (Sinopec & CNOOC) have also announced expansion plans and new capacity.

 

Last year's cotton supply crisis and the recent March 11 earthquake in Japan have affected the market dynamics of BTX and derivatives, escalating prices of PX & PTA. Future prices for cotton is expected to fall, due to expected rise in acreage. Demand for polyester and its raw materials will be slowing down, thus exerting downward pressure on prices.

 

However, with optimistic outlook for China's EPS market, Styrenics markets is expected to enjoy bullish growth and upstream developments. With the volatility of Naphtha prices and the global pressure on emission cut-down, major petrochemicals producers are looking into commercializing biobased feedstock for their production. What potential and timeline can we expect from this to take-off?

 

Attend CMT's 7th Asia Aromatics & Derivatives Markets to gain multiple benefits:

  • Insights on how regional economies will evolve especially in the aftermath of the March 11 disaster in Japan and China's inflationary pressures
  • Learn from majors in Asia on marketing strategy for PX/PTA ahead
  • Tune-in to the panel discussion with aromatics producers and experts on measures to stay competitive amidst rising PX production
  • Stay updated on future projects developments in China and Kuwait
  • Forecast how geopolitics and naphtha (feedstock) prices will impact BTX production
  • Gain perspective from Kuwait Paraxylene on their competitive advantage in current markets dynamics
  • Assess the growth in Benzene - Cyclohexane value chain
