The slackening Eurozone recovery threatens to limit growth in the Asia petrochemical and downstream markets. Besides, the projections for a slowdown in India and China coupled with the complexities of leveraging alternate feedstocks pose serious concerns for Asia petrochemical producers.  

With increasing focus on the US and its shale gas driven petrochemical projects the impact on M.E and Asia petrochemical markets is bound to be felt in diverse ways. How is ME responding to the decline of US dependence on ME feed stocks imports and how is Asia planning to respond to shale gas driven exports?

Will Sinopec’s gas-based petrochemical complex using natural gas and LPG as feedstock emerge as a model for other countries? Besides, China’s continued investment in Coal to Olefins projects seems to offer an avenue for sourcing competitive feedstocks for Asia's producers to secure cheaper petrochemical costs.

How are Asia petrochemical producers strategizing to meet feedstocks and market challenges? Will US exports of petrochemical products to Asia dent the historical competitiveness of Asia? What are the unfolding technological and feedstocks challenges that Asia's players will need to tackle through next two years?

Japanese petrochemical market has been on a slow growth and is most likely to follow the trend of last few years. Middle East, on the other hand, continues to explore diverse models from downstream integration to investing overseas for downstream expansions.
