"Where is the silver lining with impending over-capacity?" The phenol/acetone market worldwide has been impacted by weak demand globally. Asia, the major importer is almost self-sufficient! Where is the silver lining in this gloomy market? Last quarter of 2014 saw several phenol/acetone plants start-up, including that of shanghai Sinopec Mitsui, CEPSA Quimica and Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corp, increasing China’s domestic phenol capacity by almost 50% to 2.53 million ton/year. With falling oil prices and Benzene/propylene tumbling alongside, how will it affect phenol production and market trend? Lower prices are also changing the buying pattern of downstream producers, including BPA, PC, Epoxy, Phenolic resin, MMA, IPA & etc Which are the derivatives sector that are offering a bright spot for the phenol capacities in the region? Is China’s downstream market still healthy? Otherwise, where are the other region to look out for?
