Transition into Oversupply Scenario - Strategizing for the Expected Downturn

The Asian Pacific petrochemical industry is expected to slide into a downturn in the 4th quarter or earlier. Impacted by huge capacities looming from Mideast , high energy costs and the US recession, how can producers in Asia strategise and position themselves well to prepare for the challenging times ahead ?

Volatile high energy prices continue to hurt the margins and producers have to seek options to manage these costs. Is alternative feedstock the answer to manage costs? Also more and more majors are integrating to ensure their competitiveness. What is the economics of this strategy ?

Environmental concerns are also increasing.  Legislation in countries like China, Australia have banned the usage of plastic bags. As the ‘Green Movement’ surges ahead, how will it further shape the polyolefins industry ?
