Global olefin and polyolefin trade has been on a major upswing raising concerns about sustaining growth. The key issue today in polyolefin markets is how long will the up-cycle prolong? Will the industry continue to ride the wave?  Major polyolefin consumers such as China and India have booming growth in derivatives.  Will this growth sustain?

Today, we have EPC companies driving the pace with a slew of projects across Asia and Middle East. The status of many of these fast track projects are still uncertain though there are strong indications of many of them coming on stream.

What will be the impact of these Middle East projects slated to come up by 2008-09 on Asian markets. To what extent will these projects go downstream? How will these downstream products impact global trade?

Given that these downstream projects will be fuelled by local feedstock the likelihood of massive feedstock cut downs for Asia is certain. How is the Asian polyolefin industry gearing to meet this challenge? Where will this leave the Asian polyolefins downstream producer who will compete with the Middle East exporters?

In 2007, the rising crude oil prices gave additional boost to North East Asian ethylene suppliers and traders held on to high offers due to limited supply from several plants shutdown.  Will this trend continue?

New olefin technologies and in particular, the propylene technology choices have opened up new feedstock options. How is the industry planning to capitalize on this?

Profit models in polyolefins Supply Chain Management have been tested in recent times due to high cost over runs calling for new business models.  How is the industry coping with competitive deliveries? Is polyolefins futures trading here to stay and how do they work?
