Markets Review After the Economic Melt Down
Governments around the world have gone a long way to help stimulate economies through fiscal spending. Demand has picked up considerably and many economies are now officially out of the recession. How will the economy fare next as fresh concerns like asset bubbles and volatile foreign currency arise that may threaten to derail the recovery?
The phenol/acetone industry has been through some tough times particularly in the crisis when margins suffered and demand also tanked.
As market sentiment improve,it will be important to review market dynamics of the phenol/acetone industry. Reviewing the market in USA will give players an insight on how the market is since the credit crunch. Analysing markets in Asia will also help players understand trade flows and how new projects announced in the Middle East & China may have changed the whole equation. (Chemaweyaat's Tacaamol facility will be one of the world's largest integrated petrochemicals complexes when it is completed in 2014, that also includes phenol and polycarbonate production, Source: MEED, Sept 2009) & China (Ineos phenol confirms Chinese government authorities re-approve investment plans for a 400 kte facility, Source: Chemweek, Sept 2009).
In early part of 2009, phenol demand were at depressed levels, excess acetone was not an issue. Now with the market picking up for phenol, managing acetone supply will once again be an important consideration. Recycling acetone maybe a solution and how are players managing this strategy?
As lifestyle choices and government legislation continue to influence demand for polycarbonate, what is the growth prospect for polycarbonate? Are there any new applications that may rejuvenate the sector or growth will remain limited?
Demand for phenol derivatives eg. MMA, Phenolic resins & epoxy resins are closely tied to consumer demand. How have stimulus spending by governments helped to influence demand for these derivatives?
