There is also a shift from export oriented petrochemical production to high value specialty chemicals...What will this signal for supply demand balance and profitability?

Olefin markets are largely upbeat, but players remain wary that the situation can change all too quickly when production problems pass and Middle East capacity finally comes on stream. With soaring expectations across the olefins markets, the bullish outlook has been aggravated by firming spot prices and frequent supply issues that continue to rule the thoughts of players. Will supply be consistent and able to meet the market?
9th MENA Olefins & Polyolefins (10-11 Oct 2011 in Dubai) aims to examine the situation and takes a peek at sustaining demand & competitive strategy for alternative feedstocks. With the backing of country and project updates attendees can anticipate an exclusive 1.5 days of intense knowledge-sharing sessions & networking opportunities with senior representatives from the olefins industry.

Petrochemical producers in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region should brace for competitive feedstock prices, which could affect the profitability of the industry at the end of 2011, the Deutsche Bank has warned.
The bank, in its latest Mena outlook for petrochemical industries, said that possible changes to the feedstock costs are imminent, especially for the major Saudi-based petrochemical companies, due to absence of re-stocking.
“Looking into 2011, while we expect emerging markets to continue to be the key drivers of growth, we expect industry growth to average at a rate around that of global GDP growth due to the absence of restocking, which provided material support to volume growth through 2010.”
Spurred by expected growth in the Mena petrochemical industry due to competitive feedstock pricing in the region, CMT is hosting its 9th MENA Olefins & Polyolefins to offer experts' views and objective analysis on feedstock crunch and impact on prices for 2011.
As with previous years, the conference on 10-11 Oct 2011 in Dubai promises a comprehensive program, providing perspectives from key petrochemical players on the impact of political upheavals in the region on petchem investment. Furnished with country & project updates, the summit zooms in on theme Sustaining demand & competitive strategy for alternative feedstocks
9th MENA Olefins & Polyolefins also presents latest in technology developments as well as market development & new applications to propel PP & PE growth.
