Propylene 2010 World Market Outlook and Forecast Been Recently Added by MarketPublishers.com

02 Mar 2010 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Propylene demand in Europe is set to decrease this year on 2009 year's level. A catastrophic Q4 2008 and Q1 2009 forced producers to idle capacities, although most plants are running by now. Supply tightened in May 2009 due to reduced operations, a move to lighter feedstocks and improved demand, driven by good export opportunities mainly to Asia for propylene and its derivatives.

Future world trade for propylene is changing significantly, with a buildup in on-purpose propylene, as well as polypropylene (PP) capacity, mostly targeted for the export market. Over the next 5 years the Middle East will move from a net importer to the largest net exporter of propylene, with Western Europe becoming a net importer.

The primary outlet for propylene is polypropylene, which accounts over 64% of global consumption. Other important derivatives are acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, cumene and acrylic acid.
