added or transformed –
Higher Cost units are closing down
Demand Recovery limited
to fast-growth centers, most
others see little or no increase

• The Chemical Industry is a key
enabler of modern living: Medical,
Transportation, Construction,
Packaging, Food Processing, Water
Distribution, Fuel, etc…
• Investments driven by cost
advantage and/or proximity to
demand centers
• Demand growth accelerating in
the developing regions
• Strategy development requires

Tomorrow’s Energy Market Creates Opportunities
& Threats for Global Chemicals
•Opportunities
−Backward & forward
integration for those with
scale & capital
−Reversal of off-shoring,
especially for certain high-
value or logistically
challenged sectors
−Investment in infrastructure
to support growing inter-
regional shipments

Tomorrow’s Energy Market Creates Opportunities
& Threats for Global Chemicals
•Threats
−High-cost supply
rationalization
−Commoditization of
specialty product grades
−Market entry by new and
competitive players
−Large regional variations
in both supply and
demand growth

clear: do not ignore the
absolute size of U.S. and

rapid growth you need to
look to the emerging world

Propylene supply will continue to require
“on-purpose” to meet demand growth
Propylene
• On-Purpose production
will continue to rise
− Technology related to region
and feedstock
• Steam cracker and FCC
supply trends also vary by
region
• Demand growth trending
towards ethylene (GDP)
due to higher price relative
to ethylene

Conclusions:
• Improving economic
fundamentals are expected to
enhance pace of demand
growth prospects
• Economic Megatrends shift
demand to developing world at
an ever-increasing pace
• Unconventional feedstocks
play a larger role in shaping
the global industry
• High-cost supply reacts to
more competitive pressure by
stepping up rationalization
Which challenges and trends deliver success?
© 2013, IHS Inc. No portion of this presentation may be reproduced, reused, or otherwise distributed in any form without prior written consent.
• Supply & demand dislocation
increases need for sound
supply-chain strategies
• New competitors slowly emerge
as markets expand west in
China in distinct products
• Unconventional resource
owners enter the stage for
certain product offerings
• Level of success defined by
right cost for the right product
for the right market strategies
