Market Overview
The petrochemicals industry is known for the production and trade of a remarkable range of consumer and industrial products. Petrochemicals are at the core of multiple industries, including packaging, textiles, cosmetics, toiletries, and electronics and are also crucial to the global energy grid. Petrochemicals are derived from fossil fuels, such as crude oil and natural gas. Coal and biomass are other notable sources of petrochemicals.
The primary classes of petrochemicals are:
- Olefins (ethylene, propylene, and butadiene)
- Aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes)
These form the basis of several useful products that include:
- Synthetic rubber
- Plastics
- Adhesives
- Detergents
- Tires
They also produce a group of chemicals called petrochemical intermediates, which are more complex versions of their primary counterparts. These derivatives are further used in the manufacturing of a variety of products. A typical example is ethylene glycol, which is used in polyester textile fibres and in a variety of applications in the oil and gas industry. The rising demand for petrochemicals and their common use in people’s lives has led to an increase in the need for cost-effective production facilities.
