Economics
Analysis is presented in three different reports prepared for
each key price setting region:
1. Quarterly Business Analysis
The Quarterly Business Analysis provides a key insight
into production economics for a broad range of commodity
petrochemicals. The analysis presents a review of costs, prices
and margins for typical production assets, providing a valuable
view of regional and value chain competitiveness.
A quarterly report provides insightful commentary to illustrate
current trends, related to recent market developments. The

The Profitability Forecast reports provide long-term profitability

shaping the industry, providing invaluable support

location, and process of all current production assets,
along with discussion regarding the status of new
projects and capacity under construction.

Supply, Demand and Trade: Provides historical

analysis and forecasts to 2030 of consumption,
production, imports/exports, inventory build-up/
decline, capacity and capacity utilization. The
analysis provides a key insight into the relative
strength of regional markets.
