The global olefins industry is currently experiencing a unique period of consolidated growth characterized by a schedule of swift regional capacity expansion, volatile feedstock prices and the increased use of private finance and end use consumption. What can the market expect from such squeezes? Will the impact of new expansion prospects be felt (or filter through) more in downstream markets. What is the likely after affects to this filter? Platts Olefins Market Dynamic conference and forum will bring together leading stakeholders to assess current trends whilst examining how emergent projects and market fluctuations are likely to increase in scale, speed and intensity. How can producers and consumers exploit advantages in an industry that is increasingly subject to focused capacity developments, regulation and changes in proximity to the market? Will margins remain sustaining or can we expect absolute shifts in export as derivative supplies, capacity and integration becomes scarcer in Western Europe and the United States?
