3 GPCA ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Chairman’s foreword

It is my honor to present the 2019 GPCA Annual Report. In addition to reviewing our activities and achievements of the last 12 months, this report assesses the trends and developments which shaped the industry’s performance.

The year in review saw ongoing economic challenges for the chemical industry in the Arabian Gulf and worldwide. This maintained upon us the incentive to demonstrate agility and the ability to drive transformational change in the face of a market slowdown, which itself led to a dip in global chemical industry profits of a scale not seen since the financial crisis of 2009.

The impact of these trends upon our industry was profound. The moderation of global growth was compounded with rising capacity, oil price volatility and the reduction of margins across many product lines. No industry arm proved immune to the resultant slowdown with the commodity, speciality, agriculture and industrial gases sectors all being squeezed.

Yet, as ever, our industry proved itself to be resilient and resourceful in the face of every challenge. The Arabian Gulf region is home to some of the world’s strongest chemical brands and largest integrated refining and chemical complexes. It has maintained its exceptional standing on the global chemical markets stage and cemented its position as a leader in the production and export of chemicals worldwide.

Strategic long-term investments continued to be made both regionally and globally. The year witnessed a wave of newly-formed partnerships between Arabian Gulf players and multi-national heavyweights in areas of chemical production, feedstock supply and technological innovation.

The strength of the M&A market inside the industry was also maintained, reflecting a renewed drive by regional producers to consolidate their business positions, build critical mass, diversify their portfolios and heighten levels of access to feedstock and key markets including China, India and the United States.

Yousef Al-BenyanChairman, GPCA and Vice Chairman and CEO, SABIC

As the voice of the regional chemical industry, GPCA plays an indispensable role in driving progress and aiding regional producers to address today’s challenges, while planning to overcome those which lie ahead.

The association continues to accomplish this by continuing to provide a platform for collaboration, a forum for knowledge exchange and a framework within which strategic partnerships and investments can prosper. The collective goal-setting and future-shaping of the chemical industry is very much in our hands.

In the reporting period, we made excellent progress in priority areas that will help define our future.

Firstly, in driving government-industry collaboration. GPCA has worked hard to build closer and more effective relationships and to foster cross-regional dialogue on the adoption and implementation of world-class industry standards in the GCC. This year, we marked a decade of Responsible Care® in the region with a dedicated conference that reflected on our sustainability commitments and important advances in EHS&S performance and transparency.

The challenge of plastic waste was a core societal priority in 2019 amid rising expectations for businesses and institutions in all sectors to demonstrate their commitment to tackle this issue. The spotlight is intensifying on companies and investors alike to take action and present long-term solutions. This is non-negotiable and has become a central pillar of maintaining a licence to operate.

“In the reporting period, we made excellent progress in priority areas that will help define our future.”


GPCA stands proudly in the vanguard of driving industry collaboration to eliminate plastic waste. Our participation in global and regional efforts accelerated in 2019 with a range of activities that included the joining of the Coalition Circle with other value chain partners. Meanwhile, in the United Arab Emirates we co-signed a pledge with the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment to promote the development of a circular economy model.

GPCA members, including SABIC, were also among the founders of the ‘Alliance to End Plastic Waste,’ a new, not-for-profit organization representing 27 global companies that have committed to advancing solutions to reduce levels of mismanaged plastics waste in the environment.

GPCA’s Waste Free Environment (WFE) has grown rapidly since its inception in 2013, transforming from a local beach clean-up effort into a year-round global environmental movement that inspires tens of thousands of people.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 14 and GCC governments’ visions to address waste management, sustainability and natural resource preservation, WFE is optimally placed to spearhead the association’s environmental efforts during the years ahead.

The attraction and retention of the brightest talent is a shared priority for our industry and the key to long-term future success. It is in all members’ interests to actively promote our industry, our purpose and values if we are to connect with the next generation and benefit from the finest minds available.

Our commitments to innovation, good governance, sustainability and empowerment of upcoming talent were evident as we launched the inaugural student Innovation Competition, which recognized the ingenuity and talent of university students in the Arabian Gulf.

Elsewhere, Leaders of Tomorrow, our flagship talent development program, attracted a record number of participants from across the region in 2019. In a continually disrupted world, this initiative is helping to equip young people to manage the challenges, technologies and jobs that are yet to be imagined, invented or created. GPCA is committed to bridging the gaps between the worlds of commerce and academia and ensure a steady high quality talent flow into the regional chemical industry.

In 2020, the GPCA will continue to advocate for best-in-class industry standards founded upon mutual benefits and collaboration among all industry stakeholders. We will participate in regional and global efforts to increase the circularity of plastics, ensuring that this essential, high value material never ends up as waste. We shall continue also to strive to develop our human capital.

The path ahead will undoubtedly present new and unforeseen challenges, alongside those we are already working to overcome. We remain committed to enacting real change on issues that matter the most through fostering global and regional strategic cooperation with our partners to drive growth and continuous improvements in the industry’s performance.

“The attraction and retention of the brightest talent is a shared priority for our industry and the key to long-term future success.”


Message from the SecretaryGeneral

As we enter a new decade, I would like to take this opportunity

to congratulate you on your achievements over the last year. With

collaboration, we created bigger impact and 2019 was another

year of cooperation, strategic and effective partnerships for the

chemical industry in the Arabian Gulf. These achievements are a

cause for pause, reflection and appreciation of the excellent work

accomplished, and I would hereby like to take this opportunity to

draw your attention to some key highlights and priorities in 2019.

MEMBERSHIP

We are pleased to announce that this year we were joined by 43

new members. GPCA’s activities are an extension of its members’

dedication to the regional and global industry. It is with their

unwavering support that GPCA is able to continue its mission to

advocate the common interests of its members, share knowledge

and continue to grow its stature as a much needed platform to

cater to new industry needs, share best practices, tackle new

challenges, introduce innovative ideas and expand its role as an

industry thought leader. We are looking forward to 2020 which

we consider to be the year dedicated to our members under the

GPCA Member Care program which aims to encompass and

deliberately assess our members’ needs by elevating their voice

across the region and beyond.

NETWORKING

2019 ended with a big bang for GPCA. This was evident with

the success of the 14th Annual GPCA Forum, which was for the

first time organized in-house by the GPCA team and proved to

be the most successful edition of the forum we have hosted to

date, with more than 2,000 attendees from 576 companies in 50

countries; we had 60 speakers contribute their insight within a

total of 45 sessions. The success of the 14th edition of the Annual

GPCA Forum is testament to the dedication of our board, working

committees, GPCA secretariat, members and long-term partners.

Building on their success last year, the 14th Annual GPCA Forum

hosted a series of masterclasses which examined ‘The economic

impact assessment of the GCC chemical industry’; we also

looked at the ‘The future of work: Rethinking the workforce model

for high performing companies of tomorrow’, and discussed ‘The

crude-oil-to-chemicals (COTC) project and whether it’s a game

changer for the industry’.

With the successful completion of our six flagship events for

2019, we’ve seen our conferences grow bigger and better with

each year, as total number of delegates attending GPCA’s events

exceeded 4,000 attendees. This year we celebrated ten years

of excellence under our Responsible Care Conference, which

was held for the first time in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, a symbolic

location for our industry. 2019 marked the concerted efforts the

Responsible Care Committee has been placing to push forward

the sustainability agenda in the region.

We introduced in 2019 during the Research and Innovation

Summit in Bahrain, the Innovation Competition, which was

successfully received by GCC students, attracting a total of 20

high quality entries. The competition resulted with six finalists

and three proud winners. Next year we aim to continue with such

incentives which highlight talented students within the STEM

field and we also aim to launch the Leaders of Tomorrow alumni

program, so that the student attendees can truly feel part of a

cohort and see the value in being part of our growing industry.

Alongside our six conferences, we organized a series of technical

workshops, including a converters workshop organized during

the 10th GPCA PlastiCon in Bahrain, which highlighted ‘The

sustainability upsurge implications and opportunities for plastic

Dr. Abdulwahab Al-SadounSecretary General, GPCA


convertors’; a workshop on human capital entitled ‘Making the

workforce ready for the future’ and a series of masterclasses

at the 9th GPCA Fertilizer Convention in Oman. Earlier this

year we organized a workshop on ‘Implementing Industry

4.0 Transformations at Scale’ in partnership with McKinsey &

Company on 20 March in Muscat, Oman. Further, in Oman,

we hosted the 5th IP Awareness Workshop in October and held

another edition of the GPCA Product Stewardship Seminar on 6-7

November 2019.

ADVOCACY

The journey towards sustainability continues and this year under

the Responsible Care Committee, the Product Stewardship

taskforce achieved an important milestone by developing the

first regional Globally Harmonized System of Classification and

Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), originally a system created by the

United Nations (UN), to address the classification of chemicals by

type of hazard and harmonize hazard communication elements,

to be adopted in the GCC region. This standard will apply to all

substances and mixtures supplied, used and/or manufactured in

the GCC countries, except when other GCC legislation lays down

more specific rules on classification and labelling. In light of its

importance, GPCA organized a GHS roundtable hosted by the

Oman Oil and Orpic Group on 11 April 2019 in Muscat.

Our advocacy efforts in the region have been represented

through our regulators roundtable workshops aimed at bridging

the gap between the industry and the regulatory bodies. This

successful series has taken place in Riyadh, Kuwait, Oman and

Bahrain. In addition to a successful meeting in Muscat, the latest

edition took place on the 29 August in Bahrain where over 100

representatives participated to enrich the discussion on GPCA’s

initiatives, including GHS and the Agreement of Transportation

of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) with the support of the Gulf

Standardization Organisation (GSO).

Another key highlight in 2019 was the formation of Coalition

Circle (Coalition of Innovation in Recycling towards a Closed

Loop Economy), in which GPCA played a key role. The newly

formed coalition, comprised of government, NGOs, global and

local private companies, signed a pledge with the UAE Ministry of

Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) to develop a circular

economy model in the UAE.

Earlier in 2019 we spread awareness about the benefits of plastics

and responsible resource consumption at a community outreach

event in Dubai Festival City Mall, as part of the 7th edition of our

Waste Free Environment (WFE) campaign. The campaign was

held throughout the region in various other locations by GPCA

member companies with different activities designed to raise

awareness about plastics.

The GPCA Leaders of Tomorrow (LoT) program is considered as

the first official collective step to build local human capital in the

region. I am proud to announce that our LoT program completed

its 14th edition at the Annual GPCA Forum, an initiative which is

essential for our industry to maintain its position as a leader on

the world chemical stage for decades more to come. In 2019,

we had a total of 374 participating STEM students from the

GCC. The participating students had a chance to interact with

industry experts, hear from exceptional speakers, participate in

workshops and attend plants and R&D sites where they could see

themselves working in the future.

We hosted the 2nd edition of the GPCA Legacy Award “Al-

Rowad” (الرّواد) on the sidelines of the 14th Annual GPCA Forum

in December, which this year was bestowed upon H.E. Eng.

Abdulaziz Al-Zamil (1941-2019), former Minister of Industry and

Electricity, Saudi Arabia. This was a much-deserved honor for

H.E. Al-Zamil, who passed away in October 2019, and a tribute

to his lifetime achievements and outstanding contributions to

establishing a chemical and petrochemical industry in Saudi

Arabia and the Arabian Gulf.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

As we carry on our journey towards success, it is vital to highlight

our achievements in the research and development arena. This

year we released 16 publications under our thought leadership

program, including our annual ‘Pulse of the Chemical Industry’

report, which provides a regional overview of the industry’s

performance in numbers all the way from production capacity,

to sales revenue growth, employment figures and research

and development. GPCA continued to elevate its position as

an industry thought leader in 2019, with the release of the first

regional report on ethylene, titled ‘Ethylene: A Litmus Test

for the Chemical Industry’ which provides a comprehensive

overview of the ethylene market on a global and regional level,

highlighting the evolution of ethylene demand and production.

‘Beyond Petroleum: The Impact of the Chemical Industry on the

Arabian Gulf Economy’, is another vital report which we released

as an economic impact study of the GCC chemical industry.

Our publications are an available resource and benefit for our

members and can be downloaded on our website.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

As we look ahead, we have an optimistic outlook, one that reflects

our achievements throughout the years but also our aspirations

for even greater success into the future and a continued strive

towards excellence. Our three strategic pillars: networking,

thought leadership and advocacy will remain central to shaping

our priorities for 2020. We look forward to working with our long-

term stakeholders, strategic partners, board and new members in

order to advance our agenda through collaborative efforts which

will create the right impact for our industry in the regional and

global stage.

Growth prospects across much of the world are weak on the back of rising tensions, trade challenges and slower growth in several key industries. Global economic growth decelerated in 2019 to 2.4%, the lowest rate of expansion since the global financial crisis. This weakness affected both advanced and developing economies, leading to a decline in key economic indicators, especially global trade in goods and manufacturing activity. Alongside these developments, the market sentiment was fragile for most of 2019 and only improved towards the end of the year.

In the GCC, the situation was no different. Geopolitical constraints and slowing oil production impacted economic development in oil-exporting countries of the region. Among the GCC countries, GDP growth in 2019 was 0.8%, twice lower than the 2% growth in 2018. Nevertheless, the region’s growth is expected to pick up to 2% in 2020, supported by infrastructure investment and an improved regulatory environment and business climate.

Global markets in key industries from oil and gas to petrochemicals are in a cycle of surplus and slowing demand growth as a result of large capacity expansions. Industry experts and business leaders forecast that the current cycle will last for at least two years (2020-2021), coupled with additional challenges and uncertainty.

Threats and challenges

Geopolitical tensions and the US-China trade war, which escalated in 2018, continued to shape the world markets in 2019. In addition to this, rising conflict in the Middle East added intensity to the cyclical slow down. While the US and China reached a trade agreement at the end of 2019, demand growth for oil products, ethylene derivatives and other commodities has weakened. Many chemical value chains entered a period of downturn after years of growth. New capacity additions, mainly in the US and China, will further contribute to lower utilization rates, particularly in ethylene derivatives.

However, in this economic cycle, several new dynamics are emerging that could change the industry landscape. Among them is climate change and sustainability, which is at the forefront of government discussions. During the past year, we witnessed an increasing rate of government driven recycling targets and the

banning of single use plastics in various countries. Many of these measures stimulated chemical companies to adopt sustainability targets and integrate them into corporate strategies.

Another key issue impacting the industry is slowing world trade. As reported by the World Trade Organization (WTO), global trade is facing the strongest headwinds in 2019, which are expected to continue into 2020. Merchandise trade volume growth in 2019 fell to 2.6%, down from 3% growth in 2018. Several factors impacted trade growth during the past year, including new tariffs, volatility in financial markets and tight monetary conditions. For regions and sectors highly dependent on international trade, like the GCC chemical industry, these headwinds present a challenge.

Although GCC based chemical manufacturing has a competitive advantage in global markets, production capacity in the region has only increased by 1%.

Year in review: State of the GCC chemical industry


Chemical industry performance

As a result of these structural and cyclical factors, the global chemical industry demonstrated slower performance in 2019. Global chemical production growth slowed down to 1.2%, in line with global industrial production growth, which saw a 0.9% growth in 2019. Although GCC based chemical manufacturing has a competitive advantage in global markets, production capacity in the region has only increased by 1%. The region has not witnessed any new major projects coming on stream during the past year.

Global chemical sales in 2019 are expected to decline by as much as 10% and be roughly flat in 2020. This is supported by the ICIS IPEX index, which reported a sharp fall in average petrochemical prices in 2019. Average spot prices in a basket of 12 major commodities, including olefins, aromatics and polymers fell by 17% year on year, and even more in Asia, where prices fell by 19% in the same year. For the GCC chemical industry, which is highly dependent on exports of commodity chemicals and Asia’s demand for its revenues, we can estimate a decline of up to 15% in 2019 revenue.

Disruptive innovation

The impact of a depressed economic situation and volatility is evident and GCC chemical companies are placing greater focus on disruptive innovation, including crude-to-chemicals technology (COTC) and the development of the ‘Cracker of the Future’.

On a global level, large scale COTC became a reality in 2019, as several projects are about to start operations in China and Brunei. In the GCC, Saudi Aramco continued to develop its COTC project during 2019. It has signed a joint development and collaboration agreement with Axens and Technip to accelerate the development and commercialization of catalytic crude-to-chemicals (CC2C) technology. The capital required to develop COTC mega projects is beyond the reach of an average chemical player and only companies with financial resources like Saudi Aramco can bring them to life. Therefore, major oil companies in the GCC are well positioned to successfully execute these large-scale projects.

Portfolio reshuffling

As the chemical industry is going through another economic cycle, several chemical companies in the region continue to refine their portfolios. One of the most talked about topics of 2019 was Saudi Aramco’s plans to acquire the Saudi Government’s stake in Sabic. The acquisition is well on its way, with acquisition plans due to be completed by the first half of 2020. After this acquisition, Saudi Aramco will become the world’s top chemical player in terms of revenue and capacity. Companies also unveiled plans to spend USD 100 billion on downstream projects and acquisitions, mainly overseas.

Similarly, in Oman, the government has integrated state-owned oil companies and petrochemical companies. In 2019, a new entity, branded as OQ, was formed to integrate the operations of Oman Gas, Oman Oil Company, Orpic, Salalah Methanol, OOCEP, Oman Trading International, Oxea, Duqm Refinery and Petrochemicals Industries, and Salalah Liquified Petroleum Gas. In addition to this industry overhaul, the Omani government announced plans to invest over USD 28 billion in the next 10 years.

In the UAE, portfolio reshuffling touched the operations of ADNOC’s fertilizer segment. In 2019, ADNOC formed a JV with Dutch firm OCI to create one of the largest exporters of the product globally.

Going forward

While markets and chemical players stay vigilant and watchful over the next two years, the longer-term prospects for the industry remain positive and encouraging. Demand for primary chemicals is set to increase by 43% by 2030 and by 68% by 2050. Demand for high value chemicals will grow by around 75% by 2050, at the second fastest rate among primary chemicals. Nevertheless, together with this demand growth, the pace of transition towards a more sustainable and greener economy will accelerate. The market landscape may look quite different in the next decade as disruptive forces continue to emerge. Chemical companies must continue to build capabilities around new technologies, products and solutions within the circular economy concepts to maintain their positions in the long term.

All reviews were conducted against the 2018 Responsible Care Codes of Management Practices (CoMP). All seven codes were under scope, with 107 elements being discussed and reviewed during the two-day exercise by subject matter experts. The Peer Review Taskforce has planned six more reviews to be conducted in 2020.

As part of its ongoing Lessons Learnt and Best Practices program, GPCA shared 48 member companies’ lessons learnt with the Responsible Care community in the region. Launched in 2017, the program has proved particularly beneficial to GPCA member companies, providing a platform for knowledge sharing and lessons learnt. It has greatly enhanced transparency within the regional industry and helped further develop a culture of EHS&S excellence.

It also shed light on the technological evolution of a chemical company from a licensee to a licensor and how that impacts companies’ IP strategies at every stage.


Government-industry collaboration

GPCA’s advocacy efforts in the region in the area of standards and regulations are represented through our regulators roundtable workshops aimed at closing the gap and facilitating a dialogue between the chemical industry in the region and GCC regulatory bodies. Reaching out to over 325 regulators across the GCC, the outreach program has proved its effectiveness, building a platform for collaboration between both sectors.

Over the last two years, this successful roundtable series has taken place in Riyadh, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, with the upcoming 5th edition set to be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the 6 February 2020. A key feature of the roundtables is the engagement with the regulators on the joint development and implementation of two key programs – regulations for transportation and handling of dangerous goods by land (ADR) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification & Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

A roundtable entitled ‘Government and Chemical Industry Collaboration: Harmonized Chemical Management in GCC’ organized by GPCA and supported by OQ, took place on 11 April in Muscat, Oman, with the objective of establishing a forum of collaboration for GCC governments and the chemical industry that effectively addresses chemical management risks.

Some of the most prominent trends and issues for the chemical sector in 2020 will include weakening economic growth, not only in Europe and the US but also in large demand markets such as China; ongoing, and likely increasing, trade tensions, which are poised to create growing uncertainty, dampening growth, and impacting on long-established supply chains; and upcoming developments in the energy transition and sustainability agenda set to drive further regulatory uncertainty and consumer demand change. In continuation of the trends over the past nine to 10 years, the chemical industry’s performance will remain largely impacted by end-markets demand, feedstock price volatility, trade and regulatory barriers, as well as the global drive towards sustainability.

Closer to home, GCC chemical capacity is expected to increase by 33.6% in the next decade, reaching 231.8 million tons, driven by refining expansion and chemical integration. GCC overseas production capacity is also projected to expand by a CAGR of 7.6% reaching 38.7 million tons by 2027, with the bulk of growth set to take place in Asia. Innovative COTC technology developments are considered as the path forward to attractive growth in chemical production, leading to a yield increase of between 40-70%. Continued strong growth in petrochemical demand is expected in the coming years, as demand for chemicals will rise 70% over the next 15 years, driven by strong population increase and rise in the middle class.

As a commodity focused industry, GCC chemical producers will continue to contend with key external challenges such as changing industry competitiveness, rising self-sufficiency of China

and the US, challenging trade developments and the growing role of technology and innovation. To remain competitive, regional producers will need to make bold strategic moves into new products, technologies and geographies to continue to claim their global position. Drawing upon the lessons learned of the past decade, company executives will need to remain vigilant to the many risks and uncertainties lurking on the horizon into 2020, while standing ready to embrace new opportunities for profitable growth in an evolving market landscape. Building a diverse set of capabilities for the long-term future around the energy transition and the circular economy will be particularly important as will adopting financial discipline and prudent investment strategies. This will help stabilize performance and reassure the chemical markets in the near term, while providing a solid foundation for growth into the new decade.

As the voice of the regional chemical industry, GPCA will continue to spotlight issues which impact on the industry’s profitability and growth, as well as advocate for conducive regulations enacted through a pro-active dialogue with regional governments and key trading partners. We will continue to provide a knowledge hub for our regional chemical community through the development of world-class thought leadership reports and research and host a series of impactful industry events for global and regional chemical industry leaders to come together, network and discuss key industry topics. Furthermore, we look forward to engaging our value chain partners, members and key stakeholders to take part in shaping the association’s activities and help us drive renewed levels of collaboration in our public outreach and advocacy work.

The Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) represents the downstream hydrocarbon industry in the Arabian Gulf.

The industry makes up the second largest manufacturing sector in the region, producing over USD 108 billion worth of products a year.

The association supports the region’s petrochemical and chemical industry through advocacy, networking and thought leadership initiatives that help member companies to connect, to share and advance knowledge, to contribute to international dialogue, and to become prime influencers in shaping the future of the global petrochemicals industry.

Committed to providing a regional platform for stakeholders from across the industry, the GPCA manages six working committees - Plastics, Supply Chain, Fertilizers, International Trade, Research and Innovation, and Responsible Care - and organizes six world-class events each year. The association also publishes an annual report, regular newsletters and reports.
