GCC Sector Series 2013 Petrochemicals Getting Ready for the Next Wave or Running out of Gas? Research Highlights Examining the status of Petrochemicals sector in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, highlighting the growth drivers and investment opportunities

description

GCC petrochemicals companies are amongst the lowest cost manufacturers in the world owing to cheap feedstock and energy costs. Given their strategic location and development as a major transportation hub, GCC petrochemicals producers enjoy a huge competitive advantage over others. Over the next few years, GCC countries will strive hard to prove their dominance in the petrochemical sector in an effort to diversify their economies away from Oil & Gas revenues. Development of large scale petrochemical complexes will serve the dual purpose of diversification as well as employment generation. In this report we provide several metrics for GCC petrochemicals industry which includes historical trend and forecast of the GCC petrochemicals capacity, price movement of key petrochemical commodities, details of top ethylene producing countries and top global ethylene producers and value of GCC petrochemicals projects at different stages. The country profile sections for each GCC country apart from giving an overview of petrochemical industry also provides details of major petrochemical projects under execution for that country. The company profile section gives rich details of some major GCC petrochemicals companies in terms of stock performance, major shareholders, recent developments & updates, production capacities and important financial & risk metrics.
