Chemical Conversations: South Korea BTX Rationalisation and Global Impact


Listen Later

South Korea’s petrochemical rationalisation programme marks one of the most significant structural shifts in Asia’s BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) markets. 

In discussion with Argus' Senior Aromatics Reporter Joonlei Lee, Santosh Navada examines the potential implications of South Korea’s rationalisation programme for global BTX trade flows.

  • What key factors are driving South Korea’s decision to implement a rationalisation programme.
  • How the rationalisation will affect South Korea’s petrochemical sector and the broader domestic economy.
  • What long-term strategic objectives the programme is designed to achieve.
  • How the Middle East conflict is influencing the timing, scope and urgency of the rationalisation programme.
  • Further details and additional insights are available from Argus Aromatics experts and Argus publications, including:
