What factors are driving petrochemical markets today?  Join this conversation between Victoria Meyer and industry-expert John Richardson of ICIS as they discuss the trends and influences on the Asian and global petrochemical markets.  Including:

  • Excess capacity due to overbuilt olefins and polyolefins assets
  • Global co-dependence on China for petrochemical consumption and demand growth
  • China's shift to "mature" growth of 1-3% p.a. from "fast growth" 6-8% p.a.
  • How leaders are handling economic and market challenges

Killer Quote: "2024 and beyond will be a roller coaster ride for the industry, with China's dominance in global demand dictating the trajectory. The key will be for companies to navigate this landscape, whether they are giant international players or small local companies.” –John Richardson
