Conclusions

Outlook for Asia Benzene and Styrene

Benzene supply expansion continues to be constrained by feedstock availability

and is increasingly becoming a co-product of paraxylene

International trade will become increasingly critical in balancing the global

benzene market

Limited slack in the global styrene system means that margins remain strong in

Asia until the new world-scale capacities shift the delicate balance of recent years

Styrene operating rates post-2020 will dip globally, but in different degrees

between regions
