About this listen
With the prospect of global overcapacity easing from around 2030, Middle East petrochemical players are debating how to monetise their plentiful natural gas supplies.
- Middle East producers plan a major new capacity wave after 2030,
- Long‑term strategy centres on monetising hydrocarbons beyond 2030
- China’s overcapacity cycle may ease by around 2030,
- Debate about staying focused on simple, large‑volume commodity grades or moves into higher‑value or specialty polymers
- Climate‑driven demographic and economic pressures in the Global South could reshape demand
- Chinese competition in high‑value chemicals is intensifying
- Maintaining strong ties with China remains important today
- Massive crude oil‑to‑chemicals (COTC) ambitions are being moderated
- Partnerships and M&A are key tools for Middle East companies to secure technology, expand globally, and balance portfolios
