2017-2018 China EO Market Annual Report

Highlights

China's ethylene oxide (EO) market experienced a lot in 2017: the EO prices went ups and downs violently in the first half of the year, and the supply extremely tightened at the start of the second half. The strong rebound of ethylene glycol price led to the great demand of the EO. Thus, all combined producers tended to produce EG on the obviously increasing profitability. How will you seize this opportunity?

With the new units in Jiangsu Sailboat put into production, and 200kt/a units in Maoming Petrochemical put into construction, what will be brought to China's EO market? New commercial opportunities or price war? Different kinds of economic components except PetroChina and Sinopec rapidly developed, especially private enterprises. In 2017, private enterprises took up 35% of the domestic EO output, which exceed that of Sinopec. The development of private enterprises limited the big ups and downs of the EO prices, and better balanced the EO and downstream market. In the future, the profits from producing EO will come into rationalization; the polycarboxylic acid water reducer will maintain as the important EO downstream products; the price and output of EG will be the major influencing factors on EO's price. All above factors are keys to development of EO market in the future.
