Annual Fee - Related Services - View Table of Contents - Submit Order - About CMAI's Consultants


The World Propylene Supply Study provides a comprehensive source of information for the supply and availability of propylene with respect to current and future production sources, costs, technologies and trends. Complementing CMAI's World Light Olefins Analysis, the World Propylene Supply Study presents detailed propylene supply data and statistics through the study period of 2015 as well as commentary by CMAI's market analysis experts.

Key questions addressed in the study include the following:

  • What are the propylene sourcing options? What are the technologies? How economical are the processes? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

  • What will be the price of propylene over the next 15 years? What will be the key drivers in propylene pricing?

  • The West Europe and Asia regions continue to exhibit structural shortages in availability of propylene monomer. How will future propylene be sourced in these two regions? Are imports a viable option? What will be the most cost-effective option?

  • The Americas region appears to have excess propylene, particularly with the amount of underutilized propylene available from numerous refinery FCC units in the U.S. What existing refineries participate today in sales to petrochemicals and what companies are expected to participate in the future? Can alternative technologies be justified in the Americas?

  • The Middle East region has become a powerful competitor in the ethylene and ethylene derivatives industry due to cost advantaged feedstocks and economies of scale. How is the Middle East developing a propylene and propylene derivatives industry? Will the Middle East propylene industry be competitive on a world-wide basis?
