Global demand for two major ethylene derivatives—ethylene oxide (EO) and ethylene glycol (MEG)—has followed a strong, positive trajectory over the last decade. Rising world demand for polyester condensation precipitated a tremendous increase in the demand for MEG, a derivative of EO. MEG usage alone now accounts for a majority of the world's EO production. Global demand for EO rose not just because of increased demand for MEG but also due to the continued growth of the so-called "mature" EO derivatives, a trend bolstered by expanding product applications in the ethanolamines and surfactants markets. Indeed, growth in demand for EO over the past 10 years exceeded expectations of many market participants and analysts. EO now ranks second only to polyethylene in terms of ethylene consumption. Therefore, companies considering investments in new ethylene crackers or downstream derivatives must factor future EO and MEG demand into their strategic planning decisions.
IHS Chemical World EO/EG Analysis examines historical trends and near-term projections for supply, demand, production, capacity, trade, pricing and profitability of the global ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). This analysis provides insights from both top-down and bottom-up evaluations.
