• Expect 2013 to remain tight until
new capacity coming on line is
fully established.
• 2014 - 2017 forecast growth at
trend level of 6 to 7% (approx 2.5
million tonnes per annum).
• Capacity additions in excess of
demand growth from 2014
onwards.
• Supply based on several varying
sources of feed

Production Capacity Consumption
Net Trade Utilisation (RHS)
• Asian system running hard until the
end of 2013 when more capacity fully
on line.
• Most PX projects are major
investments ($1bn+) usually
associated with new or re-vamped
refineries - inevitably taking longer
than expected to completion
• The region will gradually import
increasing quantities from the Middle
East.
• Constraints on feedstocks supply
currently encouraging JV’s with
existing mixed xylenes suppliers thus
avoiding heavy investment in
reforming.

Production Capacity Consumption
Net Trade Utilisation (RHS)
• Chinese paraxylene consumption
continues to vastly outpace the ability
to produce.
• Trade gap will grow to over 7 million
tonnes in 2013.
• Three major projects scheduled in
2013 either linked to major refining
project completions, have other
significant feedstock supply
challenges or are deploying new
Chinese technology
• Trade gap filled by suppliers in South
Korea and the Middle East.
• It remains challenging for Chinese
private investors to fill the gap
between the state run refining industry
and a dynamic polyester chain.

Production Capacity Consumption
Net Trade Utilisation (RHS)
• SATORP JV in 2013 first new
paraxylene unit in the region for 4
years - also slightly delayed into Q3
• Four major investments scheduled
from 2016/17 by Saudi Arabia and
Qatar adding almost 4 million tonnes
of paraxylene capacity.
• Limited in-region demand growth with
only one PTA project forecast to be
completed by 2017.
• Strategy of new paraxylene units
aimed at the Asian deficit but capable
also of servicing Europe and South
America.

Production Capacity Consumption
Net Trade Utilisation (RHS)
• North America assumed not to add
any additional capacity through this
period although BP is expected to re-
start Decatur.
• Trade flow from South America
reverses from 2013 with the start up
of the PQS PTA plant.
• NA also assumed to export to Asia as
and when economics will support.

Production Capacity Consumption
Net Trade Utilisation (RHS)
• Modest consumption growth in 2013
but critically dependant on PTA
exports.
• Net trade peaks at around 0.4 million
tonnes by 2014 with assets running
relatively hard through the period.
• The region remains long on aromatics
feedstocks providing an incentive to
divert from a long gasoline market to a
short paraxylene market.

C8’s now have to be created. Existing MX pools have dried up.
Capex therefore much higher for new investment

Paraxylene Conclusions
• Polyester chain set to deliver strong long-term growth
• Long-term issues regarding availability of feedstocks for the polyester chain in
N Asia
• Opportunities exist to upgrade heavy naphtha and condensates to aromatics in
South Asia
• The emergence of US shale oil & gas not as positive for the US Aromatics
industry due to the impact on naphtha composition and reforming economics
• JV’s currently being established between Japanese mixed xylenes aligning with
new paraxylene capacity in South Korea, avoiding large capex and timing
delays to plug short-term gap
• Most new projects will need significant access to feedstock
(FRN/HVN/condensates)
• Investment options come with wide range of capex and risk
