Highlights
In 2019, China’s overall propane and butane prices hovered at highs at first and then went down. Entering into summer, it was tough for the propane and butane prices to rebound, but most market participants adopted bullish attitudes to the propane and butane markets in autumn and winter. Meanwhile, the international crude oil prices fluctuated frequently, and the propane and butane CP went down. Accordingly, both the market sentiment and the import cost gave thinner support to China’s propane and butane markets in 2019. Although the Sino-U.S. trade war became severer, China’s traders showed stronger interest in purchasing propane and butane resources from the Middle East. Therefore, the Sino-U.S. trade war exerted limited impacts on China’s propane and butane import volume. Besides, the phase II PDH unit at Zhejiang Satellite Petrochemical was put into operation, creating a new start for the propane downstream deep-processing industry.
In 2019, the supply-demand fundamentals exerted greater impacts on China’s propane and butane prices. In China, the demand for propane and butane from the civil-use gas market was relatively stable, and there was new demand in the deep-processing market. With the increment in the import volume, will the supply pattern of China’s propane and butane markets encounter new changes? In 2019, the ethylene project construction at Wanhua Chemical Group continues, will it bring new development opportunity for China’s propane market? Moreover, the profits of n-butane based MA units perform well, will the profits of iso-butane dehydrogenation units become positive? Given these doubts, 2019-2020 China Propane and Butane Market Annual Report presents the industrial pattern change and forecasts the industry development via detailed data analysis.
This report will provide market participants with a unique perspective on how to gain insight into the fierce fluctuations in China’s propane and butane market and adjust business strategies in time according to market demand. Besides, this report will provide accurate market intelligence information and scientific decision-making basis for strategic investors and corporate leadership on how to choose appropriate investment opportunities and make strategic planning respectively.
Report value:
1 To make market participants directly understand the supply pattern of propane and butane via presenting the output, import volume and export volume of propane and butane.
2 To make market participants directly understand the demand pattern of propane and butane via presenting the output and profit analysis of propane and butane downstream deep-processing industries.
3 To forecast future propane and butane prices via analyzing the future supply, development of deep-processing industries and other influencing factors.
