Highlights

2019 saw both difficulties and opportunities in China’s benzene market. The large-scale units at Hengli Petrochemical were put into operation successively, and the inventory at East China ports hit a historical high. Moreover, following the explosion accident in Xiangshui, Jiangsu, the environmental protection and safety production inspection weakened the end demand heavily. In such a climate, the benzene price remained at a low level in Q1 despite many times of tentative rebounds. In Q2, with American downstream units completing overhauls, the arbitrage window between Asia and the U.S. was opened. China’s benzene import volume broke new lows repeatedly, and the operating rate at toluene disproportionation units was cut due to slipped profits. Thus, the benzene price kept rising in Q2, and the industrial profit also improved. For coal-based benzene, supported by the cost decline and strong byproduct market, its profit increased by 20% Y-O-Y at the end of Q2. For oil-based benzene, the profit turned to be positive. In Q3, the arbitrage window was opened in both the oil-based benzene and coal-based benzene markets. Under the background of refining and chemical integration, whether Zhejiang Petrochemical will go into operation as scheduled, and how the supply-demand pattern will change are worth of attention.
