Highlights

2023 was a memorable year for the cracking C5 industry. The expansion of cracking C5 capacity in China slowed down in 2023, compared with that in the past three years, but it was expected that the growth rate of capacity would exceed 5%. Moreover, more than 1,000kt/a of cracking C5 units are planned to go into operation in the next five years. Therefore, the cracking C5 industry will be flourishing. In terms of downstream demand, it was impacted by the slowed-down growth of many economies around the world. From January to August 2023, the price spread between cracking C5 and feedstock was RMB 797/mt, up nearly 400% Y-O-Y. In addition, the profit of the separation industry dropped significantly, hindering the transmission of the profit in the industry chain.

What is the logic of the cracking C5 price to remain high in 2023? With a capacity expansion and oversupply of downstream industries, what will happen to the cracking C5 industry chain and how will players make marketing strategies?
