This study provides a complete comprehensive analysis of the benzene industry and explains how major components of the aromatics market are affected by a broad range of subjects and factors ranging from plans for new capacity to the adoption of new technology developments. Key sections included in the 2003 World Benzene Analysis are:
-- Commentary on the outlook for emerging economies
-- Supply and demand developments in major industrial economies
-- Important producing and consuming countries in the world are grouped
into 10 significant geographical trading regions and are covered in
full detail.
-- Capacity tables by company for the world
In addition to the 2003 World Benzene Analysis there is a companion study, the 2003 World Cumene,
phenol, and Polycarbonate Analysis, which was done simultaneously to provide an extensive integrated view of cumene, phenol, and polycarbonate. Other companion studies include the 2003 World Styrene Analysis and the 2003 World
polystyrene Analysis that shows detailed country balances for styrene feed and demand forecasts.
