2023 has seen the global aromatics markets buffeted from all sides; upstream feedstock price and availability have been dominated by gasoline and octane markets, while the downstream chemical markets have suffered from high inflation that has destroyed consumer demand.

The outlook for 2024 and beyond will be determined by the next stage of development for both sectors, and this session covered the key aromatics feedstocks: pyrolysis gasoline and reformate.

Regional changes on the downstream and regulatory sides that could influence these key feedstocks’ availability over the next two years were considered.

The following were covered in this session:

• Will gasoline and octane continue to pull feedstocks away from chemical operators?
• How will regulation influence availability and flows to the gasoline markets?
• When is chemical demand going to return?
• How does energy transition influence the long-term markets?
