Market Overview
Duration: Short-term – 2-year price forecast and market outlook
Amid an unprecedented crisis in the European petrochemical industry, the aromatics sector is at a decisive inflection point—requiring urgent strategic attention from companies operating in BTX and downstream derivatives such as styrene monomer, PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid), MDI (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate), and adipic acid. Since 2020, Europe has undergone significant capacity rationalization, with nearly 2 million metric tons of BTX value chain closures driven by persistently high production costs, particularly elevated European energy prices, and a surge of competitively priced imports across the global supply chain. These pressures continue to depress operating rates and push profitability for major producers to unsustainable levels.
With final decisions on protective trade measures, including potential anti-dumping duties (ADDs) on products such as adipic acid and PTA, still pending, companies must urgently reassess supply chain risks, regional cost competitiveness, and long-term manufacturing strategy within Europe. Strengthening resilience will be essential to maintaining viability in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
