The Feedstock outlook for
chemicals and plastic conversion
in the region of the Gulf
Community Countries GCC is
increasing and has a tremendous
potential impact in the
petrochemicals and polyolefins
business globally.
The global industry sales are USD $ 3.5 Trillion, this is FOUT TIMES the combined
GDP of GCC nations that employs 10 million directly and 50 million indirectly. IS
interesting that there are 60,000 European companies that employ 1.2 million

PlastiChem LatAm Consultants
business-as-usual scenario. However, by
2020 the region’s industry plans to reach
USD $ 200 bn to gain a rightful position
as a pillar in the industry. Several Middle
East companies such as Aramco, Sabic,
Borouge and Abu Dhabi National
Chemiclas Company are increasing on
investment and performance in polymers
and petrochemicals.
According to Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association, the polyethylene production
capacity in the Middle East will increase from 10.7 MMT in 2009 to 21.5 MMT by the year
2015, an increase of slightly more than 100 per cent. Similarly, the production capacity of
polypropylene will increase from 4.8 MMT in 2009 to 9.5 MMT by year 2015, an increase of
98 per cent. This will bring the combined production capacities of the two major polyolefin
resins to more than 31 MMT by the year 2015.
