    Comprehensive global naphtha market analysis to inform trading, purchase/sale strategies and capacity investment decisions

    Oversupply of NA unconventional crude oil and natural gas has increased exports of most hydrocarbons and has impacted global oil and refined/petchem products prices. Slowdown in Asian demand and capital investments has resulted in large drop in prices of all the commodities and weaker international trade. In 2015, Light Naphtha oversupplied. But now most of the petrochemical feedstocks will be oversupplied in the mid-term, negatively impacting Naphtha prices. As the most important petrochemical feedstock and important gasoline blendstock, naphtha supply, demand and prices are impacting refining and petrochemical margins and strategic investments decisions in new assets.

    This analysis integrates deep IHS expertise in crude refining, condensate splitting, natural gas processing, aromatics, and olefins and helps you:

    • Understand the divergent trends in gasoline and petrochemical and diluent demand in different countries and regions
    • Understand the options for refineries to meet rapidly growing demand through yield changes and how crude quality is only part of the solution
    • Develop strategies to buy/sell naphtha based on changes in trade volumes of different naphtha qualities necessary to supply high-growth markets with available, if distant, supplies
    • Evaluate regional naphtha pricing dynamics for both light & heavy grades & how much different demand sectors will pay for naphtha
    • Develop feedstock diversification strategy by understanding how the alternative feedstocks such as coal, natural gas & NGLs impact naphtha
    • Inquiry privileges for discussions with IHS Naphtha experts

    IHS Chemical Expert Premasish Das Discusses Petrochemical Feedstock Trends

    Analysis Coverage

    Analysis Features:

    • Proprietary methodology estimates “true” naphtha balances accounting for estimated internal use
    • Utilizes integrated S&P Global refining and petrochemical analysis and databases
    • Reconciles separate light and heavy naphtha in supply, demand and trade data

    This analysis helps strategy, operation and planning managers from around the world:

    • How will the increasing unconventional oil & gas production change the global feedstocks market? Will NGLs continue to provide substantial supply growth or wane? How does tight oil help (or not) with long-term light and heavy supplies?
    • What is the outlook for petrochemical naphtha demand in face of evolving plastics sustainably policies?
    • Will the refining system be capable of providing needed naphtha supplies from traditional refinery streams or is on-purpose investment needed and in which markets is this expected to happen?
    • How will gasoline demand be affected by change in mobility and powertrains (e.g. more Electric Vehicles, ride sharing, autonomous vehicles)?
    • How to supply China’s petrochemical demand when fuels demand begins to decline?
    • What is driving the prices of light and heavy naphtha in different markets? How will they change over the forecast period?
