Acrylonitrile: Future of an Industry in Flux

October 21, 2024 • OPIS TALKS: PETROCHEMICALS • Acrylonitrile, a key petrochemical, has seen downturns before; however, currently, the market is in a never-seen-before state. Margins remain depressed for all regions, leading producers to cut production rates to manage inventory. Even with a slow demand recovery, global capacity continues to rise—especially with China adding new plants. This caused capacity rationalization, restructuring, and shifts in global consumption and trade patterns. In this episode of OPIS Talks, Kevin Longworth, Zengwei Yin, and David Onyekpe delve into these issues, sharing key insights and challenges in the current markets. They'll also preview what to expect at the upcoming Global Acrylonitrile & C4s Forum, Nov. 14-15, in Singapore.
