Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "US Polyethylene Export Report 2016-2020" report to their offering.
The increased production of U.S. ethylene and the associated investment in new U.S. polyethylene capacity will increase North American polyethylene production to over 54 billion pounds per year by 2020, up from 44 billion pounds as of the end of 2014. This increase assumes 75% of the announced polyethylene projects are actually built and commissioned by 2020.
In addition, industry sources cite the potential addition of another 2 billion pounds of capacity over this time frame. The significant U.S. ethylene supply and U.S. ethylene feedstock cost advantages will increase U.S. polyethylene production beyond domestic demand and support export volumes over the period.
