POLYESTER FIBRE & PET RESIN SUMMARY

Polyester Fibre

• Polyester fibre market is still growing in China, but the speed of growth is not as fast as in the past

• Due to Chinese and global economic uncertainty, it is unclear when polyester fibre growth returns to historical patterns

• Large scale polyester fibre capacity expansions continue into 2013 despite current overcapacity

PET Packaging Resin

• PET resin consumption is still growing in China, but overcapacity becomes dominating market issue in 2013

• Korean & Taiwanese PET resin producers will be more under pressure to compete against massive new Chinese capacity in 2013

• Competition to supply the European market will be more severe

Page 19: Polyester & Intermediates Markets - CPMAIcpmaindia.com/pdf/apice2013_kim_hyunmin.pdf · Polyester & Intermediates Markets Hyun-Min, Kim Synthetic Fibres Raw Materials Committee Meeting

• PTA capacity is expanding faster than demand and margins have been eroded.

• China’s need for imported PTA is shrinking rapidly, impacting South Korean and Taiwanese export significantly. PTA exports from China will take more time as producers are focused on domestic market

• PX-linked formula for PTA are being implemented in Asia and Middle East, but in China it is hard changing from the PTA import spot benchmark

• The fundamentals of supply/demand continue to paramount in Chinese PTA markets, but PTA futures on the Zhengzhou commodity exchange have had an increasing influence on spot prices, introducing extreme volatility to the market

2012 Imports

Total:

~6,300 ktup 26% on 2011

How much extra PX needed for Chinese new PTA capacity (19,300 ktpa) in 2012-2013?

In theory ~12,900 ktpa, but PX projects only 3,600 ktpain China for 2013!

2012 Imports from

Korea:

~1,900 kt

up 52% on 2011

2012 Imports from

Japan:

~1,800 kt

up 50% on 2011

• Q1 2013, China PX import volume continued to be increased by 54.5%, year on year, to 2,254 ktons

Page 26: Polyester & Intermediates Markets - CPMAIcpmaindia.com/pdf/apice2013_kim_hyunmin.pdf · Polyester & Intermediates Markets Hyun-Min, Kim Synthetic Fibres Raw Materials Committee Meeting

• Rapid expansion of PTA capacity in China has begun to stretch available supplies of Paraxylene in Asia

• PX capacity addition as planned should be sufficient to match polyester growth rates but does not match planned new PTA capacity growth, PTA utilisation rates are likely to suffer

• Paraxylene margins should remain strong in 2013

• China PX imports likely to increase in volume terms

• New paraxylene capacity is expected mainly in Asia and Middle East for the near future

• Ethylene capacity in the USA will be expanded significantly due to shale gas deposits and the low cost advantage these bring

• It is expected that probably three new MEG plants, one of 1.0-1.5 million tpa and two each of 500 ktpa, will be built in the USA by 2017/18

• In comparison with PTA, MEG has much less pressure from overcapacity issue

• New MEG projects are slated to come on stream post 2015 in the Middle East, but low-cost gas feedstock is limiting and delaying capacity expansions in some countries

• The viability of coal-based plants in China is now doubtful, due to environmental, cost and quality issues being raised

CONCLUSIONS

• New Government Stimulus Policy in China

• Market players in Asia are still not confident about 2013 Polyester fibre and PET resin business performance due to global economic conditions as well as massive new capacity in China in 2013

• Rapid expansion of PTA capacity in Asia, especially in China, has begun to stretch available supplies of PX and margins have been squeezed

• PX capacity addition as planned should be sufficient to match polyester growth rates but does not match planned new PTA capacity growth

• In comparison with PTA, MEG has much less pressure from overcapacity issue, and may see some reasonable margins in 2013
