石油化学製品の市場動向と促進要因：

原油価格の変動

世界の石油化学製品の市場は、これらの製品の主原料である原油価格の変動の影響を受けます。原油価格の変動は、石油化学製品の生産コストと収益性に直接影響するからです。2012年、1立方メートルあたりの原油価格は約702米ドルで、2022年には約637米ドルまで下落しました（Energy Institute and Our World in Data）。原油価格が上昇すると、石油化学メーカーの生産コストが上昇し、最終製品の価格上昇につながることが多いです。逆に、原油価格が下がる時期には、生産コストが下がる傾向にあり、より競争力のある価格設定につながる可能性があります。

さらに、世界の組織も需給に影響を与えることで、原油価格に影響を与えます。例えば、石油輸出国機構（OPEC）は、加盟国の生産水準を定めることができます。2021年、OPEC加盟国は原油確認埋蔵量の72％、原油生産量の37％を保有していました。これらの要因は、石油化学企業が石油市場の状況を注意深く監視し、変化に適応する必要性を強調しています。さらに、価格変動の悪影響を軽減するためのヘッジなどのリスク管理戦略の重要性も浮き彫りになっています。

業界を超えた製品需要の急増

自動車、建設、包装など様々な分野からの需要が、世界の石油化学製品の市場の展望に影響を与えています。自動車産業では、石油化学製品の自動車部品に使用されるプラスチック、ゴム、合成繊維の製造に不可欠です。一方、包装分野では、石油化学製品から生まれたプラスチックは、軽量で耐久性があり、費用対効果の高い包装ソリューションに使用されています。現在、ロッキーマウンテン研究所（RMI）の調べによると、プラスチック包装は世界の石油化学製品の17％以上を占めています。同様に、建設分野ではPVCパイプや断熱材などの材料が石油化学製品に依存しています。Deloitte Insightsによると、米国の先端建設石油化学製品の市場は2025年までに32%成長する可能性があります。米国や欧州などの先進経済諸国は、インドやインドネシアなどの新興経済諸国の20倍ものプラスチックを使用しています。

環境規制と持続可能性への懸念

政府と消費者の両方が石油化学製品の業界によりクリーンで持続可能な慣行を求める中、企業は環境フットプリントを削減し、温室効果ガスの排出を最小限に抑え、エネルギー消費を削減し、従来の石油化学製品に代わる環境に優しい製品を開発する必要に迫られています。厳しい規制や持続可能な慣行の導入に対応するため、石油化学セクターの企業は研究開発（R&D）活動に投資し、革新的で環境に優しいソリューションを生み出すと同時に、進化する環境基準の遵守を徹底しています。例えば、日本の大手化学会社である住友化学は、エタノールから直接プロピレンを製造する環境に優しい新製法を確立しようとしています。同社はグリーンイノベーションファンドプロジェクトとして、この技術をテストするパイロットプラントを建設中で、2025年までに商業化する予定です。

Petrochemicals Market Trends/Drivers:

Fluctuations in crude oil prices

The global petrochemicals market is influenced by changes in the price of crude oil, the primary feedstock for these products, as fluctuations in the prices of crude oil directly impact petrochemical production costs and profitability. In 2012, the crude oil price per cubic meter was about US$ 702 and decreased to about US$ 637 per cubic meter in 2022 (Energy Institute and Our World in Data). When oil prices rise, it often leads to increased production costs for petrochemical manufacturers, which can result in higher prices for end products. Conversely, during periods of lower oil prices, production costs tend to decrease, potentially leading to more competitive pricing.

Furthermore, global organizations also affect oil prices by influencing supply and demand. For example, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or the OPEC can establish production levels for its members. In 2021, OPEC members owned 72% of the proved crude oil reserves and 37% of the crude oil production. These factors underscore the need for petrochemical companies to closely monitor and adapt to changing oil market conditions. Moreover, it highlights the importance of risk management strategies, such as hedging, to mitigate the adverse effects of price volatility.

Surging product demand across industries

The demand from various sectors, including automotive, construction, and packaging is influencing the global petrochemicals market outlook. In the automotive industry, petrochemicals are crucial for manufacturing plastics, rubber, and synthetic fibers used in vehicle components. In packaging, on the other hand, plastics derived from petrochemicals are used for creating lightweight, durable, and cost-effective packaging solutions. At present, plastic packaging accounts for more than 17% of the global petrochemical production as per the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). Similarly, the construction sector relies on petrochemicals for materials like PVC pipes and insulation. According to Deloitte Insights, the US market for advanced construction petrochemicals could grow by 32% by 2025. Advanced economies, like the United States and Europe, use up to 20 times as much plastic as developing economies, like India and Indonesia

Environmental regulations and sustainability concerns

As both governments and consumers push for cleaner and more sustainable practices in the petrochemicals industry, companies are under pressure to reduce their environmental footprint, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, reduce energy consumption, and develop eco-friendly alternatives to traditional petrochemical products. To comply with stringent regulations and the adoption of sustainable practices, companies in the petrochemical sector are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to innovate and create greener solutions while also ensuring that their operations adhere to evolving environmental standards. For instance, Sumitomo Chemical, a major Japanese chemical company, is establishing a new, environmentally-friendly method for producing propylene directly from ethanol. The company is building a pilot plant to test the technology as a Green Innovation Fund Project, which is expected to be commercialized by 2025.

Favorable government policies, trade agreements, and foreign direct investment are furthermore driving economic expansion. The region's strategic geographical location makes it a key player in global trade, benefiting from the growth of international commerce. The market is also being supported by expanding demand for petrochemicals in the region. In China, for instance, the demand for petrochemical feedstocks was much higher in 2023 than in 2019 as per the International Energy Agency (IEA). On the other hand, India is investing in expanding its refining capacity on account of the rising demand fuel and petrochemicals, driven by rapid economic growth in the country.
