据TABNI网站迪拜报道，到2024年前，全球乙烯年产能将有可观的增加，乙烯年产能可能从2019年的1.9154亿吨增加到2024年的2.8322亿吨，总增长48%。
全球领先的数据和分析公司GlobalData表示，在所有地区中，亚洲地区将引领全球乙烯产能增长，亚洲地区的乙烯年产能预计将从2019年的7091万吨增加到2024年的1.2045亿吨，年均增长率(AAGR)为10.6%。
GlobalData发表的题为《全球到2024年乙烯工业展望——产能和资本支出预测，包括所有已投产和已计划新建乙烯厂细节》报告显示，到2024年前，大约有123家已计划和已宣布的乙烯厂将投产，其中主要集中在亚洲。
在亚洲，中国到2024年前将年增2748万吨乙烯产能。中国对亚洲新增乙烯产能的贡献约为59.9%，主要新增乙烯产能将来自埃克森美孚公司在中国的舟山乙烯厂和埃克森美孚公司惠州乙烯厂1期项目，到2024年前，新增乙烯产能将分别达到180万吨和160万吨。
GlobalData油气分析师Dayanand Kharade表示：“亚洲将主导全球乙烯市场，这主要是由于中国的新项目数量和新增绝对产能规模都是最大的。到2024年前，中国将建设大约33个乙烯项目。”
GlobalData确定印度在新增乙烯产能方面在亚洲地区将是第二高的国家，其乙烯年产能到2024年将从2019年的738万吨增加到1433万吨，其AAGR为13.3%。主要乙烯产能增加将来自纳亚拉能源公司的瓦迪纳尔乙烯厂，其乙烯年产能2024年前将达到180万吨。
韩国将成为亚太地区新增乙烯产能第三高的国家，其年产能将从2019年的995万吨增加到2024年的1413万吨，其AAGR为7%。主要新增乙烯产能将来自S-Oil公司的蔚山乙烯厂2期项目，其乙烯年产能到2024年前将达到150万吨。

Asia to lead global ethylene capacity additions
Global ethylene capacity is poised to see considerable growth by 2024, potentially increasing from 191.54 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in 2019 to 283.22 mtpa in 2024, registering a total growth of 48%.
Among the regions, Asia will lead the capacity additions and the region’s ethylene capacity is expected to increase from 70.91 mtpa in 2019 to 120.45 mtpa in 2024, at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 10.6%, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
The company’s report, ‘Global Ethylene Industry Outlook to 2024 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Forecasts with Details of All Active and Planned Plants’ reveals that around 123 planned and announced plants are scheduled to come Within Asia, China will add a capacity of around 27.48 mtpa by 2024. China’s contribution to Asia’s total capacity addition is around 59.9% Major capacity additions will be from Exxon Mobil Corporation Zhoushan Ethylene Plant and Exxon Mobil Corporation Huizhou Ethylene Plant 1, with capacities of 1.80 mtpa and 1.60 mtpa, respectively, by 2024.
Dayanand Kharade, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Asia will dominate the global ethylene market, mainly due to China coming up with both the biggest number of new projects and the largest absolute capacity additions. The country is set to build around 33 ethylene projects by 2024.”
GlobalData identifies India as the second highest country within the region in terms of capacity additions, with capacity increase from 7.38 mtpa in 2019 to 14.33 mtpa in 2024, at an AAGR of 13.3%, Major capacity additions will be from Nayara Energy Vadinar Ethylene Plant, with a capacity of 1.80 mtpa by 2024.
South Korea will be the third highest country within the region in terms of capacity additions, with capacity increasing from 9.95 mtpa in 2019 to 14.13 mtpa in 2024, at an AAGR of 7%. Major capacity additions will be from S-Oil Corporation Ulsan Ethylene Plant 2, with a capacity of 1.50 mtpa by 2024.
