New Market Research Report: Egypt Petrochemicals Report Q4 2015

The recovery of the Egyptian economy in the context of political stability should sustain growth in domestic petrochemicals consumption with rising consumer and industrial activity. Local petrochemicals companies will be seeking to capitalise on this growth by utilising the country's gas potential to produce more basic chemicals.

The construction sector will be lifted by infrastructure growth and strong fixed investment growth, which should boost consumption of construction-related petrochemicals products. Household consumption should follow an above-growth trend, but will be negatively affected by energy price hikes. While the automotive sector is set to grow by a third over the next five years, in historical terms it will remain well below its full potential.

Growth in consumption will absorb much of the increase in production capacity. There were plans for 24 new petrochemical production facilities, adding 15mn tpa of capacity between 2002 and 2022. Many of these projects have suffered setbacks due to a poor business environment, worsened by political events. However, the country's upstream resources and political stability should help to diversify and expand local production. The main obstacle is the uncertainties in gas supply volumes.

Among Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals Co's (Sidpec) USD670mn of planned projects are a rise in production capacity of its butane unit by 32% and projects to increase the added value of ethane/propane mixture which is produced by United Gas Derivatives Co.

MOPCO Fertilizers' first production line was set to come into commercial operation in Q315, adding approximately 650,000tpa of nitrogenous fertilisers to production. A second line is due to be operational by the end of the year.
