Industry experience

Global polypropylene market assessment

ADI evaluated global demand for homopolymer, impact copolymer, and random copolymer grades, emphasizing crystalline HCPP and reactor-TPO segments. The analysis integrated utilization rate forecasts and regional cost curves to model trade flows across Middle East, Asia Pacific, and North America. Operational risks, including plant debottlenecking and feedstock shifts toward shale-based propane, were contrasted against tightening […]

Global polyisobutylene market assessment

ADI analyzed global demand for conventional and highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR-PIB) across fuel additives, lubricants, and industrial applications. The work evaluated capacity utilization and trade flows across Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. Economic trade-offs between feedstock C4 availability and tightening margins for low-molecular-weight grades were modeled over a period of 15 years. The client […]

Polyethylene market and catalyst outlook

ADI modeled global demand for HDPE and specialty metallocene-based grades, including mLLDPE, POE, and POP, across diverse density ranges. The study analyzed the performance trade-offs of Chromium, Ziegler-Natta, and metallocene catalysts in bimodal HDPE production for pipe and blow molding applications. Significant uncertainty regarding the share of recycled HDPE (rHDPE) was addressed by evaluating regional […]
