據烴加工2023年8月25日報道，總部位于里約熱內盧的巴西石化公司（Braskem）首席執行官羅伯托·比肖夫8月25日表示，作為拉丁美洲最大的石化公司，巴西石化公司看到了塑料樹脂市場的非典型情況，其中包括大量塑料樹脂從世界頂級生產國出口到欠發達地區，這是因為北半球的大部分塑料樹脂需求仍然受到挑戰。

比肖夫在公司第二季度電話會議結束時表示：“非典型情況在行業中很常見，但這種情況特別包括了一些確實加劇了這種情況的方面。”

比肖夫說：“從本質上講，我們看到工業很難恢復增長，這對全球石化產品增長率產生了影響。我們還看到，美國在需求惡化方面面臨一些挑戰，而歐洲盡管最近出現了積極的跡象，但由于通貨膨脹和其他壓力，歐洲也受到了影響。”

比肖夫說：“這些影響加在一起，顯然影響了石化產品的擴散，也使得其他地區的石化產品向發展中國家出口。”

Developing countries see more resin imports as demand challenged

The CEO of Brazil-based Braskem, Roberto Bischoff, said that the company that is Latin America′s biggest petrochemical organization is seeing atypical scenarios in plastic resin markets that include very large flows of plastic resin exports from the world′s top producer countries into the less developed areas because much of the Northern Hemisphere demand remains challenged.

“Atypycal scenarios are common in the industry but this scenario specifically includes a few aspects that really aggravate this,” Bischoff said at the end of the second quarter conference call.

“Deep down we are seeing the industry having a hard time recovering growth and this has an impact on global product rates. We also see that the U.S. is having some challenge in deteriorating demand and Europe, which in spite of positive signs recently also feels an impact due to inflation and other pressures,” he said.

“These influences combined have clearly impacted the petrochemical spreads and they also made it so that products from other regions they are exporting their products to developing countries,” Bischoff said..
