OVERVIEW OF POM NET TRADE (2005-2025)

The total trade of POM in 2016 was estimated to be around 900 kilotons with Asia-Pacific being the largest importer as well as the largest exporter.

In terms of dependence, Central & Eastern Europe and Central & South America will continue to depend on imports.

The Middle East & Africa has historically been a net importer of POM. However, after the start of the Ibn Sina plant at Saudi Arabia, the region is expected to change its status from being a net importer to a net exporter. It is estimated to export nearly 20 – 30 kilotons of POM in the forecast period between 2018 and 2025.

Western Europe has been a net exporter and the imports have been in the range of 230 – 270 kilotons from 2010 to 2016. Despite the recent de-bottleneck carried out by Celanese and new capacity additions forecasted in the coming years, the Western European region will continue to import large amounts of POM.
