新建裝置投產 下半年亞洲PTA供應出現過剩
中國石化新聞網訊 據安迅思新聞新加坡6月13日消息，今年下半年亞洲精對苯二甲酸（PTA）供應將出現過剩，因為一方面主要的印度和中國市場將有新增產能投產，另一方面市場需求增速將放緩。
亞洲地區主要的PTA生產裝置在經歷了非計劃停工后將恢復生產，這將緩解當前全球供應緊張的局面，供應緊張已經在刺激亞洲PTA價格的上漲，與此同時，三季度通常是PTA需求淡季。
亞洲PTA價格可能開始面臨壓力，因為該地區一些主要新建裝置將在第三季度投產，新的供應將沖擊市場。
一位駐中國的生產商表示：“市場情緒目前對前景持悲觀態度，但如果我們看到下游需求突然上升，這種情況可能很快就會發生變化。”

Asia PTA supply to lengthen in H2 on India, China plant start-ups
Supply of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) in Asia is expected to lengthen in the second half of 2018 as new capacities will start up in the major markets of India and China, amid a slowdown in demand.
Major plants will have resumed production after unplanned outages to ease the current global supply tightness that has been driving up Asian prices, while demand typically weakens in the third quarter.
Asian PTA prices may start to come under pressure as fresh supply will hit the markets when new major regional plants start production in the third quarter.
"Market sentiment is currently pessimistic about the outlook, however, this can quickly change if we see a sudden uptick in downstream demand," a China-based producer said.
