Asia is expected to lead the ethylene capacity additions globally with a capacity of 52.94 million tons per annum (mtpa) by 2025. China, which accounts for more than half of the ethylene capacity additions within Asia, is likely to lead the global ethylene capacity additions by 2025, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. 

GlobalData’s report, Global Ethylene Industry Outlook to 2025 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Forecasts with Details of All Active and Planned Plants’ reveals that Ethylene capacity is poised to see considerable growth by 2025, potentially increasing from 201.32 mtpa in 2020 to 299.42 mtpa in 2025, registering a total growth of 49%.
