Asian Benzene Producers in Search for New Export Opportunities According to Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd



LONDON – During the last decade the total global market of benzene has been largely tight in supply. Above the complicated market balance standing, the world recession undermined this market to a vast extent. Therefore the prices for benzene have witnessed wide volatility on various regional markets.

Starting with late 2009 the producers here boast relatively lavish stocks, while the supplies find small interest from the domestic consumers – the ability to purchase benzene is rather weak. Export is the key goal for the Asian benzene suppliers who are in search for new opportunities on foreign markets.
