Petrochemical Market to Reach Valuation of USD 779.0 Billion by 2028 – Growth in Plastic Consumption in Developing Nations Drives the Market

In terms of revenue, the Global Petrochemical Market is expected to reach USD 779.0 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.80% from 2022 to 2028.

Growth in demand for downstream products from several end-user industries, including the construction, pharmaceutical, and automotive sectors, primarily drives the market. The foundation of an industrial economy is Petrochemical production, which is essential to several industrial operations. Plastics, tires, detergents, and industrial oil are a few items made from Petrochemical. In addition, the product's basic plastic is used as a building block in the production of consumer goods. End-user industries assess the quality of the products delivered and create purchasing agreements with suppliers to buy Petrochemical derivatives in large quantities and guarantee their reliable and seasonal supply. Because there are more product suppliers on the market, buyers have more negotiating power.
