中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思新闻新加坡6月13日消息，今年下半年亚洲精对苯二甲酸（PTA）供应将出现过剩，因为一方面主要的印度和中国市场将有新增产能投产，另一方面市场需求增速将放缓。

亚洲地区主要的PTA生产装置在经历了非计划停工后将恢复生产，这将缓解当前全球供应紧张的局面，供应紧张已经在刺激亚洲PTA价格的上涨，与此同时，三季度通常是PTA需求淡季。

亚洲PTA价格可能开始面临压力，因为该地区一些主要新建装置将在第三季度投产，新的供应将冲击市场。

一位驻中国的生产商表示：“市场情绪目前对前景持悲观态度，但如果我们看到下游需求突然上升，这种情况可能很快就会发生变化。”

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.
