Job Opportunities / Market Demand / Market Trends
Since the government implemented a policy of liberalizing the petrochemical industry in 1999, many private sectors have significantly increased their investments in the industry, expanding production capacity in various types of downstream petrochemical products (Horizontal Integration), as well as existing petrochemical products to achieve economies of scale. This has led to intense competition in the downstream chemical industry, and the business model in the industry has shifted from small companies to groups of companies with integrated petrochemical plants and a wider variety of products. Consequently, the demand for professionals in this field remains high in the labor market, especially for those with skills and/or good academic performance.
