Job Opportunities / Market Demand / Market Trends
Since the government liberalized the petrochemical industry almost entirely in 1994, many private sectors have significantly expanded their investments in the industry. There has been an increase in production capacity for various types of downstream petrochemical products (Horizontal Integration), including the production of existing products, particularly polyethylene and polypropylene. Currently, the petrochemical business is still on an upward trend, and with global oil prices reaching historic highs, the prices of petrochemical products remain elevated. These factors have positively impacted those looking to pursue this career.
