Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global
Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) Market   For the
Quarter Ending March 2021   North
America   Rigorous winter storm adversely
affected the US Linear Alpha Olefins market,
where the production was literally snapped off.
Several olefins giants were forced to shut down
their plants for weeks which led to a supply
crisis across the US Market. Manufacturers like
LyondellBasell, ExxonMobil, INEOS Olefins
Polymers and Formosa Plastics, were forced to
shut down their plants. Apart from these big
plants, around 30 plants also remained idled for
many days. Firm demand and low supply opportune
some manufacturers to increase their olefins
prices. Likewise, a major manufacturer increased
their polymer grade and refinery grade Propylene
prices by 33.5 and 10.7 respectively.

Asia   Asian Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) market
witnessed stable domestic demand from downstream
sectors during Q1 2021. Although the supply
remained tight across the region due to the
global shortage, following the US Gulf storm
crisis in February. Local supply for LAO in
Southeast Asia also reduced due to the Chinese
Lunar holidays. Chinese lunar holidays affected
the supply in other Asian countries as well, like
Inedia and South Korea. In India, CFR prices of
C24-C28 increased by 8.15 from January to March
ending. On the other hand, GS Caltex announced a
project to build mixed feed cracker having
700,000 TPA Ethylene and 350,000 TPA Propylene
capacity which is likely to enhance the
production capacity of South Korea and ultimately
reduce the supply crisis of Asian market in the
long term. Get more info https//www.chemanalyst

e   Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) prices remained in
uptrend across January, during Q1 2021. After
January price acceleration was halted by the
improved supply, as some cracker units restarted
in the region. Shortage of supply amid high
import demand from the Asian countries supported
the prices of Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO).
Borealis Stenungsund and INEOS Dormagen restarted
their crackers in March, that improved the supply
crisis across the region and effectively halted
the price acceleration.

• About
• Linear Alpha Olefins (LAO) are important
  industrial alkenes with chemical formula CnH2n.
  LAO has a wide range of uses that varies with
  number of carbons in a compound, like C4 to C8
  are used in polyethylene copolymers, C10 are
  utilized in synthetic lubricants, C12-C14 in
  detergents, and above C20 are used as an additive
  in lubricants. LAO is majorly consumed by
  downstream industries like packaging, lubricant,
  wax and others. Several other uses of LAO include
  plasticizers, synthetic acids and on oil fields.
  LAOs are commercially produced by mainly two
  methods i.e., oligomerisation of Ethylene and by
  Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In Fischer-Tropsch
  synthesis, Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen are
  converted into liquid hydrocarbon in the presence
  of metal catalyst.
