1H/2015 Business Outlook-1
• Benzene
1. Supply from Asia will be increased by 1 million tons in 1H/2015 due to new capacity put in service.
2. Benzene price in 2015 shall be more stable due to new capacity on stream.
• Propylene
1. The CPC supply will be improved in 2015, due to CPC completed turn around for new Naphtha Cracker and RFCC in 2014.
2. Propylene price in 1H/2015 would increase, due to shut down of many crackers during March-May 2015.
3. Four PDH plants in China put in service, propylene production would increase by around two million mt to untighten supply after Jun/2015.

TPCC
1H/2015 Business Outlook-2
29
• Phenol Chain Market – U.S. and Europe economics recover, and
China remained stable. Demand will be picked up gradually in Year 2015
compared to last year. In Asia, four new plants (one million MT) will be on
stream in 1H/2015, it will impact overall capacity utilization.
• Corporate strategy – To cope with threats in over supply market
trends, heavy attention will be paid to achievement of best possible margin
rather than highest production. Reduce operation cost by flexible operation
lines.
• Business strategy – Our strategy is to increase our sales to different
countries/areas to reduce the dependence on China market. Utilized
equipment leasing strategies to maintain revenue growth and promote sales
on new series of products (BDO/THF/GBL).
