Phenol outlook – key pointsPhenol supply overhang to worsen in 2017-2018 as capacity expansion continues
to outpace demand growthOverhang in China/northeast Asia supplyCyclohexanone capacity expansion in China, Japan in 2017-2018 will help to
marginally ease supply/demand imbalanceStart-up of new phenol plant in India will reduce India’s import demand and
exacerbate supply overhang Further industry consolidation may be necessary
