摘要
Global polyethylene terephthalate margins are headed for another downturn as a slug of new capacity hits the market, analysts say. Margins in all three major regions of the world will fall starting this year, before stabilizing in 2008 as a result of some capacity rationalization. Much of the overcapacity is in Asia, where capacity has grown at 17%/year for the past five years, to 7.4 million m.t./year. North American producers are also adding capacity, much of it coming onstream next year. Europe's capacity growth of 9.2%/year will exceed demand growth of 6.9%/year over the next five years, helping to close the capacity deficit in the region.
