"Middle Eastern Petrochemical Industry 2006"
-Status of Construction Boom and Analysis of Overwhelming Competitiveness-

In recent times, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern oil-producing nations have been seeking to diversify their industrial bases as they look to reduce their dependencies on crude oil exports. In this respect, the petrochemical industry in particular is viewed as having great potential due to the competitiveness of the region's abundant supply of low-cost feedstocks. The petrochemical industry has been pushing ahead with aggressive expansion, including investment of foreign capital in joint ventures, and its presence in the global petrochemical arena continues to grow year upon year.

Players in the global petrochemical industry needs to pay close attention to trends in the Middle Eastern petrochemical industry that directly influence it, while it is also beneficial even for those companies and organizations with indirect associations to closely monitor events. This report is a comprehensive update of our groundbreaking publication "Middle Eastern Petrochemical Industry 2003" report. Taking into detailed account the complex political and economic factors characteristic of the Middle Eastern region, a significant volume of the latest data as well as original information from the field has been added, and trends in the petrochemical industries of each Middle Eastern country's petrochemical industry have been compiled and analyzed.

Compared with when the report was published previously, the cost competitiveness of Middle Eastern gas-based petrochemicals has been significantly enhanced on account of sharply higher crude oil prices. Moreover, Iran and Qatar, who share a massive gas field in the natural gas-rich Arabian Gulf, are battling for supremacy in petrochemicals and this is spurring development of a series of petrochemical projects. In this revised edition, we have taken a detailed look at the construction boom in the petrochemical sector and analyzed the region's strong competitiveness.

The following information is provided in detail in "Middle Eastern Petrochemical Industry 2006."

* Outline, summary, and positioning of the Middle East's petrochemical industry
* Status and outlook of the petrochemical industries of 13 countries in the Middle East:
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, and Bahrain
* Chemical industry-related administrative organizations, systems, foreign investment incentives, investment circumstances, and country risk
* Details of petrochemical companies (in particular future plans)
* Production capacities for petrochemical products and balances of petrochemical products in complexes
* Status and outlook of supply and demand for petrochemical products (Middle Eastern and Asian countries)
* Cost competitiveness (comparison with Asian countries and U.S.)
* Status and prospects of petrochemical feedstocks (especially availabilities of feedstock gas)
* Status of European, American, and Japanese companies' activities in the Middle East

Since the previous report was published in 2003, our research team has spent three additional years undertaking further research and analysis. In addition to extensive experience regarding the Middle Eastern petrochemical industry and information collected through the course of our day-to-day work, we have undertaken numerous field trips to visit government offices, companies, and organizations in Middle Eastern countries, Japan, the U.S., and Europe, and through their cooperation we were able to obtain a large volume of valuable information. We feel sure that this publication on the Middle Eastern petrochemical industry, for which information is generally scarce, will prove to be very useful to you.

We will be happy if this report will help you understand and grasp the trends of the dynamic Middle Eastern petrochemical industry, and assist you in formulating suitable business strategies.
