Petrochemical Market Scope
Petrochemicals are chemical products that are derived from petroleum or other fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Demand for petrochemicals is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of synthetic fibers/rubbers and plastics across the globe. Plastic is a highly consumed material across the globe for the manufacturing of drinking bottles and single-use plastic bags. However, petrochemicals have wide application in the pharmaceutical industry for the manufacturing of multiple drugs like antibiotics, antibacterial, cough syrups, creams, ointments, etc., and also used in heart valves and other esoteric medical equipment that will create noteworthy growth for the petrochemicals market.
