Résumé : |
The polyester chain had a challenging year in 2019. It had to come to terms with over-capacity of varying degrees throughout the chain. Additionally, prices spiralled due to weakening upstream costs, while margins -or lack of - became squeezed.
The global economic landscape further tested the limits of market players already facing a difficult year. Nevertheless, what was remarkable was the resilience of the chain - particularly the polyester sector. Not only did polyester production not tumble, China led the world of polyesters to put in a credible show in downstream markets. This provided a silver lining amid dark clouds and gave hope that 2020 might not be as bad as previously feared. |
