亞洲石蠟供應(yīng)增長(zhǎng)平穩(wěn)
中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)亞洲潤(rùn)滑油周報(bào)3月9日消息，咨詢公司克萊恩公司在一次網(wǎng)絡(luò)研討會(huì)上表示，2010年至2017年期間，亞洲石蠟供應(yīng)以復(fù)合年均1%的速度緩慢增長(zhǎng)，盡管全球石蠟供應(yīng)總體出現(xiàn)下降，但是亞洲市場(chǎng)緩慢增長(zhǎng)的趨勢(shì)將持續(xù)。
2017年亞洲石蠟產(chǎn)量約為180萬(wàn)噸，占全球320萬(wàn)噸石蠟供應(yīng)量的57%。
雖然石蠟仍在全球蠟市場(chǎng)占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位，但隨著合成蠟和植物蠟供應(yīng)的增加，石蠟在全球蠟市場(chǎng)所占的份額已經(jīng)在緩慢下滑?？巳R恩公司項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理Pooja Sharma 表示：“在過(guò)去的5-7年時(shí)間里，石蠟在全球蠟市場(chǎng)所占份額已經(jīng)從80%下降至不到70%?！?/p>
Sharma預(yù)測(cè)，未來(lái)五年全球石蠟市場(chǎng)將保持穩(wěn)定。歐洲和美國(guó)沒(méi)有宣布重大的I類(lèi)基礎(chǔ)油裝置關(guān)閉計(jì)劃，因此石蠟供應(yīng)預(yù)計(jì)將保持在目前的水平。亞洲的供應(yīng)將略有增加，這主要是由于中國(guó)煉油工藝的改進(jìn)。

Wax Supply Growth Flat in Asia
Asia’s petroleum wax supply grew at a compound annual rate of 1 percent between 2010 and 2017, a trend which is expected to continue despite an overall decline in global supply, said consultancy Kline & Co. in a webinar.
In 2017 Asia produced approximately 1.8 million metric tons of petroleum wax, or 57 percent of 3.2 million tons of global petroleum wax supply.
Although petroleum wax still dominates the global wax market, its share has been slowly declining as the supply of synthetic and vegetable waxes rising. “In the last five to seven years, the share of petroleum waxes has trickled down from over 80 percent to less than 70 percent,” Pooja Sharma project manager at the Parsippany, New Jersey-based consultancy noted during the presentation.
Over the next five years the market will remain static, Sharma predicts. “No significant Group I plant rationalizations have been announced in Europe and [the] U.S. for the next five years, so the supply of petroleum waxes is expected to remain stable at current levels. There will be slight supply increases In Asia, primarily due to refinery process improvements in China,” she said.
