但利德巴克表示，这类为长期增长而缩减总体产能的投资，可能只有大型企业才有能力承担。并非所有 特种化学品都能真正盈利，因为其研发、生产及审批成本高昂，且所有这些环节都需要时间。 当前，亚洲地区持续新增产能，全球石化产品供应过剩，同时，需求疲软的局面迟迟未改。石化企业正 因利润率下滑和经营亏损，被迫通过整合重组直面现实挑战。近日，安迅思(ICIS)副总裁兼化工分析主 管亚历克斯·利德巴克表示，全球石化市场短期预计难以复苏，企业需正视重组的必要性。他指出："石 化企业必须做出艰难决策，并相应调整自身规模。" 以韩国企业为例，尽管重组谈判尚未完成，但它们已同意将石脑油裂解中心(NCC)的产能削减至多四分 之一。截至目前，HD现代化学公司与乐天化学正在敲定业务重组计划，拟将大山工业园区的石脑油裂 解中心整合为合资企业，以此削减乙烯产量。其他企业仍在就重组方案进行磋商，韩国政府要求相关计 划须在年底前提交。与此同时，行业整合正同步推进以优化运营。部分企业如乐天化学等，计划从基础 化工转型，进军特种化学品领域。 2025至2026年全球石化产能持续扩张，对全球石化企业而言并非好消息。目前，除印度等少数地区外， 多数经济体需 ...
