APIC 2018 : Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference

August 20, 2018

On behalf of the Malaysian Petrochemicals Association, I would like to welcome speakers, delegates, exhibitors, sponsors and partners to the 39th Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference, being held in Kuala Lumpur on 20-21 August 2018. The theme for our meeting this year is ‘Creating value through collaboration’. The petrochemical industry is gaining significance in the light of increased economic activity, urbanisation and rising middle class incomes. Driven by strong demand, these rapidly evolving megatrends are all key factors and opportunities for the petrochemical industry. In the midst of the prospects these megatrends present, potential competition from other regions poses a threat to the Asian petrochemical industry.
