North American Market Has Room to Grow.

The article discusses the growth potential in North America's polymer-grade (PG) and chemical-grade (CG) propylene industry. Industry officials cite the steady growth of the propylene market as a result of an abundant supply of refinery grade (RG) propylene to both direct consumers and large merchant market crackers purifying the RG to PG and CG. Statistics on planned industrial capacity expansions of several companies and pie charts showing propylene supply and demand for 2011 are presented.
