UBS Group 100-Page In-Depth Report: China's Chemical Industry at the Start of a New Major Cycle
2026 could mark the beginning of a new cycle for China's chemical industry. UBS Group notes that slowing capital expenditure, strict policy controls on new capacity additions, and the exit of high-cost overseas production capacity are driving the sector into a recovery phase from its 2025 earnings trough. Rising oil prices, fueled by Middle East tensions, have further strengthened the competitive advantage of low-cost production routes such as coal-to-olefins and light hydrocarbon cracking.
