$200 BILLION OPPORTUNITY: The time to invest is now - Be part of the growth & development

Since 2010, petrochemical producers have announced significant expansions of capacity in the U.S., and the momentum is not over.
To date, 334 chemical and plastics projects cumulatively valued at $204 billion have been announced, 53% of the investment completed or underway and 40% in the planning phase.
America’s plentiful and affordable supplies of natural gas and NGLs are driving the new investment. Further gains in capital spending are anticipated, increasing by 5.4% this year and 4.9% in 2020.
Capital spending will reach $43 billion by 2024, according to the ACC.
Chemical production in the U.S. is expected to surge over the next five years, compared with the last two decades.
Growth in output and continued expansion of capacity will generate demand for more workers, with more than 17,000 more jobs expected through 2024.
