In road transport, electrification and autonomous technology disrupt oil demand in the long-run While the shift in car sales to EVs is rapid post-2030, the impact on the car parc is gradual. By 2040, EVs account for 37% of new car sales and 17% of total cars in operation.

Conventional: Gasoline, Diesel and LPG internal combustion engine vehicles, HEVs: Hybrid Electric Vehicles,
PHEVs: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, EVs: Battery Electric Vehicles; AEVs: Autonomous Electric Vehicles
Global passenger car stock by type
Total EV stock reaches
296 million in 2040.
AEVs reach 4 mil units by 2035 and 24
mil units by 2040
Globally, the share of conventional cars falls
to 50% by 2040.
Post 2035, the rise of AEVs leads to a
decline in global car sales

Overcapacity means global ethylene utilisation is to fall Ethylene demand grew faster than ethylene capacity additions over the past 5 years, leading to high global operating rates.
This situation will reverse in the next 5-7 years as a large build out of ethylene capacity takes place.

Integrated ethylene margins are to fall for European and Asian crackers US integrated margins strengthen as ethane costs fall and so outperform the other regions due to its feedstock advantage.

• Grow partnerships with European and Asian
specialty players
• Step change in chemicals supply via crude to

Key challenges are:
Global economic health: The risk of a global economic recession are rising, which challenges
the funding available to Middle East governments. Nonetheless, petrochemical margins are
forecast to weak through to 2025
Regional shift towards a heavier feed slate: This challenges the magnitude of the regional
cost advantage and its availability down the value chain
Attracting and Developing Talent: There is a serious concern about the talent available in the
region to manage and operate petrochemical projects. Many of the projects are located in
remote places so difficult to staff
The growth of the Middle East downstream conversion industry is not without its challenges
Many of the regional governments are also following similar strategies, so developing a differentiated offer is essential
