The global MTBE markets witnessed a 2mn t expansion in 2015 with new capacity added in China, Europe, and the US. With another 1.275mn t of MTBE expected to come online in 2016, how will the markets react and what new trade flows will emerge? High octane component prices reached high levels in the summer of 2015 due to favorable blending economics and tight supplies for blend stocks. Will we see the same scenario in the summer of 2016 and how will MTBE compare against the other gasoline blend stocks? How will new Chinese gasoline specifications affect MTBE consumption and will China be oversupplied?
