30/04/2015 (Bernama) - ENMORE (formerly known as CBI CHINA) will present its flagship event 12th Oleochem Outlook 2015 in Xiamen, China on July 8-9.
 
Coming to its 12th year, the conference will bring 300+ market players including biodiesel producers, palm oil suppliers, fatty acid manufacturers, fatty alcohol manufacturers, surfactant manufacturers, daily-use chemical procurement, additive manufacturers, futures market players, associations and also others to gather in Xiamen, one of the most beautiful seaside cities in China to take a look at the market.
 
In 2014, the crude oil price plummeted. WTI and Brent Oil went down with gradually increased volatility quite different from its stable trend in 2013. Under such circumstances, how will the oleochemical Industry develop? For raw materials, the palm oil price kept going down under the pressure of decreased crude oil price. What would be the price outlook for palm oil? And how would the kernel oil price go in the competition with CNO? With the overcapacity of the fatty alcohol industry, how will the players balance the supply & demand? What is the new trend of surfactant? Meanwhile, the biodiesel manufacturers suffered a lot from the plunge of crude oil price. Market players are quite concerned about the tight supply of glycerin -- will this bring another peak of the glycerin price?
