Building resilience in the petrochemical industry
In its latest White Paper, Evonik Oxeno explores the resilience factors that help companies in the European petrochemical industry strengthen competitiveness and profitability despite disruptions.
The European petrochemical industry is undergoing a profound transformation as market dynamics, geopolitical uncertainty, high energy costs and sustainability requirements continue to reshape the industry landscape. While many of these challenges lie outside the control of individual companies, the English-language White Paper “Building Resilience in the Petrochemical Industry” highlights several resilience levers that can be actively strengthened.
The paper identifies levers including operational excellence, innovation, strong partnerships across the value chain and regional production networks to navigate an increasingly uncertain industry landscape. Beyond actions at company level, it also highlights the importance of a supportive policy framework to enable the European industry's long-term competitiveness.
