The Saudi petrochemicals industry had 18.2mn tonnes per annum (tpa) of ethylene capacity and 7.0mn tpa of propylene capacity in 2017, providing feedstock for polymer derivatives such as polyethylene (12.22mn tpa), polypropylene (5.7mn tpa), polystyrene (375,000tpa) and polyvinyl chloride (405,000tpa). Saudi Arabia is, therefore, the world's third largest petrochemicals producer after China and the US.
