 In 2008, the worlds ethylene production capacity has reached 22.651 million tons / year. The Dow Chemical Company is currently the worlds largest manufacturer of ethylene glycol, which has a production plant in the United Kingdom and the United States. By 2010, the eastern Saudi Petrochemical Company ethylene production capacity of over 3.3 million tons / year, thus replacing Dow Chemical to become the worlds largest ethylene producer. Global ethylene capacity is concentrated in Asia, the global market is off a glycol expansion climax. From 2006 to 2010, the worlds ethylene production capacity more than 8 million tons / year, of which more than 5 million tons / year capacity is concentrated in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait and other Middle East countries. Middle East, North America, and has more than the worlds largest exporter of ethylene glycol. By then, some devices the United States, Europe and Japan and other countries and regions will be weak because of competition and forced to close.
    
China is the worlds largest consumer of ethylene production capacity is also increasingly expanding 
    
Sinopec: As is located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company 650,000 tons of ethylene oxide / ethylene glycol plant put into operation in late April, and production of qualified products, Sinopec, in eastern Chinas total ethylene production capacity of 2 million tons , production companies, including Shanghai Petrochemical, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical, Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical and joint ventures Yangzi - BASF. Sinopec Zhenhai Refining and Shanghai became Chinas two biggest producers of ethylene glycol; 
    
CNPC: PetroChina Sichuan Petrochemical Company in July 2009, 2.5 million tons / year catalytic cracking unit, 360,000 tons / year ethylene glycol plant and captive power plant No. 3, No. 4 boiler projects have been started; 
    
Built Tongliao Jinmei Chemical Company coal glycol project a 200,000 tons / year ethylene glycol coal projects into production; 
    
Yizheng Chemical is currently Chinas largest polyester manufacturer, with an annual capacity of 1.08 million tons, is one of the worlds top ten producers of polyester. It is understood that the country will increase the annual production capacity of 1.27 million tons of ethylene glycol, but the pattern is still dependent on imports will not change. 
    
Data show that expected by the end of 2010, Chinas ethylene production capacity of nearly 400 million tons, including 150,000 tons of coal deposits Tongliao coal glycol capacity. Tongliao Jinmei product solutions has grown from the original 20 tons, adjusted to 15 million tons of coal and 100,000 tons of ethylene glycol oxalic acid. With the increase of ethylene production capacity, production also increased.
