GPCA ANNUAL REPORT 2016 3
Chairman’s foreward
The year 2016 marked a decade since GPCA was founded. Building on achievements from the past 10 years, the association continued to excel in networking, thought leadership and its position Yousef Al-Benyan on the world map, growing into a key regional Chairman GPCA and Vice organization with global scope and reach. This Chairman and CEO, SABIC was reflected in the overwhelming success of key programs and initiatives such as Gulf SQAS, Responsible Care, Waste Free Environment, and as of late – Leaders of Tomorrow, a brand new talent development program, which was launched during last year’s Annual GPCA Forum.
Now in its 11th edition, the forum continues to gain in popularity and reputation. It started as a modest gathering in Dubai in 2006, and has now transformed into a truly global event attracting thousands of delegates from different parts of the world every year. This does not only reflect the rising level of interest in the downstream sector in the region, but also the important role that GPCA plays as a port of call for global industry leaders.
Throughout 2016 GPCA’s events, workshops and conferences covered key industry topics ranging from the role of technology in running a successful business, to the importance of talent development, innovation and sustainability, and how to turn challenges into opportunities in the current market environment.
At the end of 2016, we published a total of 130 publications divided into five different categories, namely, statistical, periodical, post-event, industry trends and co-branded reports. Our publications continued to reflect GPCA’s growing role as the voice of the industry, and the region’s single, most trusted source for data, market trends, research and analysis.
Moving forward, GPCA will continue to serve the interests of the industry and add value to its members through its advocacy, thought leadership and networking pillars. The petrochemical industry is what’s been holding the GCC strong during the difficult times, and GPCA will have a vital role to play in safeguarding its place as the cornerstone of our economies. It will depend on us as industry leaders and members of the association, to be proactive and act together. Opportunities are running high to not only shape the future, but define the direction it will take for the next decade to come.

The 7th annual GPCA PlastiCon brought together delegates, industry leaders and key decision makers to Dubai on 10-12 January 2016 to engage in, analyze and discuss the state of the industry in the GCC. The conference took place under the theme ‘Evolving GCC Plastic Conversion: Technology Meets Business’, with speakers from some of the leading GCC petrochemical players including QAPCO, Sadara, SABIC, TASNEE and Petro Rabigh delivering engaging presentations on the key developments and trends in the plastics conversion industry, and the opportunities that lie ahead to generate more value. Huge emphasis was put on manufacturing products that are highly differentiated and feed into industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics and others, in order to safeguard the business from ongoing market volatility.
PlastiCon started by highlighting the impressive growth of the GCC’s plastics industry which resulted in high revenues, access to new markets and new job opportunities throughout the last decade. In its ‘GCC Plastics Industry Indicators 2015’ report, which was released during the conference, GPCA estimated that plastics capacity in the Arabian Gulf nearly tripled between 2006 and 2015, from 9.2 million tons to 26.6 million tons, representing a cumulative annual growth rate of 11.7%.
