Top 100 Feedback

I've had some interesting feedback on the recent top 100 posting, regarding which companies are likely to dominate in the future. Three main themes are emerging.
Companies that are integrated through the entire petrochemical value chain through to commodity polymers/chemicals have a far greater chance of making it to the top 10. This means that the likes of ChemaWEyaat, SATORP and Borouge could join the 'top table'.
Companies with excellent product & application innovation can also be strong. The model followed by DuPont is a good example of this.
Finally, major players could emerge from oil and gas rich states (Russia and Venezuela are good examples), where feedstock is plentiful and cheaper, so further large, integrated facilities could develop.
Whatever the theme, the absolute key to success is to have a clear strategy, backed up by excellent implementation.
