Report Insights

  • The demand for propane-powered vehicles across all regions will be driven by the stringent regulations that mandate a reduction in GHG emissions and low prices of propane when compared with other alternative fuels, such as gasoline and diesel. The consumption of propane in the petrochemical industry is increasing with the rise in the number of PDH facilities that are used to produce propylene and ethylene.
  • Procurement managers must identify and engage with suppliers that incorporate IT into their operational processes, which includes manufacturing and transportation of propane. Adopting this procurement practice provides clarity regarding the amount of propane transported to the buyer and the progress regarding shipments. It will also help the buyers to gather information and estimate the TAT for the delivery of the product.
  • One of the key challenges faced by the buyers in this market includes difficulty in estimating procurement budgets as the high volatility of crude oil prices leads to fluctuation in the cost of propane. This makes it difficult for the buyers to forecast the prices of propane for the contract period accurately leading to difficulty in estimating procurement budgets.
