Demand Supply

Figure 2.32 Graphical Representation of the Historical Demand and Supply of Benzene
The graph interprets the sufficient difference between the demand and supply values of
Benzene for the past ten years. The demand for Benzene will surely increase in the future
because they are cheap and they can be used in manufacturing many chemicals such as cumene,
phenol and acetone. It can be settled that the local supply for Benzene is enough.

PETRON Aromatics Facility is one major manufacturing plant of Benzene in the

Philippines and they have the capability to supply the demand of Benzene across the country.
