World methanol markets will tighten after 1991, Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (Sabic) predicts. Underpinning that tightness will be continuing strong growth for methanol derived methyl tertiary butyl ether. Meantime, the Saudi state owned petrochemical company expects environmental concerns and slower economic growth to keep polyethylene markets soft the next 2 years. In addition, Sabic foresees a return to stability for ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol markets after volatility in the latter 1980s.
