PriceSeek Analysis of Ethylene, Bull-Bear Score: 2. ExxonMobil's early shutdown of the Fife Ethylene Plant (FEP) at the Mossmorran facility in Scotland, one of Europe's largest and most technologically advanced ethylene plants, which had been operating continuously for 40 years and was originally set to cease operations on February 16, has led to a significant reduction in ethylene supply. As a key raw material in the plastics industry, ethylene demand remains stable or has potential for growth. In the short term, spot ethylene supply in the European market is tight, which may drive up spot prices, representing a significant positive factor.
