Sinopec (China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation) is China's largest chemical maker and one of the world's largest integrated petrochemical companies, with chemical segment revenue exceeding $70 billion in 2025. Operating under strong government support as a state-owned enterprise, Sinopec is pursuing ambitious expansion both domestically and internationally. The company set an ethylene production record of 13.47 million metric tons in 2024 and is building a $6.4 billion petrochemical joint venture in Fujian Province with a local partner. In Saudi Arabia, Sinopec and Saudi Aramco are jointly developing a petrochemical complex in Yanbu with 1.8 million metric tons of ethylene capacity. Despite flat chemical sales in 2024 due to domestic overcapacity and margin pressure, Sinopec's scale, integration, and government backing make it a dominant force in global petrochemical supply chains.
