Asia to spearhead worldwide butadiene capacity additions through 2030
Asia is anticipated to add a butadiene production capacity of 4.91 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) during 2025 to 2030 from 19 planned and seven announced projects. The majority of these capacity additions are expected to be in China, with 2.84mtpa.
However, the highest capacity addition in the region is likely from the Reliance Industries Jamnagar Butadiene Plant, an announced project in Gujarat, India. The project is in the approval stage currently and is expected to commence operations in 2030 with a capacity of 0.70mtpa. Reliance Industries holds the 100% equity stake while Reliance O2C is the designated operator.
The CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals Company Huizhou Butadiene Plant 3 in China, and the 'Haldia Petrochemicals Cuddalore Butadiene Plant' in India represent the other significant capacity additions in the region during the outlook period with capacities of 0.31mtpa and 0.27mtpa, respectively.

The Former Soviet Union (FSU), the Middle East and Europe are other regions that are expected to add a capacity of 0.21mtpa, 0.18mtpa, and 0.12mtpa, respectively, by 2030. Russia, Iran, and Poland are central to the capacity additions in these three regions, respectively. Further details of global butadiene capacity and capex analysis can be found in GlobalData's new report, 'Butadiene Industry Capacity and Capital Expenditure Forecasts with Details of All Active and Planned Plants to 2030.'

Japan's real wage falls for sixth straight month in June
By Satoshi Sugiyama TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's real wages fell in June for the sixth consecutive month as inflation continued to outpace pay growth, government data showed on Wednesday, raising concerns about consumption-led recovery in the world's fourth-largest economy. Inflation-adjusted real wages, a key determinant of households' purchasing power, fell 1.3% in June from a year earlier, following a revised 2.6% drop in May. While June's drop in real wages was the slowest since January, it highlights broader pressures on consumption. Core inflation has exceeded the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) target, potentially giving the central bank leeway to raise interest rates as it unwinds years of loose monetary policy, but factors such as geopolitics and tariffs are looming economic risks. The consumer inflation rate the ministry uses to calculate real wages, which includes fresh food prices but not rent costs, rose 3.8% year-on-year in June, the lowest in seven months. Although special payments grew by 3% in June from the previous year due to summertime bonuses, they failed to keep up with a rise in inflation, a labour ministry official said. Total cash earnings, or nominal pay, increased 2.5% to 511,210 yen ($3,476) in June, picking up pace from a revised 1.4% rise in May and the fastest rise in four months. Regular pay, or base salary, rose 2.1% in June, while overtime pay edged up 0.9%. Major Japanese firms on average agreed to pay hikes of more than 5% during annual spring wage talks. The labour ministry had said previously the result may not be significantly reflected in the wage statistics until summer. Smaller firms, which lack labour unions, are slower to implement pay hikes compared with larger corporations. Wage trends, crucial to sustaining the momentum in consumption, are among key factors the BOJ is monitoring to determine the timing of the next rate hike. The BOJ last week kept its short-term interest rate steady at 0.50%, and said Japan will see rising wages and prices push underlying inflation towards the central bank's 2% target. At the same time, the central bank downgraded its assessment of consumption for the first time since March last year, and warned it would stagnate for the time being, squeezed by higher prices. A labour ministry panel on Monday proposed a 6% increase in the national average minimum wage for this fiscal year, the biggest such jump since at least 2002. ($1 = 147.0800 yen)
