According to media reports, Iran exported 11.742 million tons of petrochemicals in the first seven months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20-October 21). National Petrochemical Company (NPC) reported that total petrochemical output in Iran was around 28.753 million tons during this period. Iran has the capacity to produce over 63 million tons/year and this is expected to rise to 130 million tons by 2025.
The rise in petrochemical production and exports is attributed to the removal of international sanctions.
