NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Petrochemicals are chemicals products derived from petroleum. They are also called petroleum distillates. Some of the same chemicals compounds as petrochemicals are also obtained from other fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or renewable sources such as corn or sugar cane but, but these are not included in the petrochemicals industry.
Petrochemicals was the largest segment in the chemicals sector with a XX% share of the global market.

Per capita consumption is increasing because of increased demand for polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene in industries such as the automotive, industrial manufacturing and packaging industries.
Petrochemical companies are increasingly using automation and instrumentation solutions to control the production process more effectively. Automation instruments include control valves, temperature transmitters, level transmitters, flow transmitters and pressure transmitters that help to improve an organizations operational efficiency. For example, Siemens process instrumentation and gas analytics solutions increases productivity and efficiency during plant operations.
