​​Our investment case

We are leader in premium solutions in a robust industry environment

​​As a leader in premium polyolefin solutions, our sales volume in the Consumer Solutions and Infrastructure segments totaled 2.5 million tons (59%) and 1.7 million tons (41%), respectively, in 2021 (excluding sales to the mobility and healthcare industries). During the same period, our polymer products were mainly sold across Asia (59%) and the Middle East and Africa (33%), with 9% sold to other international markets. With growing global demand expected to exceed supply from 2022 to 2026, we are well-positioned to meet demand and target the largest and fastest growing geographies.

 
 

We own and operate a highly attractive polyolefins production platform.

​​We have increased our production capacity by 10x from 2001 to Q1 2022 to reach 5 million tons, with all expansion projects completed on time and on budget. Meanwhile, we operate a young and well-maintained asset base with limited maintenance capital expenditure levels, which further enhances our production capacity. In 2021, our overall asset reliability run-rate was 96%.

​​Combined with our advantageous long-term feedstock supply contract with ADNOC, and Borealis’ proprietary Borstar® technology, these factors position us within the first quartile of the global cost curve.

 
 

Innovation, technology and direct access to target markets

​​Our shareholder Borealis’ proprietary technology enables our industry-leading innovation capabilities. For 20 years, we have leveraged our relationship with Borealis, including access to Borstar® technology, technical know-how, innovation capabilities, exchange of in-depth knowledge and best practices on commercial and operational excellence.

Borstar® technology allows for the production of tailored solutions to fulfil the specific needs of our customers. This supports our focus on premium price end-markets through a differentiated product offering. We have a team of approximately 100 research and development personnel, including scientists and researchers, and over 20% of our sales volume in 2021 was generated by products that were less than 5 years old.

​​Borouge owns and operates one of the world’s largest integrated polyolefin complexes in Al Ruwais Industrial City​, UAE, with a diverse regional footprint of logistics hubs in the UAE and nine international locations. In addition, we operate warehouses and gateways across MENA, Europe, and Asia, which provide an extensive direct sales network covering approximately 85% of sales volumes.

 
 

Our superior products yield premium prices

We regularly review our product portfolio, including segmentation and differentiation, assessing a range of factors including the premium above benchmark achieved, market opportunity, technical complexity and entry barrier. We define differentiated products as those having high technical performance, high entry barriers, high premium (above $100 per ton) and high growth market opportunity.

We estimate that approximately 80% of our polyolefin products are differentiated. This has been achieved through our integrated go-to market approach driving customer value-add, our use of Borstar® technology and continued strive for innovation.

 
 

Robust financial profile

​​The combination of our market-leading position, diversified global footprint, operational excellence and strong cost discipline has enabled us to enjoy strong operating profitability and cash flows.
