The petrochemical industry makes chemical products by processing oil and natural gas into basic building blocks like plastics, fertilizers, solvents and synthetic fibers — think of crude fuel being turned into the raw ingredients for everyday items. Investors care because this sector’s profits and growth track energy prices, feedstock availability and global demand for manufactured goods, so shifts in oil markets, regulations or trade can quickly change company revenues and supply-chain resilience.
