DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f0bbb1/oil_refining_trend) has announced the addition of the "Oil Refining Trends in Japan (2011-2015)" report to their offering.
Over the last few decades, the global oil refining industry has gone through many ups and downs. Historically, oil refining has been a low margin sector, with fewer investments, particularly in upgrading the existing capacity. However, in from the 1970s to the 1990s, there has been a considerable amount of investments in the sector; though the demand remained low due to the financial crisis in Asia and lower industrial growth worldwide. This resulted in surplus refining capacity worldwide during this period. In the last decade, despite heavy investments in the sector, this trend has started to reverse with growing demand in emerging economies like China, India and Brazil.
This report focuses on Japan's overall oil refining capacity and provides a detailed assessment of companies that are operating in the sector.
