Rising oil prices have two fold effects on chemical industry. Natural gas and petroleum are the basic building blocks in the manufacture of petrochemicals like ethylene and propylene.

Hence the cost of raw materials rises. The second effect is rising prices, which also has a negative impact on the overall economy and as a result manufacturers, agriculture firms, construction companies and automakers curtail their chemical purchases. So while costs for raw materials used in chemicals are rising, the prices for those chemicals can fall to match the reduced demand.
