Abstract
This paper attempts to address the complex question of petrochemical raw materials’ future role in supplying the soap and detergent industry. The following points are emphasized: (a) The basic resource oil and natural gas, although not in unlimited quantities as in the past, will be available in the future, (b) The petrochemical industry will continue to receive its required share of the available petroleum resources, and the detergent industry will continue to receive the feedstocks they require, (c) The cost pressures which will be impacting the surfactant manufacturers will be similar to the overall inflation rates affecting the entire economy.
