The Turkmen chemicals industry is small. There is potential for a large export-oriented petrochemical sector to develop in the country in view of its huge oil and gas resources, and its relatively small domestic market.
Now Turkmenistan meets much of its needs for plastics and other petrochemical products through imports from Russia and Ukraine. The government aims to change this situation in the coming years. It envisages that the country's petrochemical sector would grow in parallel with the increase in oil and gas production. The largest chemical complex in Turkmenistan is located at Maryazot. This is to be modernised and expanded under a project announced in June 2002.
