Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex
The company reported an 8% year-on-year increase in total production in 1403 (March 2024–March 2025). It also reported 5.7% of Iran’s petrochemical sales volume and 6.2% of sales value for that period.
Strategic and market-access role
Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex is one of the most important petrochemical nodes in the Hormuz Graph because it sits inside the Mahshahr–Bandar Imam industrial zone, close to export ports, feedstock networks, and Khuzestan’s broader oil-and-gas base. Its role connects chemicals, petrochemical materials, maritime exports, industrial utilities, technical labor, and sanctions-sensitive supply chains. The asset matters as a cluster anchor: it helps explain why Mahshahr is not just a port location, but a production, materials, and export platform for Iran’s downstream energy economy. The site’s position in the Bandar Imam Khomeini Petrochemical Special Economic Zone and proximity to export facilities support access to export-oriented petrochemical channels.
