This research purposed to examine projected demand for petrochemicals after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was a quantitative research with the exploratory and descriptive approach; spesifically using forecasting methods (Vector Autoregressive (VAR)). VAR is a multivariate forecasting model used to build a forecasting system from interrelated time series data. The results of the analysis prediction shows that the demand for petrochemicals will increase starting in 2021.
