Econ people, what does THIS mean..?

"...demand for petrochemicals used in plastic will grow overall demand for oil. "

I don't mean the grammar, I mean I don't understand the supply and demand of this.

I think it means gas is a feed stock for petrochemicals....thus you get oil sometimes when drilling for gas..thus more oil..

Read it like this:

Growth in the demand for petrochemicals used in plastic will increase overall demand for oil.

It’s hip to use terms like “grow the economy” though its grammatically incorrect.
