2020年欧盟化学品产量预计持平

     据安迅思12月17日消息，欧洲化工委员会（Cefic）周二表示，由于不利的贸易环境和政治不确定性继续打压需求，预计2019年欧盟化学品产量同比将下降1%，2020年预计与2019年持平。

    今年的行业需求受到宏观经济增长放缓等不确定性的影响，这些因素都削弱了包括汽车和家电行业在内的化工关键终端市场的产量。

    对化工生产商来说，建筑行业已经被证实是低迷市场中的一个亮点，因为低利率和高基础设施需求使建筑行业实现了健康增长，预计这种增长将持续到明年。

    Cefic预计2020年欧盟化学品行业的总体增长不会超过2019年的水平，因为持续的贸易困难和政治不确定性看来将抵消实际收入增长推动的制成品需求上升。

    EU chems 2020 output expected flat after 1% decline in 2019 - Cefic

    EU chemicals production is expected to have fallen 1% in 2019, year on year, with no growth expected in 2020 as uncertainty continue to weigh on demand, EU trade group Cefic said on Tuesday.

    Sector demand this year was weakened by slower macroeconomic growth, trade conflicts and Brexit uncertainty, all sapping output in key end markets including the automotive and electrical appliances sectors.

    Construction output has proven a brighter spot for producers as low interest rates and high infrastructure demand allowed the sector healthy growth in output, which is expected to continue into next year.

    Overall 2020 chemicals sector growth in the region is not expected to exceed 2019 levels next year, as continued trade difficulties and political uncertainty look set to counterbalance an uptick in manufactured goods demand driven by rising real incomes.
