Riding on Strong Demand and Rising Prices
Strong demand growth is a major factor contributing to increase in chemicals prices since 2002. The increase in chemical prices has to some extent offset the rising energy costs, and also has lead to an increase in income. Currently, demand is driven by an expanding global and domestic economy which is likely to be sustained, despite increasing oil prices. This upcoming research service, on the US chemicals and materials industry, analyses prevailing political and economic factors and its implication on the chemicals and materials industry for the period 1999 and 2008. It also presents a global and regional overview of the chemicals and materials industry.
