1月份全球化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量增長1.4%

據(jù)安迅思3月21日消息稱，根據(jù)美國化學(xué)委員會(ACC)收集和整理的數(shù)據(jù)，1月份全球化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量增長1.4%，增速略低于12月份，延續(xù)了6月份開始的全球復(fù)蘇勢頭。

1月份，所有地區(qū)的化學(xué)產(chǎn)品產(chǎn)量都有所增長?？傮w全球產(chǎn)量在3個月移動平均線基礎(chǔ)上同比增長9.5%。全球產(chǎn)出僅為2012年平均水平的129.0%。由于COVID-19大流行的爆發(fā)，一年前產(chǎn)出下降。

1月份，全球產(chǎn)能增長0.1%，同比增長2.0%。隨著產(chǎn)量的提高，全球化工行業(yè)產(chǎn)能利用率上升1.1個百分點，達(dá)到87.5%。這遠(yuǎn)高于去年1月的水平，也高于86.3%的長期平均值(1987-2019年)。在化學(xué)工業(yè)部門，1月份的結(jié)果是積極的，在所有部門的收益。考慮到上年同期的比較，所有部門的產(chǎn)量都出現(xiàn)了增長。

根據(jù)MRC的數(shù)據(jù)，美國化工生產(chǎn)地區(qū)指數(shù)(U.S. CPRI)繼去年12月和11月分別上漲1.4%和1.1%之后，今年1月上漲0.8%。1月份，幾乎所有地區(qū)的化學(xué)品產(chǎn)量都在增長。墨西哥灣沿岸地區(qū)漲幅最大，中西部、東南部、俄亥俄谷和東北地區(qū)漲幅較小。大西洋中部地區(qū)產(chǎn)量持平，西海岸產(chǎn)量小幅下降。

正如MRC早些時候通知的那樣，2021年1月在美國和加拿大的高密度聚乙烯（LDPE）銷售額與去年同期相比增長了3.8％。同期LDPE產(chǎn)量增長5.2%。出口下降0.7%，但總銷售增長2.3%。

與此同時，2021年1月高密聚乙烯(HDPE)在美國和加拿大的銷量同比增長了5%。同期，HDPE產(chǎn)量增長了1％。隨著美國制造業(yè)活動的持續(xù)增長，自2020年下半年以來，耐用消費品的需求一直強(qiáng)勁，HDPE的國內(nèi)需求在最近幾個月有所增強(qiáng)。

Global chemicals output rose 1.4% in January

Global chemicals production rose 1.4% in January, a slightly slower pace than December and continuing the global recovery that began in June, according to data collected and tabulated by the American Chemistry Council (ACC).

During January, chemical production grew across all regions. Headline global production was up 9.5% year-over-year (Y/Y) on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis. Global output stood at 129.0% of its average 2012 levels. Output was down a year ago due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During January, global capacity rose 0.1% and was up 2.0% Y/Y. With improving production, capacity utilization in the global chemical industry rose 1.1 points, to 87.5%. This is well above last January and above the long-term (1987-2019) average of 86.3%. Among chemical industry segments, January results were positive, with gains across all segments. Considering year-earlier comparisons, production gains occurred in all segments.

As per MRC, the U.S. Chemical Production Regional Index (U.S. CPRI) rose 0.8% in January following a 1.4% gain in December and a 1.1% gain in November. During January, chemical output expanded in nearly all regions. The Gulf Coast region showed the largest gain, with smaller gains seen in the Midwest, Southeast, Ohio Valley, and Northeast regions. Output was flat in the Mid-Atlantic region and edged lower in the West Coast.

As MRC informed earlier, sales of high density polyethylene (LDPE) in the United States and Canada rose 3.8% in January 2021 compared to the same month a year earlier. While the production of LDPE grew by 5.2% over the same period of time. Total sales increased by 2.3%, despite a 0.7% decline in export sales.

At the same time, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sales in the United States and Canada were up 5% in January 2021 from the same month in the prior year. HDPE production increased by 1% over the same period. Domestic demand for HDPE has strengthened in recent months as demand for consumer durables has been strong since the second half of 2020 amid continued growth in manufacturing activity in the United States.
