1月份全球化学品产量增长1.4%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思3月21日消息称，根据美国化学委员会(ACC)收集和整理的数据，1月份全球化学品产量增长1.4%，增速略低于12月份，延续了6月份开始的全球复苏势头。

    1月份，所有地区的化学产品产量都有所增长。总体全球产量在3个月移动平均线基础上同比增长9.5%。全球产出仅为2012年平均水平的129.0%。由于COVID-19大流行的爆发，一年前产出下降。

    1月份，全球产能增长0.1%，同比增长2.0%。随着产量的提高，全球化工行业产能利用率上升1.1个百分点，达到87.5%。这远高于去年1月的水平，也高于86.3%的长期平均值(1987-2019年)。在化学工业部门，1月份的结果是积极的，在所有部门的收益。考虑到上年同期的比较，所有部门的产量都出现了增长。

    根据MRC的数据，美国化工生产地区指数(U.S. CPRI)继去年12月和11月分别上涨1.4%和1.1%之后，今年1月上涨0.8%。1月份，几乎所有地区的化学品产量都在增长。墨西哥湾沿岸地区涨幅最大，中西部、东南部、俄亥俄谷和东北地区涨幅较小。大西洋中部地区产量持平，西海岸产量小幅下降。

    正如MRC早些时候通知的那样，2021年1月在美国和加拿大的高密度聚乙烯（LDPE）销售额与去年同期相比增长了3.8％。同期LDPE产量增长5.2%。出口下降0.7%，但总销售增长2.3%。

    与此同时，2021年1月高密聚乙烯(HDPE)在美国和加拿大的销量同比增长了5%。同期，HDPE产量增长了1％。随着美国制造业活动的持续增长，自2020年下半年以来，耐用消费品的需求一直强劲，HDPE的国内需求在最近几个月有所增强。

    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.
