2月份全球化学品产量上升1.4%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据ICIS-MRC网站4月6日莫斯科报道，据美国化学委员会（ACC）日前表示，2月份全球化学品产量增长1.4%，增速略低于1月份。

    ACC的全球化学生产指数(CPRI)衡量了33个主要国家、次区域和地区的化学工业产量，所有这些都与世界总量相结合。在2月期间，大多数区域的产量都很低，独立国家联合体和亚太区域的化学产品产量有所增加。

    按三个月移动平均值（3MMA）计算，全球总产量同比增长14.4%。全球产量为2012年平均水平的132%。全球产能增长0.2%，同比增长1.9%。随着生产能力利用率的提高，全球化学工业的利用率上升了一个百分点，达到89.2%，高于2月份的水平。

    二月中旬的冰冻天气影响了北美的化学制品产量。该地区的产量下降了3.3%，墨西哥的生产活动有所改善，加拿大的生产疲软。与去年同期美国、加拿大和墨西哥的下降相比，该地区的活动下降了3.9%。

    Global chemical output rises by 1.4% in February

    Global chemical output rose by 1.4% in February, at a slightly slower pace than January, said American Chemistry Council (ACC).

    The ACC’s Global Chemical Production Index (CPRI) measures the production volume of the chemical industry for 33 key nations, sub-regions, and regions, all aggregated to the world total. During February, output was weak in most regions, with chemical production increasing in the Commonwealth of Independent States and in the Asia-Pacific region.

    Headline global production was up 14.4% year on year on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis. Global output stood at 132% of its average 2012 levels. Global capacity rose 0.2% and was up 1.9% year on year. With improving production capacity utilisation in the global chemical industry rose one point to 89.2%, above February levels.

    The effects of the mid-February freeze influenced chemical production in North America. Production fell by 3.3% in the region, with activity improved in Mexico and soft in Canada. Regional activity was down by 3.9% year on year with year-earlier declines in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
