德国上季度化学品产量增长9.2%

据ICIS网站3月16日消息 第四季度德国化学品产量（不包括制药行业）较第三季度增长9.2%，主要受客户补充库存的影响，但行业机构VCI表示，2021年初的情况更具挑战性。

希望在年底前补充空仓库的客户有助于推动化学品的复苏步伐，与2019年的收官月份相比，产量也大幅提高。

包括制药行业在内，行业总生产率水平季度环比小幅放缓至7.4%，与2020年7-9月季度相比，定价稳定在0.4%。

不过，第四季度化学品价格仍同比下降近2%。

Germany's chems Q4 production jumps 9.2% but Q1 more challenging - VCI

German chemicals production excluding the pharmaceutical sector jumped 9.2% in the fourth quarter, compared to the third, on the back of customer restocking but industry body VCI said conditions at the start of 2021 have been more challenging.

Customers looking to replenish empty warehouses toward the end of the year helped to galvanise the pace of recovery for chemicals, with production also substantially higher compared to the closing months of 2019.

Including the pharmaceutical sector, the level total sector productivity moderated slightly to 7.4% quarter on quarter, with pricing firming 0.4% compared to the July-September 2020 quarter.

However, chemicals prices remained in the fourth quarter nearly 2% lower year on year.
