毋庸掩饰,2001年是过去数十年来全球化工行业境况最为艰辛的一年。该年第四季度,北美石化生产商陷入了历史最低谷。紧接着在2002年初,欧洲同行经历了同样的遭遇。2001年亚洲化工生产商也在痛苦挣扎,尤其是日本仍然在消沉下去。制造业的大幅衰退使化工公司疲于应对,这种情况一直维持到了2002年。在2001年电子和通讯市场出现了大滑坡,从而使专用化学品行业受到影响,汽车和建筑市场的低迷也拖累了化工行业。由于新药开发速度减慢以及制药行业在将新药推向市场时出现问题,精细化工的发展也受到影响。
It goes without saying that 2001 was the most difficult year for the global chemical industry in the past decades. In the fourth quarter of the year, North American petrochemical producers fell into the lowest point in history. Immediately after early 2002, European colleagues experienced the same experience. In 2001, Asian chemical manufacturers were also struggling. In particular, Japan is still declining. The sharp recession in the manufacturing industry caused the chemical companies to struggle to cope. This situation has been maintained until 2002. In 2001, the electronics and communications market experienced a major decline, which affected the specialty chemicals industry. The downturn in the automotive and construction markets also dragged down the chemical industry. The development of fine chemicals has also been affected due to the slowdown in the development of new drugs and the problems in the pharmaceutical industry in bringing new drugs to market.
