How Sustainable is Demand for Chemicals?

November 3, 2009

Ian Davenport, President, Davenport Associates

Manufacturers boost hopes of economic revival | www.ft.com

Demand has recently been boosted artificially by incentives such as 'cash for clunkers'. 2008 ended dreadfully, companies are terrified of another crash in demand. Caution is justified.

Chemical Companies remain Cautious on the Outlook

October 31, 2009

Paul Hodges, Chairman, International eChem

Chemical Companies face Bumpy Road in 2010

October 17, 2009

Paul Hodges, Chairman, International eChem

10,000: Then and Now | www.nytimes.com

2010 should be a better year for the chemical industry, as demand grows in line with a recovery in global GDP. But a quick V-shaped return to the 2003-7 Boom years in terms of volumes/margins seems unlikely.
