據ICIS-MRC網站4月6日莫斯科報道，據美國化學委員會（ACC）日前表示，2月份全球化學品產量增長1.4%，增速略低于1月份。

ACC的全球化學生產指數(CPRI)衡量了33個主要國家、次區域和地區的化學工業產量，所有這些都與世界總量相結合。在2月期間，大多數區域的產量都很低，獨立國家聯合體和亞太區域的化學產品產量有所增加。

按三個月移動平均值（3MMA）計算，全球總產量同比增長14.4%。全球產量為2012年平均水平的132%。全球產能增長0.2%，同比增長1.9%。隨著生產能力利用率的提高，全球化學工業的利用率上升了一個百分點，達到89.2%，高于2月份的水平。

二月中旬的冰凍天氣影響了北美的化學制品產量。該地區的產量下降了3.3%，墨西哥的生產活動有所改善，加拿大的生產疲軟。與去年同期美國、加拿大和墨西哥的下降相比，該地區的活動下降了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.
