German chemical sector faces crisis
The chemical manufacturing sector in Germany is suffering from a deep structural crisis, despite a temporary improvement caused by regional geopolitical conditions. Production rates declined by 3% in the first half of 2026, and the German Association predicts a 1.5% decrease in production for the year. This is due to rising costs, declining sales, and increasing global competition. Although there have been some positive developments, such as stockpiles resulting from the US-Israel war on Iran, experts expect the sector to return to its fundamental challenges once commodity inventories diminish, as pressures on the industry continue.
