據MRCHUB網站6月1日報道，據Chemengonline稱，全球和美國4月份化學品產量上升，標志著又一個月的增量增長。根據美國化學委員會（ACC）的數據顯示，全球化工生產區域指數（Global CPRI）繼3月份修正后實現1.5%增長，4月份又增長0.4%。

在美國，4月份美國化學工業生產區域指數(U.S. CPRI)上升0.5%。這兩個指數都是以三個月移動平均線(3MMA)為基礎來衡量的，以減少月度波動。

ACC首席經濟學家瑪莎·摩爾(Martha Moore)表示，4月份，除南美以外，所有地區的化學品產量都有所增長。與去年同期相比，盡管全球產量仍低于去年同期，但歐洲、亞太地區、非洲和中東的產量卻有所增加。

ACC表示，在美國，4月份的產量增長反映了幾種化學品市場的改善，特別是那些在第一季度因惡劣天氣和煉油廠維修而導致生產中斷的化學品。

Global and U.S. chemical production trended higher in April, ACC says

Marking another month of incremental gains, global and U.S. chemical production rose in April. According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC; Washington, D.C.), the Global Chemical Production Regional Index (Global CPRI) rose by 0.4% in April following a revised 1.5 % increase in March, said Chemengonline.

In the U.S., the U.S. Chemical Production Regional Index (U.S. CPRI) rose 0.5% in April. Both indices are measured on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis to reduce month-to-month volatility.

“Chemical output increased in April for all regions except South America,” said Martha Moore, ACC’s chief economist. “On a year-over-year basis, while global production remained lower compared to a year ago, output was higher in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa & Middle East.”

In the U.S., April’s gain reflects improvement across several chemistries, especially those recovering from production outages during Q1 due to bad weather and maintenance to refineries, says ACC.
