Having passed through one of the worst economic environments in recent history, the chemical industry is turning the corner. Chemical companies are again generating profits as demand improves and volumes rise. Chemical companies are cautiously optimistic that the industry may be coming out of a recession, driven by growth from emerging economies in Asia and Latin America.
This year’s conference will explore these issues and more:
- Where the industry is headed.
- Opportunities in the emerging recovery and risks in these shaky times.
- What recovery will look like, and where it will come from.
- How companies have positioned, or are positioning, themselves for growth and sustainability, particularly in emerging markets.
- Financial and credit market outlook.
- M&A outlook.
