IIR Webinar to Discuss Increase in Chemicals Demand as Economies Reopen

SUGAR LAND--April 27, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Demand for chemicals, especially for plastics, is particularly high right now due to factors stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recovery. Trey Hamblet, Industrial Info's vice president of research for the Chemical Processing Industry, says: "Demand for chemicals has changed drastically since the pandemic began and has increased in recent months as economies have started to reopen. We have witnessed an increase in the consumption of single-use plastics, linked partially to a sharp surge for shipping and packaging materials plus for the manufacture of personal protective equipment. These changes in demand and consumption trends will play a key role in the how quickly new polyolefins capacity is developed over the next several years."

These are some of the aspects of the industry that will be discussed in Industrial Info's upcoming complimentary webinar on the spending outlook for the global Chemical Processing Industry on Wednesday, April 28, at 10 a.m. CDT (11 a.m. EDT).
