Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The DACH region's Chemical Processing Industry witnessed a sharp rise in capital investments in 2021, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2022 is expected to see similarly positive development. The DACH region includes Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Industrial Info is tracking 34 grassroot capital-spending projects in the DACH region's Chemical Processing Industry, worth more than US$2.4 billion, which are planned to be completed within the next five to eight years.

With demand on the rise in Europe for sustainable and recyclable chemicals, UPM Group (Helsinki, Finland) and PCC SE (Duisburg, Germany) plan to invest more than US$500 million each in grassroot chemical projects in Germany. PCC SE plans to begin construction on its ethylene oxide complex by the end of this year, with completion in three years. UPM Group plans to complete its bio-mono ethylene complex by the end of 2022.
