???? 據ICIS-MRC網站3月3日莫斯科報道，根據CISION引用美國化學委員會(ACC)的數據顯示，美國化學生產區(qū)域指數(US CPRI)繼去年12月和11月分別上漲1.4%和1.1%后，今年1月上漲0.8%。

????1月份，幾乎所有地區(qū)的化學品產量都有所增加。墨西哥灣沿岸地區(qū)漲幅最大，中西部、東南部、俄亥俄谷和東北地區(qū)漲幅較小。大西洋中部地區(qū)產量持平，西海岸產量小幅下降。美國CPRI是以三個月移動平均水平(3MMA)為基礎計算的。

????以3MMA為基準，氯堿，肥料，有機化學品，合成橡膠，塑料樹脂，人造纖維，工業(yè)氣體以及合成染料和顏料的化學生產繼續(xù)增長。 涂料，粘合劑，農作物保護，消費品和其他特種化學品的產量緩解了。

????由于幾乎所有的制成品都是使用某種形式的化學物質生產的，所以制造業(yè)活動是化學品需求的一個重要指標。1月份，制造業(yè)連續(xù)第六個月復蘇，整體制造業(yè)活動增長1.0%(3MMA)。

????與2020年1月相比，美國化學品產量同比下降0.6％，是連續(xù)第20個月同比下降，但與年初相比顯示出持續(xù)的增長。 除墨西哥灣沿岸地區(qū)（年同比增長2.5％）外，所有地區(qū)的化學品產量均低于一年前。

????US chemical production rises 0.8% in January - ACC

????The US Chemical Production Regional Index (US CPRI) rose 0.8% in January following a 1.4% gain in December and a 1.1% gain in November, according to CISION with reference to the American Chemistry Council (ACC).

????During January, chemical output expanded in nearly all regions. The Gulf Coast region showed the largest gain, with smaller gains seen in the Midwest, Southeast, Ohio Valley, and Northeast regions. Output was flat in the Mid-Atlantic region and edged lower in the West Coast. The US CPRI is measured on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis.

????Chemical production continued to expand in chlor-alkali, fertilizers, organic chemicals, synthetic rubber, plastic resins, manufactured fibers, industrial gases, and synthetic dyes and pigments, measured on a 3MMA basis. Production eased for coatings, adhesives, crop protection, consumer products, and other specialty chemicals.

????As nearly all manufactured goods are produced using chemistry in some form, manufacturing activity is an important indicator for chemical demand. The manufacturing recovery continued for a sixth consecutive month in January, with overall factory activity up by 1.0% (3MMA).

????Compared with January 2020, US chemical production remained off by 0.6% on a year-over-year (Y/Y) basis, the twentieth straight month of Y/Y declines, but showed continued improvement compared with earlier in the year. Chemical production remained lower than a year ago in all regions except in the Gulf Coast region, which was up 2.5% Y/Y.
