據能源新聞9月25日消息稱，據Kallanish Energy報道，美國8月份化學生產區域指數上漲0.6%。

美國化學理事會表示，7月增長1.0％，6月下降1.4％。

美國CPRI是按三個月移動平均水平衡量的。

8月份，除西海岸外，所有地區的化學品產量都有所增加，因為該行業正努力從疫情影響中恢復過來。

與2019年8月相比，美國化學品產量同比下降4.8%，這是連續第15個月同比下降。

但ACC說，這在過去幾個月里是一個進步。

在美國，化學工業市值達5650億美元，是美國最大的工業之一。

制造業是化學品的最大使用者，96%的制成品涉及化學品。

US chemical production up 0.6% in August: ACC

The U.S. Chemical Production Regional Index rose 0.6% in August, Kallanish Energy reports.

That follows a 1.0% increase in July and a 1.4% decline in June, according to the American Chemistry Council.

The US CPRI is measured on a three-month moving average basis.

During August, chemical output expanded in all regions except the West Coast as the industry struggles to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

Compared to August 2019, U.S. chemical production was down 4.8% on a year-over-year basis, the 15th consecutive month of year-over-year declines.

But that was an improvement over the last several months, the ACC said.

The chemical industry is a $565 billion enterprise in the U.S., making it one of the country’s largest industries.

Manufacturing is the largest user of chemicals and 96% of manufactured goods involve chemicals.
