據ICIS網站3月24日消息 美國化學委員會（ACC）的美國化學生產區域指數（US CPRI）在2月份月環比下跌3.6%，以三個月移動平均值（3MMA）為基礎。

化學工業貿易集團周三表示，在1月和12月分別上漲0.7%和1.3%之后，該指數出現下降。

由于冬季風暴中斷了美國墨西哥灣沿岸和該國其他依賴該地區原材料的區域的化學制品生產，所有地區的化學制品產量都有所下降。

墨西哥灣沿岸地區2月份的化學品產量比1月份下降了5.8%，這是自2008年9月以來最大的月度降幅。十

除消費品、人造纖維、化肥和其他特殊化學品外，所有類別的化學品產量都大幅下降。

石油化工和其他有機化學品以及塑料樹脂的產量下降幅度最大，無機化學品、涂料、粘合劑和農藥的產量下降幅度較小。

ACC稱，該指數較2020年2月同比下降3.8%，這是該指數連續第21個月同比下降，且較近期進展有所惡化。

US chem production index falls 3.6% in February on winter storm impact

The American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) US Chemical Production Regional Index (US CPRI) fell 3.6% month on month in February, as measured on a three-month moving average (3MMA) basis.

The decline came after gains of 0.7% and 1.3% in January and December, respectively, the chemical industry trade group said on Wednesday.

Chemical output fell in all regions as winter storms disrupted chemical production in the US Gulf Coast and other parts of the country that rely on raw materials from the region.

February chemical output for the Gulf Coast region fell 5.8% from January, the largest month on month decline since September 2008.

Chemical production fell sharply in all categories, except consumer products, manufactured fibres, fertilizers and other specialty chemicals.

The largest declines occurred in petrochemical and other organic chemicals and plastic resins, with smaller declines in the production of inorganic chemicals, coatings, adhesives and pesticides.

Year on year, the index fell 3.8% from February 2020 - the 21st consecutive month of year-on-year declines and a deterioration from recent progress, ACC said.
