Germanys chemical industry is grappling with a significant downturn, with a 22% drop in revenue since 2022, reaching €220 billion. High energy costs, particularly natural gas, and recent global events have contributed to this decline. Major players like BASF are cutting costs domestically while investing abroad, leading to job losses. Experts attribute this to weak economic demand in Europe and high energy prices. The focus now shifts to government action to ensure competitive energy prices and reliable infrastructure. The industry fears further production shifts abroad, impacting Europes supply of essential materials.
