From February's performance report released by major multinational companies in the world, although 2011 was a remarkable year for global chemical development, the industry still maintained a high profit. This is mainly due to the emerging, special and innovative engines that were launched several years ago. Multinational companies have remained cautiously optimistic about the prospects for this year: Although the market is difficult to improve in the first quarter, it is firmly believed that the second half of the year will usher in a turning point. The series of earthquakes in Japan, the turmoil in North Africa, the continued development of the European debt crisis, the downgrade of US sovereign debt, the global consumer and investor confidence frustration, and the unfavorable factors such as high prices of raw materials and primary products fluctuate, have caused the world economy to recover by twists and turns.

Foresighted multinational companies adjusted their development strategies as early as a few years ago, shifted their investment focus to emerging countries and regions, and responded to global climate, energy, population, and environmental challenges, built on their strengths and avoided assets, operated assets, strengthened innovation, and developed downstream. As a high-tech company with advantages and characteristics, it has achieved continuous growth in its performance. BASF's strategy of “creating new roles in chemistry†pursues profitable growth. According to this strategy, BASF will focus on the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese market, and continue to invest in Greater China. It has also received substantial returns. Greater China sales in 2011 exceeded 6.5 billion euros, a record high. BASF also increased the production of specialty chemicals. Sales of specialty products increased by 28% for the year to 15.7 billion euros.

PolyOne spun off the SunBelt chlor-alkali business in 2011 and acquired Carlsberg, the Brazilian company of Uniplen and global leader in additive and liquid colorant technology, ushering in an important turning point in its specialization process. BASF’s annual report looks forward to 2012: If the average Brent crude oil price is US$110 per barrel and the global economic growth maintains 2.7% of the previous year's level, the global chemical production value will increase steadily by 4.1%. BASF Executive Board Chairman Dr. Bokeci said: “We believe that the global economy will grow slowly in the early part of 2012, and will accelerate afterwards. However, the serious sovereign debt crisis, especially the European and US debt crisis, makes the economic outlook uncertain, and the economic development. It has an adverse effect; the growth momentum of the chemical industry still mainly comes from emerging markets." Dow Chong, chairman and chief executive of Dow Chemical, said: “We will continue to pay close attention to the global economic development trend. It is expected that the difficulties faced by Western Europe will continue in the near term; it is expected that there will be no substantial improvement in the market situation in the first quarter of this year. However, we are convinced that the economy will gradually recover in the second half of the year. In this situation, our focus will be mainly on implementation, and we will continue to strive to achieve Dow's growth goals." Dr. Daix, CEO of Bayer Group, is full of confidence in the future development of the company: “Bayer Group expects overall sales growth in 2012 to be about 3%, and EBITDA will achieve a small increase, mainly due to the growth of the healthcare and crop science business; The current market situation is difficult, and the benefits of materials technology may be equal to 2011."

In 2012, the international economic situation is even more complicated. The “World Economic Situation and Prospects for 2012†report issued by the United Nations at the beginning of this year pointed out that the economies of developed economies are mired in a quagmire, and that emerging economies cannot do their own thing. In addition to the high international oil prices brought about by the recent Iranian nuclear crisis, uncertainties have increased. Some chemical companies have made cautious expectations for this year's outlook.
