Global Chemical Processing Coverage

Energy transition initiatives continue to play a significant role in driving large investments in the Chemical Processing Industry. Historical levels of project spending are planned to produce green and blue hydrogen, ammonia and even methanol to achieve decarbonization goals - over $400 billion in 2025 and 2026. These investments are being driven by corporate decarbonization goals while also capitalizing on the traditional uses of these petrochemical commodities. Demand for chemicals continues to rise even as geopolitical stresses, war conflicts, inflation costs and similar obstacles challenge producers. There are 7.8 billion pounds per year of new ethylene capacity planned to come online globally prior to the end of 2026, promoting billions in new investments for downstream polyolefin commodities.

Industrial Info’s research teams monitor these and other trends influencing future spending and comprehensively report both capital and maintenance spending planned globally.
