摘要

Washington-The American Chemistry Council (ACC), in its Mid-Year 2020 Chemical Industry Situation and Outlook, said data suggests that the global recession may have bottomed out, yet the 2020 outlook is one of the "poorest" in decades. According to ACC's projections, production volumes, shipments and capital spending will drop due to economic and business disruption caused by COVID-19. A rebound in 2021 is projected; however, significant uncertainty remains.
