据ICIS网站4月23日消息 法国贸易组织France Chimie本周表示，2020年法国的化学品销售额同比下降15%，部分原因是该国化妆品行业受到了疫情导致的流动性限制的冲击。

　　法国化学品生产商（包括药品生产商）在2020年售出的商品价值为684亿欧元。

　　销售额下降15%远大于年内产量下降8%，反映出许多化学品的销售价格下降。

　　2020年法国国内生产总值同比下降8.2%。

　　尽管销售额和数量下降，但根据国家集体谈判协议，该行业的就业人数增加了0.8%，达到22万人。

　　与德国出口密集型的化学品行业不同，法国的化学品仍然以其国内市场为主要消费市场。

　　2020年商品销售总额为684亿，在法国售出588亿欧元。

　　France Chimie表示：“一些（化学品子行业）直接受到建筑行业关闭、化妆品分销网络关闭以及（从2020年3月开始）第一次限制期间汽车、零售或航空业发展放缓的影响。”

　　法国的化学工业仍然是欧洲的第二大工业，仅次于德国，后者在2020年的销售额达到了1864亿欧元。

　　西班牙的化学工业在过去十年里一直在迎头赶上，其化学工业是西班牙建筑或汽车等基础雄厚行业的关键供应商。

　　西班牙贸易集团FEIQUE尚未公布2020年的销售和生产数据，但最新的可用数据显示，2019年为620亿欧元，由于2020年西班牙国内生产总值下降了10.8%，2020年的总量可能会大幅下降。

　　France’s chemicals sales fall 15% in 2020 on hit to specialty chemicals

　　France’s chemicals sales fell 15% in 2020, year on year, due in part to the country’s cosmetics sector taking a hit from pandemic-induced restrictions to mobility, the country’s trade group France Chimie said this week.

　　French chemicals producers – including pharmaceuticals – sold in 2020 goods worth €68.4bn.

　　The fall of 15% in sales was much larger than the 8% decrease in production during the year, reflecting lower selling prices for many chemicals.

　　France's GDP fell 8.2% in 2020, year on year.

　　Despite the fall in sales and volumes, employment in the industry rose 0.8% to 220,000 workers under the national collective bargaining agreement.

　　France’s chemicals continues to have its domestic market as its main consumer, unlike Germany’s export-intensive chemicals industry.

　　Of the total €68.4bn sold in goods in 2020, €58.8bn were sold in France.

　　“Some [chemicals subsectors] were directly impacted by the shutdowns of the construction sector, the closure of cosmetics distribution networks, and the slowdown in automotive, retail, or aeronautics during the first confinement [started in March 2020],” said France Chimie.

　　France’s chemicals industry remains as the second largest in Europe, behind Germany’s which in 2020 sold goods worth €186.4bn.

　　Spain’s chemicals industry has been catching up in the past decade, with its chemicals sector a key provider to sectors with strong base in Spain like construction or automotive.

　　Spanish trade group FEIQUE has yet to publish 2020 sales and production figures, but the latest available data showed chemicals sales at €62bn in 2019; the 2020 total is likely to be sharply lower as Spain's GDP fell by 10.8% in 2020.
