#13 In EuropeBefore the pandemic, the Basic Chemical Manufacturing industry enjoyed a period of strong demand, particularly from Asia. Innovation in speciality chemicals and sustainability initiatives gained momentum, helping raise profitability. When the pandemic hit, supply chains were greatly disrupted while industrial output stumbled until socially distanced factory guidelines were adopted. As industrial output ramped up, manufacturers' revenue benefited from pent-up demand and government fiscal packages, leading to substantial infrastructure spending and stimulus. Russia's invasion of Ukraine added another spanner to works, though, with energy and feedstuff prices skyrocketing as a result of western countries' sanctions on Russian exports. Production costs escalated and business and consumer confidence was shot by rising living costs, denting demand throughout 2022 and 2023. Profitability has also been hit hard by soaring operational costs, which manufacturers have struggled to pass on to clients.
