The content of this section is voluntary, unaudited information, which was critically read by the auditor.
We expect global GDP growth of 2.6% and industrial growth of 2.4%. Demand for goods is therefore expected to have a somewhat stronger significance for economic development than in 2024. In this economic environment, we expect chemical production to grow by 3.0%. The macroeconomic risks are high in view of geopolitical conflicts and increasing protectionist tendencies.
