A silent contest, who will lead the future chemical trend?
In this era of rapid change, the chemical industry, as an important pillar of the global economy, not only represents the strength of the enterprise, but also the epitome of the country's scientific and technological innovation capabilities. When the sun shines on the list of "2024 Global Chemical Brand Value 50" released by Brand Finance, a United Kingdom brand evaluation agency, a battle between glory and dreams quietly staged.
At the moment of glory, China's power shines on the global stage!
Let us turn our attention to the dazzling Chinese red - Rongsheng Petrochemical, as the only Chinese brand among the top ten, it is not only the leader of China's petrochemical private enterprises, but also a dark horse in the global chemical field. The brand value is as high as 3.06 billion US dollars, a year-on-year surge of 19.5%, behind this figure, is the strong layout of Rongsheng Petrochemical's eight production clusters, from polyester to new energy, from high-end polyolefin to special rubber, it covers almost every corner of the chemical industry, and truly realizes the grand blueprint of "from a drop of oil to everything in the world".
In particular, its global leading position in the field of PTA (purified terephthalic acid) and the world's largest refining and chemical integration project built by Zhejiang Petrochemical in the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area demonstrate the ambition and strength of China's chemical enterprises. Saudi Aramco's strategic investment has given Rongsheng Petrochemical international wings, and the deepening of cooperation between the two sides indicates that there will be more possibilities in the future.
BASF's 10th consecutive championship, the persistence and change behind it!
When it comes to chemistry and chemical industry, how can you not mention BASF? Founded in 1865, the Germany giant has been the world's most valuable chemical brand for ten consecutive years. The brand value reached 9.25 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 10.6%, which is not only the accumulation of numbers, but also the result of BASF's unremitting efforts in technological innovation, market expansion and cost control.
In the face of the challenges of the global market, BASF did not choose to back down, but actively responded to them. From Ludwigshafen, Germany, to 234 production sites in 93 countries around the world, BASF is taking action to explain the true meaning of "globalization". In China, a market with huge potential, BASF has been deeply cultivated, and its 139-year history has made BASF an indispensable part of the Chinese chemical industry.
Looking ahead, the construction of BASF's Zhanjiang Verbund site is undoubtedly another milestone in BASF's development in China. The completion of this project will not only further enhance BASF's global competitiveness, but also inject new vitality into the chemical industry in China and around the world.
Whether it is the sudden rise of Rongsheng Petrochemical or BASF's ten consecutive championships, we have seen the infinite possibilities of the chemical industry. In this era full of opportunities and challenges, only by continuous innovation and the courage to open up can we remain invincible in the fierce competition.
Let us all hope that these leaders in the field of chemistry and chemical industry can continue to lead the industry and contribute to the sustainable development of the world. At the same time, readers and friends are also welcome to like and share, and witness this feast of chemistry and chemical industry together!
