“The structural contradictions in the chemical industry are still prominent, and the pressure on the upgrading and transformation of the industry is increasing. In the second half of the year, new domestic production capacity will be released intensively, and the market competition will be more intense,” the China-based energy firm added. “However, China's economy is expected to achieve better growth. On the whole, it is estimated that the production capacity increment will be slightly higher than the demand increment, and the gross profit of chemical products will be narrowed.”
