Organic Chemical Manufacturing industry revenue tends to rise when industrial activity improves, and downstream manufacturers respond to growing demand by purchasing more raw materials in anticipation of greater production. Revenue has been volatile, especially in 2020, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, which caused an economic slowdown. Despite the unprecedented losses faced in 2020 and 2021, industry-wide revenue still grew at a CAGR of 2.7% to $168.0 billion over the past five years, despite a 5.2% decrease in 2023, supported by an improving business environment and rising commodity prices.
