Chang Yuzhi, a researcher in the chemical industry of China Investment Advisors, pointed out that although the number of global chemical M&A transactions and total market transactions both declined year-on-year in the second quarter of this year, the potential demand for M&A transactions remains strong due to the current development trend of the global chemical market. . On the one hand, some chemical companies have to strip off part of their business needs in order to adjust their product structure and business development direction.
On the other hand, most chemical companies in the world now have good assets and liabilities, and they have strong earnings performance. They also have the ability to conduct M&A transactions. For example, Bayer recently raised its sales and revenue forecast for 2011; LANXESS also increased its profit forecast for the full year 2011 based on the strong performance of the Group in the first half of the year; the DSM Group’s 2011 performance Very optimistic and so on.
In addition, chemical companies in developing countries such as China and India are keen on advanced technology from abroad, and also have the need to go to the international market, which will further enhance the activity of M&A transactions in the global chemical market. Taking China as an example, according to relevant data, in the first half of 2011, there were as many as 107 overseas M&A deals in mainland China, an increase of 14% compared to the same period of last year. It is expected that this growth trend will continue in the second half of this year, and the number of mergers and acquisitions in chemical and other industries may increase further.
The "Investment Analysis and Prospect Forecast Report for China's Petrochemical Industry 2011-2015" released by the China Investment Advisor shows that in recent years, the number of Chinese companies participating in overseas mergers and acquisitions has been increasing, and the areas involved have also been expanding. For example, chemicals, machinery manufacturing, food, clothing, household appliances and other industries are involved. With the further development of the social economy in the future, the number of M&A transactions in these industries will continue to increase.
