Industry Overview

Mexico accounts for a mere 0.8% of the global chemicals market. The figure is very low considering the nation's abundant resources. Mexico's chemicals industry produces industrial chemicals, agrochemicals, plastics, cosmetics and paints and coatings. The coil coatings market is one of the fastest-growing segments in the industry. In Q306, the country's chemicals production increased 11% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q). BASF Mexico (Mexican subsidiary of Germany-based BASF), Celanese Mexicana (Mexican subsidiary of Germany-based Celanese), Mexico-based Dermet de Mexico, Mexichem and Desc are some of the major players in the industry.

Business Environment

Mexico's non-tariff barriers include import licensing and permits, and quotas that apply to products, including agricultural products, petroleum and its derivatives, cars, some raw materials for the pharmaceuticals industry and manufacturing inputs. In September 2006, the Mexican government reduced 6,000 import tariffs affecting many sectors of the economy, including the chemicals and plastics industries. According to the National Association of Chemical Industries (ANIQ), the abolition of tariffs is likely to result in invasion of low-cost products from Asia, hindering the growth of the Mexican chemicals and petrochemicals industry.

Industry Trends And Developments

In October 2006, the US-based Rohm and Haas reported that it would invest US$19mn to establish an emulsion polymers and poly-acrylates plant in Querétaro. Later in the same month, Norway-based Yara International acquired the Mexico-based Olmeca from Chile-based Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (SQM). In August 2006, Mexico-based Grupo Desc decided to invest US$52mn to establish a plant in Coahuila. The plant would supply paint and accessories for gearboxes to Germany-based Daimler Chrysler pick-ups.

Industry Forecast

In terms of value, Mexico's chemicals industry is forecast to touch MXN54.5bn (US$4.91bn) by 2009. Total production of organic chemicals is forecast to rise to MXN17.86bn (US$1.61bn). Inorganic chemicals output is also expected to climb to MXN4.23bn (US$0.38bn) by 2009. However, investments in the Mexican chemicals industry and the total number of chemicals units are forecast to slide in future. The number of chemical firms in the country is expected to reduce to 166 in 2006, from 181 in 2005.
