ANTECEDENTS

Demand for chemicals, as well as, goods and services related with chemical processes, have shown strong increases in Chilemin last decade and future projections are favorable as well.  The rise in demand is due to the solidly growing economy and the chemical products that are used, in one way or another, in virtually every productive sector.

 

Chemicals: Chilean chemicals market reached 11.2 billions dollars in 2005, growing 36% more than the year before. Of this total, 6.7 billion corresponded to local production and the rest to imports. Exports reached 2.8 billions (38% more than in 2004).

 

Chemical Process Equipments: The Chilean economy is led by export sectors with important comparative and competitive advantages. Many of these sectors use chemical process equipment. Between them, sectors such as: mining; cellulose and paper; chemicals; foods and drinks; wines; plastics and rubbers. Equipment imports of this kind grow at rates of over 20% per year.

 

Specialized Services: The worldwide trend for specialized services is present every day with a special focus on Chile. For example, presently in the country, logistic operators specialize in chemical management in areas like: transportation, storage, waste management, containers cleaning, tank inspections, fleet monitoring, etc. Something similar happens with respect to contractors of general services such as industrial cleaning, security, maintenance, etc. Providers of specialized services have good business projections in the rapidly growing Chilean economy.

 

Environmental Management: Environmental protection is one of the top priorities of government authorities. Gradually, protection has entered in force with new laws regulating air, water and land emissions. Year 2006 marked an important challenge for local industries, due to the fact that new regulations regarding liquid industrial wastes, dangerous wastes and air emissions were put into effect. Therefore, equipment suppliers and service suppliers have a good market inChile.
