According to the latest survey report of New York-based investment banking company Young & Partners, the global industry's M&A transaction volume in the first quarter of this year exceeded the level of the same period of last year, completing a total of 20 M&A deals, a 42% increase over the same period of last year; the total transaction price is 70. Billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 4 billion U.S. dollars from the 3 billion U.S. dollars in the same period last year.

The company’s analysis showed that financial buyers were still very interested in the chemical industry in the first quarter of this year, but the number of transactions declined, accounting for only 20% of the 20 M&A deals, compared with 29% in the same period last year. Analysts believe that the main reason is that higher interest rate levels cause difficulties in financing; at the same time, due to improved market conditions, the financial status of chemical companies has been greatly improved, and they have become active in M&A deals.

Analysts believe that the boom in chemical industry M&A transactions in the first quarter of this year was a continuation of the active global transaction in this area since last year. Last year, the global industry completed a total of 85 transactions, which was a 25% increase from 2003, and the total transaction price increased significantly by 48% to 31 billion US dollars.

It is reported that the largest transaction was the purchase of UCB's surface specialty chemicals business by Cytec Industries for US$1.8 billion. The report pointed out that in the first quarter of this year, the largest number of global industrial M&A deals was in Europe, which accounted for 40%. This is because the current European chemical industry is in the reorganization phase; the United States accounts for about 20% of the transaction volume, and the remaining 40% occurs in Asia and other areas. Global industrial M&A transactions in the same period last year occurred in Europe and the United States, each accounting for 50% of the total.

Statistics show that in the first quarter of this year, the number of M&A transactions in the field of basic chemicals exceeded that of specialty chemicals. In the 20 chemical industry M&A transactions, the basic chemicals sector accounted for 55%, while in the 14 chemical industry M&A deals completed in the same period last year, the basic chemicals sector accounted for only 21%.
