O Finances of the U.S. Chemical Industry 

• 8 

Capital spending by U.S. chemical 

producers continued to rise at a 

higher than usual rate in 1989! The 

increase for 1989 over 1988 for the 

25 chemical firms that C&EN surveys annually was 16%, a respectable showing although not nearly so 

good as the 35% jump that 1988 registered over 1987. 

Even so, last xe?^s increase was 

well above the 5% annual compound growth fate during the past 

10'years for" the companies whose 

plant outlays are tabulated by 

C&EN. Among the 25 firms with notable increases in spending last year 

were Crompton & Knowles, up 86%; 

Chemical capital spending nears $10 billion as it rises to 

the highest level relative to industry sales since 1982 

$ Billions"
