HOME > YOUR INDUSTRY > Chemistry The chemical industry in France Production experiences a slight decline in 2020 but the sector is showing resilience The production of the chemical industry in France fell by -9% over 2020, but shows strong disparities depending on the sector Business volumes evolved over the year 2020 in line with the health crisis : Due to the dependence of French chemical players on the cosmetics sector, the chemicals sector in France is more affected than in its European neighbors. Strong disparities exist between sectors : Soaps, perfumes and cleaning products The sector of soaps, perfumes and cleaning products is experiencing a heavy fall which masks significant disparities: detergents and soaps are experiencing strong growth stimulated by the demand for cleaning products. Conversely, perfumes and cosmetics suffered from the closure of points of sale, foremost among them duty free, and, more broadly, the cessation of tourism. Pharmaceutical The pharmaceutical fine chemicals branch was able to stabilize its business volume at + 0.1%. Chemical specialties Chemical Specialties, despite the context and the decrease of -3%, show a certain resilience in this context of crisis but also in the long term. The French chemical sector is also counting on the lever of the recovery plan to ensure its recovery : Plusieurs projets ont été sélectionnés dans le cadre du Plan France Relance qui finance à hauteur de 200 M€ des projets de décarbonation ou de développement de filières d’excellence.
