据ICIS网站7月16日消息 欧盟统计局周五称，2021年前5个月欧盟化学品出口同比增长2.2%，但进口几乎没有增长。
欧盟传统的化学品贸易顺差略有收窄，但仍保持在741亿欧元的健康水平。
国际化学品贸易逆势向机械和车辆等石化密集型制造业发展，期间进出口同比增长两位数。
制成品进出口增幅与初级商品持平。在能源领域，欧盟一直是净进口国，进口增长了近20%。
能源出口也大幅增长，但基数较低。
2021年第一季度，为遏制第二波冠状病毒，欧盟主要经济体的封锁给欧盟的国际货物贸易带来了冲击。
然而，从4月份开始，经济开始复苏，商品贸易的数据开始反映这一点。

EU chemicals exports up more than 2% in January-May, imports mostly flat
EU chemicals exports rose 2.2% in the first five months of 2021, year align="justify"> The traditional EU surplus in chemicals trade narrowed slightly, but remained healthy at €74.1bn.
International trade in chemicals bucked the trend for other petrochemical-intensive manufacturing sectors such as machinery and vehicles, where imports and exports rose by double digits during the period, year align="justify"> The increases in imports and exports of manufactured goods matched those in primary goods; in energy, where the EU has always been a net importer, imports rose by nearly 20%.
Exports of energy also rose sharply, but from a very low base.
In the first quarter of 2021, the EU’s international trade in goods took a hit from lockdowns in its major economies to contain the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
From April, however, the economy has gathered steam, which is starting to be reflected in figures for the trade in goods.
