The Chemical Sector: Export Engine of the Valencian Community

In 2024, chemical exports reached €5.032 billion , with France, Italy, Portugal, and the United States being the main markets. Plastics stand out as the most in-demand product, accounting for 32% of the sector's total value.

 

The positive trend continued from January to August 2025, with exports reaching €3.426,44 million . France remains the top destination (12,5%), and together with Italy, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Morocco, the United States, and the United Kingdom , accounts for more than half (53,76%) of total exports during this period.
