Over the 2014-2016 period, the automotive industry of Argentina experienced a sharp drop in production and sales, after a robust expansion between 2003 and 2013. Several factors contributed to this downward trend: the contraction of the domestic economy; a severe decline in demand for vehicles in Brazil – Argentina’s main trading partner, combined with Brazil’s high share in the country’s vehicle exports; and the fact that a heavy tax burden and relatively high production costs makes the Argentine automotive industry uncompetitive internationally. However, economic recovery in 2017, coupled with improved business confidence stemming from the liberalisation measures of President Macri’s administration, has encouraged foreign companies to announce several investment projects to increase domestic production capacity, mainly for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).

Silicones are a group of superior quality materials that offer strength. The resins are majorly used for production line assembly, for instance in electrical and electronics applications, production of household appliances, automotive industry, and for window manufacturing.

The automotive sector is one of the key industries in Poland and it generated around 7% of the country's GDP in 2016. A total of 174,000 people are employed in the manufacturing of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, accounting for more than 8% of employment in manufacturing industries and over 1% of the employment in the entire economy. Poland specialises in the manufacturing of car parts and accessories, whose exports have tripled since Poland joined the EU in 2004, as well as of light commercial vehicles (LCVs), buses, coaches, and semi-trailers. There are only three major passenger car manufacturers present in Poland – FCA Group, General Motors and Volkswagen.

With estimated net revenues of USD 119.6bn in 2017, Brazil’s chemical sector was the eighth largest in the world and the leader in Latin America. Compared to 2016, the industry’s turnover rose by 9.5% y/y, as the uptick in economic activity propelled the domestic demand for chemicals from the main industrial consumers – the agriculture, automotive and durable goods sectors. However, the country remains highly dependent on imports of chemical products, as local production is not able to entirely meet domestic demand. Since 1991, the trade deficit in chemicals has increased nearly 15 times, reaching USD 23.4bn in 2017. A major factor for this negative development can be attributed to poor investment in R&D and modernisation of production capacity that has led to a steady loss of competitiveness of domestic chemical products. The 2015-2016 economic recession unleashed a restructuring
