On March 24th, the press conference for the 12th World Chemical Engineering Conference 2025 and the 21st Asia Pacific Chemical Industry Alliance Conference (WCCE 12&APCChE 2025) was held at the National Convention Center in Beijing. Fang Xiangchen, Secretary General of the Conference, Chairman of the Asia Pacific Chemical Industry Alliance, and Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the Chinese Chemical Society, announced that this global top academic and industrial event with the theme of "Chemical Engineering Paradigm Change to Meet Global Challenges" will be held at the National Convention Center in Beijing from July 14 to 18, 2025. It is expected that more than 5000 professionals from various fields in the chemical industry from more than 50 countries and regions will gather in Beijing to share the feast.
Secretary General Xiang Chen stated that since the 20th century, with the continuous innovation and breakthroughs in technology and processes, the chemical engineering industry has achieved vigorous and rapid development. Currently, the chemical industry is entering a new "butterfly transformation" period and needs to embrace and create new paradigm changes to stimulate the "new quality productivity" and a new round of growth points in the chemical industry. In recent years, China's chemical industry has made rapid progress and received worldwide attention and concern. The joint convening of the World Chemical Engineering Conference and the Asia Pacific Chemical Alliance Conference in China for the first time will profoundly promote exchanges and integration among the academic, scientific, and industrial communities in the world of chemical engineering, and drive the upgrading of China's chemical industry with new quality productivity, and promote industrial transformation with green chemical engineering. The conference will also serve as a window to comprehensively showcase the fruitful achievements of China's chemical industry development, promoting the construction of a global chemical community with a shared future through openness, integration, and cooperation.


Generally speaking, the profitability of chemical products exhibits significant cyclical characteristics. During a complete cycle, the profitability of chemical products is usually divided into two stages: boom and bust. In the prosperous stage, chemical products are in short supply, and the price difference between products and raw materials increases (the processing cost of products is relatively fixed, and the price difference between products and raw materials reflects profitability), resulting in an increase in product profitability; In a downturn, there is an oversupply of chemical products, resulting in a decrease in price differences between products and raw materials, a decline in product profitability, and some companies may face losses. The cyclical fluctuations in product profitability are closely related to the cyclical fluctuations in product prices to a certain extent.

At the same time, considering the impact of cost, the price of chemical products sometimes cannot fully reflect the true profitability of the enterprise. Comparing the historical prices of products, it can be found that when the product price is high, the profit level may not necessarily be good; When supply exceeds demand, product prices may be low, but profitability may be high. Therefore, relying solely on product prices cannot accurately determine the profitability level of a product. The price difference between the product and raw materials is the most important indicator for evaluating profitability.
