the attendees."
Boasting one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Brazil is rebounding
well from the global economic downturn. In Brazil alone, the chemical industry's net
sales in 2009 were US$103 billion, 48% of which represented industrial chemicals, 15%
pharmaceutical products, with the remaining segments (paints, coatings, soap and
detergent, cosmetics, perfumes, crops/fertilizers) totaling 37%*. Sao Paulo, widely
regarded as the business capital of Latin America, is also a major hub for the
chemical industry. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics
(IBGE), there are approximately 5, 500 chemical companies operating in the country
representing 1,096 chemical industries. 604 of these companies are located in the
state of Sao Paulo.
