据Young & Partners (Y&P)编辑的数据显示,2015年全球化工行业并购交易额达到650亿美元,比2014年大幅增加30%,其中2015年第四季度的并购交易额高达340亿美元,主要受到默克公司斥资170亿美元收购Sigma-Aldrich交易的刺激。2015年全球化工并购交易额仅次于2011年的820亿美元。Y&P的并购交易数据包括单宗交易额超过2500万美元的化工并购交易。

3:41 PM MST | February 22, 2016 | —Robert Westervelt
M&A activity in the chemical industry totalled $65 billion in 2015, up 30% from 2014, according to data compiled by Young & Partners (Y&P; New York). The figure was helped by a $34-billion surge in deals completed in the fourth quarter, led by Merck KGaA’s $17-billion acquisition of Sigma-Aldrich. The result is the second-strongest annual total, trailing only the $82 billion of 2011. The Y&P data include transactions with values over $25 million.
