Volume, Types, and Global Standards
The United States is one of the world’s top producers and exporters of industrial chemicals, delivering high-quality and highly regulated products across diverse sectors—from agriculture to manufacturing. For Bangladesh’s growing industrial economy, U.S. chemical exports represent a reliable, safe, and scalable source of raw materials.
Export Volume and Global Leadership
The U.S. chemical industry exported over $270 billion worth of chemicals in 2023, making it the second-largest exporting sector in the country. More than 10,000 types of chemicals are exported annually to over 200 countries, with Asia, Europe, and Latin America as major destinations.
Bangladesh has steadily increased its import of chemicals to support its booming textile, leather, pharmaceuticals, agro-processing, and construction sectors. U.S. chemicals—backed by strict safety standards and transparent sourcing—are well-positioned to meet this rising demand.
