The 38 companies use a total of 146 reporting segment names or an average of four segment names per company. Two companies use the most with ten names: BASF and Solvay. Five companies use only one segment name: Air Products & Chemicals; FMC; Kemira: Linde; and YARA.
Two general approaches seem to be taken in selecting names: 1) a selection tending to use broader, business sector names such as: Electronics & Imagery; Energy Technologies; and Health Care and 2) more specific, technically functional names such as: additives; coatings; and intermediates. This second approach is used much more often.
Reporting segment names used most often ( four or more times) are : additives (5 times); catalysts (4 times); coatings (4 times); and intermediates (5 times).
Twelve companies use “materials” in one of their segment names, which suggests to me an expansion of chemical company technology interests into the material sciences.
The listed 146 resorting segment names, used by 38 of the
largest global chemical companies, seem to me to give a fairly comprehensive indicator
of what the chemical industry consists of, what it does, and is interested in.
