In the second quarter, PPG saw a mid-single-digit percentage year-over-year decline in organic sales for automotive refinish coatings. Sales volumes in the United States declined, while Latin America saw modestly lower organic sales. While demand in Europe was stable, China saw a demand recovery for refinish products. PPG&#39; LINQ services subscriptions grew, and it added around 230 Moonwalk installations in the quarter, further supporting its customer productivity and associated share gain.
PPG projects adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter in the range of $2.10-$2.20. For the full year, the company expects adjusted EPS in the range of $8.15 to $8.30. These projections consider various factors such as current global economic activity, uneven global industrial production, reduced global automotive production, stabilizing demand in Europe, sustained growth in Mexico and India and low single-digit growth in China.

Fidelity Select Materials Portfolio Q3 2024 Review

The demand for specialty chemicals has surged owing to increased industrial production, creating a promising opportunity for investors. To capitalize on the industry's growth, investors could consider adding fundamentally solid specialty chemicals stocks, Kronos (KRO), PPG Industries (PPG), and Kuraray Co. (KURRY) to their portfolios. Read on… Specialty chemicals are seeing a surge in demand as industries ramp up their needs. Key sectors like electronics, construction, automotive, and pharmaceuticals are driving this growth, fueling the rise in demand. As a result, the chemical industry is poised for stronger, more promising growth opportunities ahead.
Amid this backdrop, investors could scoop up shares of specialty chemical companies,  Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KRO/">KRO</a>), PPG Industries, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PPG/">PPG</a>), and Kuraray Co., Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KURRY/">KURRY</a>). These stocks are well-positioned to benefit from increased industrial demand and bolster significant growth.
As industries like electronics, construction, automotive, and pharmaceuticals boom globally, the demand for chemicals in manufacturing is also skyrocketing. A report by TechNavio reveals that the specialty chemicals market is set to grow by $368.2 million by 2028 at <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/specialty-chemicals-market-industry-analysis">an impressive 6.8% CAGR</a>, driving major benefits for the sector.
Most of this growth is due to the rising demand from the agrochemical sector for the usage of specialty chemicals as inputs for producing high-performance pesticides and fertilizers and, in the construction industry, for the use of specialty chemicals as additives and performance enhancers in concrete and other building materials.
Furthermore, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) predicts global chemical production will <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/oil-and-gas/chemical-industry-outlook.html">grow by 3.4% in 2024</a> and 3.5% in 2025, fueled by this increased demand.
