BASF is well positioned to take advantage of the recovery in end markets

BASF is the world’s largest chemical company, producing basic and specialty chemicals in almost all major categories. The firm maintains a top three market position in over two-thirds of its businesses. Its products are sold to a wide variety of end markets, from industrial to transportation, pharmaceuticals and agriculture. The catalysts business generated about 17% of the company’s revenue in 2023, while agriculture generated about 15%. The remaining 11 lines of business accounted for about 10% or less. BASF is quite vertically integrated, producing many chemicals that serve as inputs to its other segments.
