21世纪经济报道记者雷椰李德尚玉北京报道 零碳热潮正持续升温，在零碳园区政策相继落地后，零碳工厂的建设浪潮已紧随而至。今年，工业和信 息化部等五部门联合印发《关于开展零碳工厂建设工作的指导意见》，明确提出我国将从2026年起遴选 一批零碳工厂，进一步推动工业领域深度脱碳。 越来越多的企业正加快推进工厂绿色低碳转型，绿色工厂、近零碳工厂等实践已逐步展开。近日，21世 纪经济报道实地探访位于天津经济技术开发区东区的霍尼韦尔工厂。值得注意的是，该区域已被纳入天 津经开区打造零碳园区的规划范围，而霍尼韦尔天津工厂也正在探索工业制造绿色化、低碳化的可行路 径。 霍尼韦尔大中华区总裁余锋接受21世纪经济报道记者专访时表示，目前霍尼韦尔在中国生产制造的产品 中，75%来自国家级或省级认定的绿色工厂。从绿色工厂升级到零碳工厂，是企业、组织乃至国家发展 进程中必然的进阶方向。 企业需要寻找绿色最优解 盈利压力陡增。产能扩张速度远超市场需求增长，导致产品价格下行，企业盈利难度大幅上升，企业家 普遍面临着如何在当下市场环境中提升盈利能力的重大课题。 创新能力需突破。企业要实现可持续发展，必须依靠创新开辟新的利润空间，仅靠降本增效难 ...

尽管2025年化工并购市场出现了凯雷集团与卡塔尔投资局(QIA)收购巴斯夫涂料业务、伯克希尔·哈撒韦 以97亿美元全现金收购西方石油化工业务OxyChem等案例，但这类交易并非市场主流。截至2025年9月 底，已宣布但尚未完成的化工并购交易共20宗，总价值270亿美元，这类储备项目通常对应未来6个月左 右的交易量，预示后续并购节奏仍将偏慢。 从细分领域来看，化工并购市场呈现明显分化趋势。大宗化学品并购活动持续下滑，2025年前三季度交 易占比仅为35.6%，远低于约50%的历史平均水平;特种化学品并购活动则相对稳定，估值呈现温和上升 态势，反映出战略买家对该领域的青睐，以及其相对更优的经营环境。 与此同时，行业还面临诸多特有挑战，如细分市场需求放缓、油气价格波动频繁，以及产能持续扩张 等。区域层面，欧洲化工企业处境尤为艰难，需求疲软、成本高企双重挤压利润空间;全球大宗化学品 生产企业则遭遇周期性下行压力，叠加亚洲、中东地区大规模新增产能的冲击，经营困境凸显。其中， 中东地区扩产并非源于正常的周期性需求增长，其核心逻辑是推动经济多元化以降低对油气出口的依 赖。 受上述因素影响，2025年前三季度化工并购市场延续 ...
