Ludwigshafen – July 11, 2025 – BASF has released preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2025. Sales declined by 2.1% in the second quarter of 2025 to €15.77 billion (Q2 2024: €16.11 billion). This resulted from negative currency effects in all segments and lower prices, particularly in the Chemicals segment. Volumes increased slightly compared with the prior-year quarter, mainly thanks to considerable volume growth in the Agricultural Solutions and Surface Technologies segments. According to Vara, analysts had expected sales of €15.80 billion on average for the second quarter of 2025.
