El Salvador is an attractive destination for investors in the chemical sector due to the growing global demand for products in areas such as agriculture and construction, along with the benefits of free trade agreements that facilitate access to key markets such as the United States and the European Union.

El Salvador’s chemical sector generates 4,500 jobs and plays an important role in the country’s industrial value chain. Competitive production costs, skilled labor, and collaboration with universities to drive innovation strengthen the sector’s ability to adapt to market demands.

In addition, the government offers tax incentives, and with a developing infrastructure and a focus on sustainability, El Salvador is positioned as a strategic point for exports in this sector.
