BASF Q3 Report 2023

Sales in the third quarter of 2023 amounted to €15,735 million, down by €6,211 million compared with the prior-year period. The decline was mainly due to considerably lower prices, primarily in the Materials, Chemicals and Surface Technologies segments. Higher prices in the Agricultural Solutions segment had a positive effect. In addition, sales performance was weighed down by considerably lower volumes in all segments. Currency effects also had a slightly negative impact on sales.
