Resumen
The paper presents the specifics of the global liquid chemical materials market. The increasing role of China is very significant in the prediction of the growth of the market. The changes of the structure of the primary market naturally lead to the changes in the transportation market of chemical liquid materials. The road transport still holds its significance, especially in the European Union, but intermodal transport also increases. The changes are affected by the legal regulations and the transport policy of the European Union, which might disturb the picture of the market within the next 10 years.
