Sector
Industrial and Specialty Chemicals
An established, export-oriented chemical and rubber industry positioned for supply chain diversification and technical partnerships.
The opportunity
Serbia's chemical, rubber, and non-metal industries form one of the country's most significant export bases. For American producers and buyers looking to diversify supply chains closer to European markets, the sector offers existing capacity, an experienced workforce, and room for technical collaboration.
Trade already runs in both directions: chemicals are among leading U.S. exports to Serbia, while tires and rubber products are among leading U.S. imports from it.
Where partnerships form
Supply agreements, contract manufacturing, joint technical development, and distribution of specialty products in either market.
How we help
We connect counterparts through market entry support, business missions, and deal support through to signed agreements.
