The total area of the largest of them is 8.48 thousand square meters, and the other two buildings – over four thousand square meters.

The turnover of Moscow chemical producers amounted to 201.3 billion rubles in the first half of 2025. This is 36.6 percent more than the same period last year in comparable prices. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

"The capital's chemical production is a dynamically developing industrial sector. Growth is demonstrated by both industries focused on the production of consumer goods – cosmetics, household chemicals, and manufacturers of products in demand in construction, medicine and pharmaceuticals, and the automotive industry. According to the results of the first half of 2025, these enterprises earned 201.3 billion rubles, almost 37 percent higher than the figures for January-June 2024. The capital's chemical industry accounts for 5.5 percent of the turnover of the Moscow manufacturing industry excluding the oil and gas sector and five percent of the total turnover of the industry in Russia," Maria Bagreeva emphasized.

Manufacturers of household chemicals, cosmetics and perfumes accounted for about 37 percent of the industry turnover (RUB 73.2 billion). Slightly less — RUB 72.6 billion — was the revenue of companies producing chemical products for the creation of industrial and medical products, dyes, plastics and synthetic rubber. Paint and varnish manufacturers received more than RUB 29 billion, or about 14 percent. They demonstrated the greatest growth in the industry — their revenue increased more than 3.5 times in a year.

The turnover of manufacturers of chemical fibers used in the production of fabrics, tires, artificial leather and other products increased almost 2.5 times to 1.2 billion rubles. The revenue of enterprises producing household chemicals, perfumes and cosmetics increased by 40 percent.

Small businesses make a significant contribution to the development of the industry: they account for 48 percent of the turnover of chemical producers in Moscow. Over the year, their figure has grown by 86 percent and reached 96.4 billion rubles. Large and medium-sized enterprises provide about 52 percent of the industry's turnover. In the first six months of 2025, their revenue reached 105 billion rubles, an increase of 9.9 percent compared to last year.

Moscow provides comprehensive support to industrial manufacturers. Enterprises can take advantage of preferential investment loans and preferential rental rates when building new production facilities, and also obtain special statuses that allow them to reduce the regional tax burden. The presence of large scientific institutes and a developed laboratory base in the city gives companies in the industry the opportunity to introduce new technologies, work on improving environmental efficiency and production safety. All this creates a basis for further strengthening the position of the capital's chemical industry in the domestic and foreign markets.

Holding major city events stimulates economic activity of the capital's residents and tourists, especially young people and families with children. One of the striking examples is the project "Summer in Moscow", which offers various types of recreation.

"The economic effect of the Summer in Moscow project is linked to its broad and well-thought-out geography. The events cover the gastronomic, cultural and shopping areas of the capital, attracting additional traffic to them. Tourists highly value interactive and diverse recreation formats, and as a result, the number of those who want to visit Moscow again is growing. In turn, the progressive dynamics of tourist flows provides an incentive for the development of the capital's hospitality industry. In addition, it contributes to an increase in the number of jobs in the Moscow economy and ensures a growing demand for goods and services from related industries," explained independent economist Andrei Barkhota.

Based on the results of the first two months of the season, the capital Tourism Committee conducted an online survey among more than 500 city residents over 18 years old, and the Russian Field team additionally interviewed over 700 Muscovites and tourists who visited the events of the Summer in Moscow project. The study showed that this season about 40 percent of guests are people under 35. Another 37 percent of visitors come to the sites with their families, and two thirds of them with children.

“Considering that it is the youth that largely sets the trends, and families with children demonstrate high consumer activity, we can expect that interest in Moscow and its events will only grow,” the expert added.

"Summer in Moscow" is being held in the capital for the second time. The economic effect of the project became noticeable last year: by the end of the season, tourist revenues to the city budget amounted to 54.5 billion rubles, and the volume of tourist and excursion consumption reached 398.1 billion rubles. In total, over 131 thousand events were held at the project sites last year, with a total of over 38 million people participating.

Also then, a significant part of the program was created by Muscovites themselves: residents, businesses and non-profit societies organized 25 thousand events. Participation in the project allowed more than 1.1 thousand entrepreneurs, who held about 8.5 thousand programs, to increase the recognition of their brands. The economic dynamics of the current season allow us to expect that it will exceed last year's figures.

The total contribution of the travel industry to the capital's economy in 2024 is estimated at 1.7 trillion rubles. Each ruble of budget funds allocated to increase Moscow's tourist attractiveness additionally increases the capital's economy by 35.7 rubles. According to experts, further development of event tourism by 2030 could bring over 260 billion rubles to the city's budget system.

"Summer in Moscow" — the main event of the season. The project is aimed at strengthening social and family ties, as well as the personal development of its participants. Thanks to a variety of programs, including educational, cultural and sports events, it unites Muscovites and guests of the city of different ages, social groups and creates conditions for obtaining new knowledge, creative growth and an active lifestyle.

The Moscow Tourism Committee is creating a relevant information field, which covers the dynamics of hospitality development in the city. The tourist flow in 2024 amounted to 26 million people and exceeded pre-pandemic indicators. Revenues to the Moscow budget are estimated at 235 billion rubles. Detailed analytical information dedicated to the capital's tourism industry can also be found on the portal "Russpass. Business".
