In order to be able to take advantage of the opportunities for profitable growth throughout the world, BASF is represented with production and sales facilities in all economic regions. Even though Europe is BASF's home market, the dynamic regions of North America, Asia and South America are increasingly gaining in importance.

Within the scope of its strategy, BASF is banking on the following:
- World-scale plants: the more a plant produces, the lower the fixed costs per ton of product (economies of scale). This is why BASF operates such cost-efficient large-scale facilities in all growth regions - that is where the customers are.
- Verbund sites: this is where BASF makes use of intelligently integrated production processes in order to inexpensively manufacture a broad assortment of products, as a result of which it can supply a wide array of sectors on site.
