Global Specialty Chemicals Market
Specialty chemical market consists of a range of compounds that are produced in small quantities. These chemicals play a key role in the processing of consumer chemical products including fuel additives, adhesives, and cosmetic additives. It’s value chain ranges to industries including cosmetics, automotive and transportation, food, and agriculture.
This report studies the changing market trends with respect to the shifting dynamics. The opportunity and scenario analysis within this market is performed through supplier profiling across a competitive geographic spread. A strategic analysis based on the value chain and demand analysis has been performed within this report.
On performing a supply chain analysis it is seen that due to the raw material reserves found within the ME, the area is expected to remain an exporter for commodity chemicals as well as specialty chemicals. Moreover, the increasing clusters within the EU are expected to further increase the complexity of the value chain. Increased consolidation of industries and hence rampant customization of products received from the Middle East supports the maturity of the current EU market. The induction of additional transshipment and storage facilities within this belt is expected to increase. Moreover, development is moving from the West to the East globally.
Therefore, markets like China with specialties production capability will increase its revenue base with imports. This would impact the trade within Far Eastern and Western nations. Expanding markets like Eastern Europe and Middle Eastern markets require advanced transportation capabilities to facilitate trade. Lack of infrastructure within this segment for the specialties market results in increased distribution costs. It also poses a greater risk of supply chain disruption. The optimization of logistical facilities is also a factor that has an impact on the supply chain. Regions globally are trying to reduce their GHG emissions from both productions as well as transportation.
Specialty chemicals are employed based on their functionality. Therefore, specialty chemicals are also known as effect chemicals or specialties. They are unique molecules generally designed as formulations. The compound specifications for each molecule are distinctive which helps differentiate the function between each chemical. The physical and chemical properties employed to fabricate the product affect the efficiency of the end-product.
Most of these chemicals are highly temperature and pressure-sensitive. Thus, the operating conditions employed for the production of these chemicals are maintained through automated systems in order to yield maximum efficiency. The rising investments within the R&D segment of this industry augment the growth of this market positively. The process intensification techniques employed to steadfast the reaction time and in turn reduce the lead time are being researched extensively. Moreover, most of the specialty chemicals are produced in Multi-purpose plants. The intermediate products are hereafter formulated within the in-plant landscape. Therefore, movers and trucks are employed to transport the products from one place to another. Specialty chemicals are essentially stored in inert tanks. The MOC(Material of Construction) is so chosen that it is chemically resistant towards the product stored within the system facility.
The specialty chemicals segment provides a diverse number of solutions to the customer. Additionally, the products are highly cost-intensive owing to the manufacturing conditions and the cost of raw materials used. They construct several formulations for the same design problem. Within the USA, the specialty chemicals manufacturers are a part of the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA). The specialty chemical manufacturing companies stationed within the UK are a part of the British Association for Chemical Specialties (BACS).
To perform a comprehensive analysis of the specialty chemicals market, it has been segmented by Type, Industry, and Region. On a regional basis, the global market is governed by APAC. Rapid urbanization and the rise in commercializing of this market propel the growth of this sector. The growing industrialization in areas like China, India, and Japan boosts the market revenue generated within APAC. A rise in construction and development projects within APAC is another contributing factor to the growth of this sector. The high cost associated with the raw material is one of the key restraints of this market.
The stringent regulations employed by the government to prevent environmental degradation is another factor that restricts the production within this market. Industries manufacturing these chemicals have to abide by environmental safety standards. Therefore, effluent treatment and waste management within the manufacturing sector act as one of the key governing factors during process design. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals)- ECHA is the regulations imposed by the EU to promote environmental and health safety of the people working within plant scenarios. The country of South Korea’s MOE (Ministry of Environment) has also developed environmental and health preservation standards to promote the development of a sustainable environment.
Heavy penalties are imposed upon production units that exceed the limits imposed on effluent release. These measures are utilized to aid safety to both the working staff within the unit as well as the inhabitants living around the plant area.
