Chemicals Market Research in China and Asia
Chemicals are, of course, vital to society, and as a result the chemicals industry is one of the biggest manufacturing industries in all developed countries.
From the EU's largest producer, Germany, to the fast developing China, the chemicals sector is enormously diverse, covering everything from fertilisers to soaps to paints and varnishes. Of course, the biggest sector within chemicals is the pharmaceutical industry, which we treat as an industry in its own right.
Chemicals industries across the world are characterised by higher levels of investment than most industries, and hence much of our work relates to investment decisions. In Asia, we frequently advise companies on where to expand their activities - should this be China, with its continual 9%-10% growth in the chemicals industry and high production levels, where foreign players are increasingly competing with local refining and chemical production industries? Should it be Japan or Singapore, where so much high-level decision-making and R&D is located, and where the markets are far more mature? Or perhaps South Korea or India, two key locations for outsourced production and also R&D?
B2B International has carried out a wide range of projects across these and other Asian countries, looking at natural and synthetic chemicals produced by a broad span of industries. Our experience covers organic base chemicals, resins, cosmetics, dyes and pigments, paints and varnishes, soaps, detergents, inorganic base chemicals, pesticides and other agrochemicals, fertilizers, industrial gases, essential oils, synthetic rubber and glues.
Further upstream, we have conducted projects throughout the petrochemical industry - click here to read more.
