Chemicals Research / Petrochemicals Research

Chemicals are vital to society, and as a result the chemicals industry is one of the biggest manufacturing industries in all developed countries. Indeed, in the UK it is the largest exporter of any manufacturing industry.

From the EU’s largest producer, Germany, to the fast-developing China, the chemicals sector is enormously diverse, covering everything from fertilisers and soap 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 the market research required relates to investment decisions. B2B International has carried out a wide range of market research looking at natural and synthetic chemicals produced by a broad span of industries.

Our international experience includes researching the chemicals market in over 50 countries including USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Scandinavia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Vietnam, Singapore, China, Japan and Brazil.

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.

Some of the many companies we have conducted research studies for include Air Products, Dow Chemical, Dow Corning, Shell Chemical, BOC, SEOP, Shell Gas, Petro-Canada, Norsk Hydro, JohnsonDiversey, Kraton Polymers, Univation, Infineum, Wacker, ExxonMobil, Brunner Mond, Shell Global Solutions, Linde, Akzo Nobel, Ashland and Albemarle.
