Industry Challenge
The specialty and fine chemicals industry faces several key challenges, which are to increase the biobased content of their products, reduce environmental impact and GHG emissions, while maintaining product quality and consistency, and managing complex supply chains.
As global markets continue to expand, companies must also navigate increasing competition, regulatory requirements and geopolitical risks. Additionally, the sector is often subject to fluctuating raw material prices and demands for sustainable sourcing practices. To succeed in this dynamic environment, specialty and fine chemicals firms must invest in R&D, innovate continuously, and develop strong relationships with customers and suppliers.
