The Indian chemical industry is a critical part of the Indian economy. With more than 80,000 products for downstream industries like automotive, textiles, pharmaceuticals, personal care, construction & engineering, food production and processing etc.
Buoyed by favourable megatrends, the Indian Chemical industry has grown at 7.6% over the past 6 years to reach US 155 Bn in FY 2016. Indian chemical market is poised to grow @ 9.3% till 2025 with the Speciality chemicals growing with a CAGR of above 12% till 2025.
India has the potential of becoming no 4 chemicals consuming country given the huge market. But whether the demand will be met by domestic production has a question mark. That is in the context of the emerging market scenario, with the gap between supplies and demand continuously increasing in recent years and the same being catered by imports.
New investments are very few in the chemical sector, which is a matter of concern.
The sector needs global scale infrastructure, logistics, Ease of doing business and feedstock at competitive prices to be made available.
