Industry overview

With 96% of all manufactured goods relying on chemicals, the sector holds vast potential for expansion. But as chemical manufacturers compete fiercely for market share, they face a high-stakes environment shaped by shifting trade policies, tariff disputes, and ongoing industry consolidation. These pressures are pushing businesses to rethink how they operate—and differentiate.

In response, many chemical companies are undergoing strategic transformation focused on growth, profitability, and long-term resilience. Central to this evolution is the need to adapt quickly, embrace digital technologies, and modernise operations. While safety remains paramount, decarbonisation is rapidly gaining importance as a key objective.

In this landscape, the supply chain is emerging as a vital engine of change. From supporting continuous production with efficient storage solutions to unlocking margin improvements through smarter logistics, chemical companies are demanding more from their supply chain partners.
