Organic Chemicals Market Outlook – Surge in Pharmaceuticals Industries Augmenting Market Growth

The last decade has witnessed a spike in incidence rate of various diseases. This in turn has led to increasing spending by various government and non-governmental organizations on developing effective drugs to combat such diseases, subsequently propelling growth of the pharmaceuticals industry. This trend is expected to prevail over the forecast period, consequently fueling growth of the organic chemicals market. Global giants in pharmaceuticals space, such as Pfizer spent US$ 7872 million in 2016, which increased by 2% as compared to 2015 and Novartis spent US$ 8400 million in 2016, which have significantly increased investment in R&D for effective drug development. While North America currently accounts for the largest share in the global organic chemicals industry, owing to a robust production base, emerging economies of Asia Pacific are projected to witness fastest growth in the market over the following decade. This is mainly attributed to rapid industrialization and benefits of economies of scale in countries such as China, Japan, and India.

Organic chemicals Market Challenges – Stringent Environmental Regulations

Rising awareness regarding harmful health & environmental effects associated with manufacturing and use of organic compounds is expected to be one of the key challenges for the end user industry. For instance, on December 23, 2010, the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) of India implemented water (prevention and pollution control) act 1974 and air pollution act 1981. The law enforces strict regulation for production, use, import, and export of various hazardous chemicals such as phthalates, benzothiazole, among others. Treatment of hazardous waste chemicals prior to releasing in the environment, the organic chemical manufacturing company has to go through a series of complex processes. Moreover, the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection implemented penalty on manufacturer to lower the environmental pollution level, which led to shut down of many end user industries.

Organic Chemicals Market – Regulatory Scenario:

  • Registration, Evaluation and Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CPL) regulations
  • Regulations regarding fertilizer production
  • Regulations regarding detergents production
  • Regulation regarding explosive production
  • Regulation regarding drug precursors production
  • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
  • Chemical Waste Disposal Law Govern by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Key players in the organic chemicals market include TCI America, BASF SE, PPG Industries, The Dow Chemicals Company, AkzoNobel, Royal Dutch Shell, Sinopec, ExxonMobil, Formosa Plastics, LyondellBasell Industries, DuPont, Ineos, Huntsman and Reliance Industries. The market is fragmented, with some of the key companies in North America and Asia Pacific.
