Les tensions géopolitiques européennes ont entraîné une hausse des coûts du pétrole, qui a eu un impact sur les coûts de production des produits chimiques. Cette situation devrait à son tour avoir une incidence significative sur le marché des produits chimiques de spécialité, les fabricants étant confrontés à une hausse des prix des produits chimiques et à une baisse des bénéfices en raison de la hausse des coûts de l'énergie. Les interruptions d'approvisionnement, en particulier dans la région européenne, ont perturbé l'importation et l'exportation de matières premières, affectant ainsi la dynamique globale du marché.
The specialty chemicals market is divided into two categories based on product: specialty polymers, institutional and industrial cleaners, electronic chemicals, rubber processing chemicals, construction chemicals, food and feed additives, cosmetic chemicals, mining chemicals. Institutional and industrial cleaners segment is dominating the specialty chemical market. Several technological developments and product innovations have improved the performance of such items, boosting the specialty chemicals market's rise in recent years. Construction chemicals are predicted to become one of the most important product groups, with considerable growth estimates. The construction and building business has a high need for products including specialist water-proofing compounds, repair and restoration compounds, joint fillers, and tile-fixing adhesives. In recent years, the rapid growth of refining capacity and shale oil and gas drilling activities has raised product consumption in the oil and gas end-use industry. This is aided by the significant increase in oil refinery throughput across all geographies. According to BP Statistical Review of World Energy report, refining throughput increased by 6.7 percent, 7.6 percent, and 85 percent each year in China, Colombia, and Vietnam, respectively.
The market is divided into antioxidants, biocides, surfactants based on function. Antioxidants segment dominate specialty chemical market. Antioxidants are chemicals that prevent oxidation, a chemical reaction that can result in free radicals and chain reactions that can harm organisms' cells. These processes may be inhibited by antioxidants such as thiols or ascorbic acid. Biocide is expected to increase the market share in coming years. A biocide is a chemical substance or microorganism that uses chemical or biological ways to kill, dissuade, render harmless, or regulate any dangerous organism. Because of their rapid response, biocides are one of the most often utilized ways in industry to destroy microorganisms in the system. Surfactants segment is also anticipated to dominate the market in forecast period. Surfactant is mostly used in oil gas industries. It acts as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, or dispersants.
The major players operating in the global specialty chemicals industry include Solvay AG, Evonik Industries AG, Clariant AG, Akzo Nobel N.V., BASF SE, Kemira Oyj, LANXESS AG, Croda International Plc, Huntsman International LLC, The Lubrizol Corporation, Albemarle Corporation. The market is highly fragmented in nature with the presence of established industry players and is characterized by mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, capacity expansions, substantial distribution, and branding decisions to improve market share and regional presence. Also, they are involved in continuous R&D activities to develop new products as well as are focused on expanding the product portfolio. This is expected to intensify competition and pose a potential threat to the new players entering the market.
Recent Developments
March 6, 2024 – BASF has announced that it is changing the name of two dispersions plants in China, BASF Paper Chemicals Huizhou and BASF Paper Chemicals Jiangsu, to BASF Specialty Material Huizhou and BASF Specialty Material Jiangsu, respectively, to better reflect their diverse product offerings for various industries.
July 30, 2024 - Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemicals company announced the expansion of its strategic cooperation with KBR in the field of ammonia production. Ammonia plays a vital role in today´s food production, and it will become even more important as a clean energy source in the future. The partners will continue collaborating on traditional ammonia projects while significantly increasing their focus on low-carbon and carbon-free “green ammonia” applications.
Geographically, the specialty chemicals market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, APAC and MEA.
Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the global specialty chemicals market. The emergence of the Asia Pacific region as one of the fastest-growing markets for specialty chemicals is due to China's prominence as one of the top manufacturing hubs for most industries, including pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, personal care and cosmetics, automotive, and electrical and electronics. Furthermore, as economies such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India diversify and industrialize; profitable prospects in the specialty chemical industry are expected to emerge. Because of the popularity of oil and gas firms in Middle Eastern countries, the Middle East and Africa are likely to be one of the top markets for oilfield chemicals. The market for specialist construction chemicals will profit from the rapid increase of construction activities in the Gulf Cooperation Council, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
