Market Segmentation
Consumer demand is the main driver of the expansion, with the pharmaceutical, electronics, chemicals, and personal electronics sectors leading the way. The need for flavoring agents has increased due to the industrialized world's growing use of processed foods and drinks. For the forecast period, the specialty chemicals market is anticipated to be driven by consumers' growing preference for novel flavors and fragrances in food goods. For example, from 2014 to 2022, the food processing industry in India grew at an approximate average annual growth rate of 11.4%. By 2026, India's food processing industry is expected to generate USD 535 billion, according to IBEF.
The production of industrial and institutional cleansers uses a variety of chemicals, including hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite. During the forecast period, the market is anticipated to benefit from the increasing use of these cleaners in a variety of industries. Throughout the forecast period, the worldwide surfactants market is anticipated to be driven by the expansion of the industrial and institutional cleansers market in major regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe, which is a result of the increased demand for cleaning and disinfecting solutions to combat COVID-19.
Specialty chemicals are used in nearly all industrial fields. Four end-use sectors account for over half of the specialty chemicals manufactured worldwide: food and beverage; soap, cleaning, and cosmetics; construction; and electrical and electronics. Due to modernization and the rise of consumer-driven economies, the specialty chemicals industry is anticipated to have significant development potential in emerging regions in the upcoming years. Specialty coatings, electronic chemicals, nutraceuticals, flavors and fragrances, and the organic personal care market are among the specialty chemical categories that are anticipated to grow at a rapid pace due to favorable prospects for their respective end-use markets.
The oil and gas industry has witnessed technological improvements due to the swift research and development efforts of global corporations like Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, and Total SA. Businesses have been concentrating on providing high-performance chemicals for chemical processing, oil field applications, and other areas that improve oil recovery and production while optimizing the recovery of oil and gas reserves. However, volatility in the price and availability of crude oil on the international market presents a risk to global specialty chemical formulators. It is anticipated that the Middle East, China, India, and Brazil will increase their refining capacities, ensuring the supply of raw materials for the production of specialty chemicals needed for a wide range of applications.
Crude oil is essential to the production of specialty chemicals because it is refined further to create a variety of petrochemical compounds that are then utilized as raw materials to create specialty chemicals. Refineries' profit margins shrink when crude oil prices rise. An increase in the cost per unit of the final product for consumers has an impact on both their ability to spend and the rate of economic growth overall.
The global specialty chemicals sector is experiencing a great deal of concern due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the ensuing containment measures put in place to stop the pandemic's spread, the industry is anticipated to be impacted by factors like declining investments in the oil and gas sector, falling oil prices, declining rig counts, and declining oil demand. These factors have been a major problem for the manufacturers. The prices of several downstream goods that are used as input feed for the production of different specialized chemical products have decreased in tandem with the drop in crude oil prices. The price of crude oil decreased from USD 40.7 per barrel in 2016 to USD 79.3 per barrel in 2022, according to the BP Statistical Review of 2019. Additionally, the continuing pricing war between Saudi Arabia and Russia has exacerbated volatility in crude oil prices.
