Chemicals

In 2020, the industry reached $4.4 trillion in revenue, which translates into a 2.3% CAGR between 2016 and 2020.

During the same year, 2020, the commodity chemical was the most lucrative segment with 50.2% of the market’s overall value. The industry has witnessed high levels of M&A activity in recent years- a trend that is expected to continue. Globally, growth in the chemicals industry benefits from more construction and consumption in faster-growing economies of Brazil, Asia, and India. In 2021, the global chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) grew 6.1% and for 2022 it is expected to grow by 3.5% which still above the average for the years prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
