Chemicals and Materials

The chemical and materials industry is one of the important pillars of the global manufacturing industry. The industry supplies raw materials for different sectors, such as automotive, construction, healthcare, electronics, and agriculture. The wide variety of products manufactured by the industry includes specialty chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, composites, coatings, adhesives, advanced materials, etc. The current state of this field, which focuses on the sustainable development of chemical manufacturing and the growth of the green materials market, is being promised and revealed through the development of bio-based and recyclable materials, reducing the mitigation of adverse impacts on the environment. The application of advanced polymer materials for high-performance applications will also reflect innovation in other sectors like aerospace, medical devices, and electronics.

Various industries will attempt to drive market growth by boosting demand for lightweight materials in automotive manufacturing, expanding the advanced materials market through nanotechnology, and raising demand for smart coatings and adhesives in industrial applications. The second most important sector for market growth is the introduction of biodegradable plastics and eco-friendly chemical solutions, which are being driven by regulatory pressures and customer demand for sustainability. In addition to disruptions in the market's chemical supply chain, price volatility in raw materials and extremely stringent environmental regulations pose significant obstacles. Nonetheless, barriers have set a basic trend in the chemical industry's shift to a circular economy, with companies investing in waste-to-value processes and chemical recycling technologies to improve sustainability.
