The IoT in Chemical Industry market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of IoT in the chemical industry is predicted to witness substantial growth in the coming years. It is anticipated to expand to $217.91 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%.
This increase in the forecasted period can be credited to factors like smart chemical plants, environmental monitoring, solutions for cybersecurity, initiatives for circular economy, and safety and security applications. The upcoming period will see predominant trends such as smart manufacturing and industry 4.0, integration of data analytics and AI, cooperation with tech providers, innovative sensors, digital twins, and incorporation of blockchain technology.
The growth of the IoT in the chemical industry market is anticipated to be accelerated by the rising uptake of industrial robots. These robots are engineered to automate manufacturing tasks, such as those demanded by a persistent moving assembly line, and are stationed at fixed spots within an industrial establishment. The Internet of Things will facilitate the evolution of the chemical industry. The information gathered from IoT-enabled apparatus aids in anticipating future consequences and patterns, and in determining the maintenance needs of machinery in a chemical industries' production chain. For instance, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics, a non-profit organization based out of Germany, there was a 12% overall increase in industrial robot installations in manufacturing, reaching 41,624 units in 2022 from May 2023. Consequently, the surge in the use of industrial robots is set to propel the IoT in the chemical industry market.

The rising popularity of IoT platform implementation has become a significant trend in the chemical industry's IoT market. Prominent companies in the IoT chemical industry are honing in on the installation of industrial IoT platforms at chemical plants to preserve their competitive edge in the market. For example, in February 2023, BASF, a German chemical enterprise, joined hands with Thielmann GmbH & Co. KG, another Germany-based chemical firm, and NXTGN Solutions GmbH, a provider of digital transformation services based in Germany. The aim was to augment the development and distribution of Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) monitoring solutions powered by IoT. These IoT-backed IBC solutions allow real-time tracking of various factors such as location, fill levels, temperature, and contamination - details that are crucial for the chemical industry where meticulous tracking is a prerequisite for safety and adherence to regulations.
