The global chemicals market size will grow from $4700.13 billion in 2022 to $5079.29 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of chemicals is expected to grow to $6851.59 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.8%. Interest rates were low in most developed countries during this period. This positively impacted the growth of the chemicals market. For instance, in March 2020, the Bank of England, a UK-based central bank, reduced interest rates to 0.1%, the lowest level ever, as a measure of protest against COVID-19. These low-interest rates encouraged borrowing and increased the flow of money for investment. This allowed chemical companies to borrow money for process improvements, thus driving the market during the historic period. Major companies in the chemicals market include JXTG Holdings Inc., Sinopec Limited, BASF SE, Procter & Gamble, Unilever plc, L'Oreal SA, Dow Inc., Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corp, and Guardian Industries, LLC. Rising costs had a negative impact on the growth of the industrial gas market during the forecast period. This rise in raw material costs resulted in higher manufacturing costs, thus decreasing the investments available for research and development of new products. Additionally, companies invested heavily in marketing their products due to intense competition in the market. Rising trucking, railroad, dry-bulk, and air-freight rates also negatively impacted the market. This rise in operating costs increased the pressure on companies to protect margins while maintaining the quality of their products. Chemical companies are increasingly adopting sustainable and eco-friendly processes to eliminate the negative impact of chemical manufacturing on the environment. Evolution in technology and chemical sciences enables chemical companies to utilize alternative fuels to produce chemical products. They are using naturally available carbon dioxide to produce fuels, industrial products, and other substances. For instance, Akzo Nobel N.V., a chemicals and coatings giant, is planning to make a seven-figure investment in Green Lizard Technologies’ patented process to make surfactants from plants rather than from oils.
