Chemicals

The chemical industry is a $1 trillion global industry with a high level of competition- especially at the commodity chemicals end of the spectrum. 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. Greater consumption in emerging markets and more production in North America is driving CAGR to 4%. In the US, revenue from the chemical processing industry is approximately $325 billion. Growth in North America is being fueled by a recovering economy and a surplus of inexpensive natural gas, inducing processors to develop additional domestic capacity.
