The specialty chemicals sector in India is a dynamic and rapidly growing segment of the chemical industry, growing at a CAGR of 3.8%. India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub, driven by favorable government policies, rising domestic demand, and a shift in global supply chains (China+1 strategy), positions the specialty chemicals sector as a key driver of economic growth.  

The sector’s growth is further fueled by innovation, sustainability, and export opportunities, with India’s share in the global specialty chemicals market expected to rise from 4% to 7% by 2026. India’s specialty chemical exports grew by 20% from 2021-2023, with strong demand from the USA (14% of exports), Europe, and Southeast Asia, particularly in agrochemicals, dyes, and pigments.  

India’s specialty chemicals sector is poised for transformative growth, driven by strong domestic and export demand, supportive government policies, and a focus on sustainability and innovation. To capitalize on these opportunities, companies must invest in R&D, adopt green practices, and build resilient supply chains. Addressing challenges like raw material volatility and regulatory compliance will be critical to sustaining India’s position as a global leader in specialty chemicals, contributing significantly to economic development and global value chains. 

Points to be discussed during the session are: Rising domestic demand; Export opportunities; Global supply chain shift; Government initiatives and policy support; Anti-dumping measures; Focus on sustainability and green chemistry; Market opportunity; Innovation and R&D investments; Capex expansion; and Raw material volatility.
