Overview

The Indian Chemical industry has a huge role to play to make India a US $30 trillion economy by 2047 by contributing around US $1 trillion by 2040. The industry is currently pegged at US $220 billion and is growing at a CAGR of 9.3%. As the sector plays a significant role in enabling the growth of the Indian economy, the country needs to build a competitive landscape for the chemical industry.

Be it China-Plus-One strategy that seeks to develop alternate manufacturing hub, and India is pitted to be its biggest beneficiary, countries, and companies are seeking to diversify and de-risk their supply chains, changing geopolitics, trade war, increasingly stringent environmental norms, and increasing compliance and labour costs for manufacturers in China, or demand driven by growth in domestic chemical consumption in India, the Indian Chemical industry is in massive tailwind for unprecedented growth in the coming years.

Besides, the critical growth support that Chemical industry extends to a vast number of other industries helping produce almost 100,000 products, strengthens sector’s untapped potential and massive growth opportunity in India in the coming years. The sector will be integral to Government’s aspiration of developing an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ as well as growth aspirations of making India a US $30 Trillion economy by 2047.
