Introduction
Indian Chemical News (ICN), the most credible media platform for chemical, petrochemical, energy and pharmaceutical industries, is all set to expand its virtual horizon with the introduction of India’s first Virtual Summit cum Exhibition titled NextGen Chemical & Petrochemical Summit 2021 to be held from 07-8th October 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the industry across the globe worst. The ban on international travel forced companies to shift their meetings virtually. Physical exhibitions that act as a major networking and relationship building medium disappeared from the market.
During these challenging times, Indian Chemical News with the help of the latest cutting-edge technology, is set to offer an opportunity to the stakeholders of the industry to conduct business from location of their choice and connect with the target audience. This Virtual summit is a part of the industry’s broader plan to offer an opportune platform to the stakeholders. The first edition of NextGen Chemical & Petrochemical Summit 2021 will also serve as a premier forum for the panel discussions/presentations/ paper presentations/case studies etc. It will feature invited keynote speeches, peer-reviewed paper presentations, and other R&D and technological advancement in the field of chemical, petrochemical, energy and other sectors. This event provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.
The Virtual event will witness several exciting partnerships and announcements that promise to augur in new trends in the industry. The summit expects footfalls from a wide range of visitors that comprise chemicals, petrochemicals, energy, pharmaceuticals and other allied sectors.
Industry Overview
Global chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) is expected to grow by 4.4% in 2021, which is above average for the years prior to the coronavirus pandemic. This growth should be seen predominantly in emerging markets (2021: +5.4%; 2020: +1.8%). In advanced economies, a growth rate of 2.5% (2020: –4.2%) is anticipated, which is above average for pre-crisis years. The level of production from 2019 will thus already be surpassed in 2021 in emerging markets. Overall, production in advanced economies will presumably still be considerably lower.
All this leads to focus on emerging markets like India where growth is the highest. India’s chemical industry is estimated to be worth US $178 billion in FY20 and has potential to reach US $300 billion by FY25. To achieve US $300 billion, the chemical industry needs to grow at a CAGR of 11% in the next five years. This is possible considering government initiatives, growth in the consumer base, changes in lifestyle, increase in disposable incomes and focus on healthcare and hygiene. Apart from this, the coordinated effort from all stakeholders will give a big boost to this sector which is focusing on Aatmanirbhar in a big way.
To move in the big league, Indian Chemical Companies should focus to increase its domestic consumption as well as exports market. Many countries and customers are now looking for China plus one option in the chemical sector and this is a win-win for India as they can leverage on it and also focus on becoming Aatmanirbhar in the chemical sector and should focus on reliability of supply and supply chain efficiency.
