Overcoming these challenges is just as complex, requiring plants to optimize assets and processes, maximize production, reduce unplanned downtime, and ensure safe, predictable operations that meet overarching business goals. Join us at this special one-day event, as we explore these pressures and how AVEVA’s connected industrial ecosystem is helping your peers to solve these challenges through digitalization. Reduce time to market with AI-powered design tools and efficient project management. Adapt to changing market demands with agile planning and insightful simulations.

India's Petrochemicals industry is a key contributor to the country's economic growth, as it is closely linked to industries such as agriculture, healthcare, textiles, construction, packaging, automotive, and others. Today, it is one of the fastestgrowing Petrochemicals industries in the world and its growth is dependent on various factors such as government initiatives to promote domestic manufacturing, increasing trend towards eco-f riendly and sustainable products, favorable demographic factors, advancements in technology, and the growing demand for end-use products. Moreover, the increasing focus on R&D and innovation, coupled with investments in infrastructure development, will further fuel the growth of Petrochemicals industry.

Agrochemicals are designed to protect crops from insects, diseases, and weeds. It has been a major contributor in making any country self-reliant in food production. The use of agrochemicals primarily aims to ensure abundant food supply for humans, but it may have a negative impact on soil biological activity and diversity through direct or indirect actions. According to reports, the global agrochemical market size is estimated to grow from US $243.55 billion in 2023 to US $296.32 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4%. It is estimated that annual crop losses could double without the use of crop protection products. Food crops must compete with 30,000 species of weeds, 3,000 species of nematode,s and 10,000 species of plant-eating insects. Agrochemicals are the last and one of the key inputs in agriculture for crop protection and better yield.
