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.

India's chemicals logistics industry is witnessing phenomenal growth due to rising domestic consumption, increased exports, and the country's favorable geography for freight transportation. India is the third-largest producer of chemicals in Asia and sixth largest in the world, contributing around 3% of India's GDP. The market size of the Indian chemicals industry is expected to grow from US$ 220 billion in 2022 to US$ 800 billion -1 trillion by 2040, reflecting a massive growth opportunity.

The Indian Chemical Industry is projected to grow by 11 to 12 percent during 2021–27 and by 7 to 10 percent during 2027–40, thereby tripling its global market share by 2040. This growth is expected to be driven by the rising domestic consumption. India is expected to account for more than 20 percent of incremental global consumption of chemicals over the next two decades. Domestic demand is expected to rise from $170 billion to $180 billion in 2021 to $850 billion to $1,000 billion by 2040. The chemical industry is a very wide definition of a large group of industries with very different products, from plastics and organic acids to fertilizers, drugs, and pesticides.

Cement companies face challenges in maintaining product quality when their product needs to be blended with third-party additives to achieve a predictable and consistent result. The calculations required to blend the chemical characteristics and mining parameters necessary to extract material from the mine with keeping the cost of third-party raw materials to a minimum, and at the same time maintaining a consistent, quality product are usually a struggle. Frequently those calculations are completed in a spreadsheet or by guesswork resulting in excess additive cost and an increase in product variability.
