The sector faces numerous challenges, from growing environment legislation, improving its public perception, commoditisation of maturing products, together with optimising R&D, to managing fluctuating raw material and energy prices.
Despite this, some sub-sectors, such as ingredients for consumer products, industrial gases and coatings continue to demonstrate resilient growth. However, the ongoing expansion of free trade agreements and the opening of international borders are enhancing competition in many product areas. This is combination with the quest to embrace innovation from new products is driving the international consolidation currently underway.
Our extensive network of senior international company relationships throughout the industry, combined with knowledge and contacts to financial sponsors looking to develop a broader position in the sector, allows us help clients address the challenges, whilst maximising the opportunities in what is an increasingly competitive sector.
