Are you leveraging the power of transformative megatrends, disruptive technologies, and competitive benchmarking to lead in this ever-evolving realm?
Pandemic-era restrictions exposed vulnerabilities in supply networks across multiple industries, most of which were too reliant on procuring essential materials and chemicals from different regions. In today’s post-COVID reality, which remains sensitive to supply chain constraints and geopolitical challenges, the focus is two-fold: maximizing localization and diversifying product offerings. Amid this, chemical and material manufacturers are contemplating strategies like near-shoring, reshoring, and vertical integration as significant growth opportunities. This is already revealing shifts such as:
-
Key industry players are doubling down on recycling, developing in-house capabilities, forging partnerships with third-party recyclers, and pursuing strategic acquisitions to expand their reach.
-
Chemical plants are becoming smaller, flexible facilities that are closer to customers, often proving cost-effective as compared to large-scale operations.
