Supply, demand and
dynamics of bio-based
chemical business
A Pöyry Insight
Bio-based chemical and polymer industry
is acknowledged to be a complex field and
a tough business to forecast. There are
numerous technologies and routes from
feedstocks to chemicals and end-use
applications. In addition, there is a lack of
solid understanding of the demand side and
the added value of bio-based components.
After years of focused work, Pöyry has
gained an unique know-how of the bio-based
industry and developed the procedures and
tools to do forecasts encompassing both
supply and demand.
As part of our service, Pöyry is launching a
multiclient report in January 2015, entitled
”BioSight up to 2025 – Supply, demand and
dynamics of bio-based chemical business”
This multiclient aims to broaden
understanding on the current status and
future development, and provides answers to
the following key questions:
• SUPPLY: How will the global production of
bio-based chemicals develop through to
2025?
• TECHNOLOGY: Which are the key
processes within the bio-based chemical
and polymer sectors?
• DEMAND: What is driving the demand? Is
there an added value for brand owners?
• PARTNERING: What are the main
partnering strategies and the rules of the
game?
