The chemical industry in India contributes approximately 3% to the country's annual GDP, making it the third largest industry in Asia and twelfth largest globally. The organic and inorganic sectors of the Indian chemical industry are rapidly growing. Organic chemicals include petrochemicals used to produce synthetic fibers, rubber, dyes, drugs, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Inorganic chemicals produced in India include sulfuric acid, nitric acid, alkalis, soda ash, and caustic soda.

2. WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ABOUT
CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

3. Chemical Industries are the prime factors to
convert the raw materials into desired products
that we use in our day-to-day life. This has
brought a tremendous change in the way the
things operate. It is very important for us to
understand the importance of the chemical
industry which has touched all our facets of life
like Agriculture, Environment, Food, Hygiene,
Décor, and Transportation …etc. It has also
significantly used in re-cycling industries to
reduce waste .Re-cycling helps a lot in utilizing
the waste materials, and gives one more life-
cycle for the products. Also it is its own largest
consumer as basic chemicals undergo further
processes to produce other chemicals

4. More than 80% of the chemical industry concentrates on
producing polymers, and plastics. They are not only used in
packing, but also in numerous other things, like wiring,
furniture, clothing, home décor, prosthesis and electronics.
PVC piping, water tanks,huge storage containers are made
out of plastics.

5. CHEMICAL PRODUCE USED IN
AGRICULTURE
Fertilizers, and pesticides aids in the agriculture and development.
The green revolution has happened only due to the advancement of
chemical industry in India. The fertilizers and pesticides, not only
increase the yield of the crop, but prevent from pest attacks. Apart
from in-house usage of food products within our country, we are
also exporting a lot of grains, fruits, flowers and ornamental stem
to various parts of the world. The GDP of the country drastically
increases with the industry.

6. Pharma industries and life saving drugs are the fastest growing industry in India.
Our country invites a lot of people for medical tour. Numerous laboratories are also
set-up to study various drug for the endemic and epidemic diseases. Before these
laboratories in our country, we have been exporting a lot of chemicals, which was
expensive and mostly unaffordable for a large sector of people.
Advanced researches like bio-engineering, mutation, artificial human organ
production and genetic-reengineering are made possible in India, only with the help
of the proper chemical industries. India is taking a giant leap in research in these
sectors.

9. NOTES FOR YOU😃
• The chemical industry in India is fast growing and diversifying. The following points are important
related to this industry:
• 1.Chemical industries contribute approximately 3% of the Gross Domestic Product of our
country.It is the third largest in Asia and occupies the twelfth place in the world, in terms of its size
• 2.Rapid growth has been recorded in both organic and inorganic sectors.
• 3.Organic chemicals include petrochemicals which are used for manufacturing of synthetic fibres
• 4.Synthetic rubber, dye-stuffs, drugs, pharmaceuticals and plastics. The organic chemical plants are
mainly located near oil refineries or petrochemical plants.
• 5.Inorganic chemicals include sulphuric acid (used to manufacture fertilizers, synthetic
fibres,paints, dye-stuffs, plastics and adhesives), soda ash, alkalies, nitric acid and caustic soda.
These industries are spread in large numbers
