The specialty chemicals industry in India is growing rapidly due to rising domestic demand and export opportunities. Specialty chemicals account for 18% of the total chemical industry in India, which is one of the fastest growing in the world. The industry has benefited from government initiatives like tax reductions, production linked incentive schemes, and improvements to ease of doing business. Global trends are also positively impacting India as environmental regulations tighten in China and companies look to diversify supply chains away from China. If India can capture a portion of the global specialty chemicals market from China, its chemical industry has the potential to double in size. However, challenges remain around research and development, scale, and expanding domestic demand.

Indian Chemical Industry Challenges and OpportunitiesResurgent India
Chemicals are one of the key input materials that are used across a wide range
of industrial and consumer sector. On account of its wide-ranging application, the
chemical manufacturing sector has emerged as a key economic activity in the
country.
A key constituent of the Indian economy that accounts for about five percent of the GDP, the Indian chemical industry has vital associations with several other industries such as automotives, consumer durables, food processing, iron and steel, textiles, paper, and engineering, among others. It is the eighth largest sector in the world and the third largest in Asia by volumes, after China and Japan. This report encompasses an assessment of the chemicals industry in India, within the context of the global industry, and the opportunities and challenges it presents. The country’s chemical industry was estimated at USD 91 billion in 2011 and we believe that it has the potential to reach USD 134 billion by 2015 growing at a CAGR of 10 percent. The growth is expected to be driven by rising demand in end-use segments and expanding exports fuelled by increasing export competitiveness. The dynamics that propel the industry, namely opportunities, competition, infrastructure investment and regulatory policies are also studied in the report.
The report is presented by TATA Strategic Management Group with an objective to highlight key trends in the Indian bulk liquid storage industry and opportunities present in this sector
Specialty Chemicals Sector Unleash Towards Growth as Market Turns OptimisticTechSci Research
Benzene: Recovery in demand for Benzene from Pharmaceuticals and Solvent Industries has positively influenced the prices of Benzene. CFR prices of the produce settled around $335/tonne, up by $25/tonne in South Asia.
Specialty chemicals are produced by a complex, interlinked industry. These are chemical products that are sold on the basis of their performance or function, rather than for their composition. They can be single-chemical entities or formulations (combinations of several chemicals) whose composition sharply influences the performance and processing of the consumer product. Products and services in the specialty chemicals industry require intensive knowledge and ongoing innovation.TatvaChintan is one of the world’s leading specialty chemical company in the Pharmaceutical Drug Development Industry.
Production of Chemicals (2-Chloro-6 (Trichloromethyl) -Pyridine, Alkylamines, Alum, Zinc Sulphate, Sulfur and Sulfuric Acid, Solvents, Silicone Resin, Silica Gel Sio2nh2o, Salicylic Acid, Saccharin, Rubber & Rubber Chemicals, Resorcinol (3-Hydroxy Phenol), Red Lead (Pb3o4), Red Iron Oxide, Potassium Permanganate (Kmno4), Plasticiser, Phosphorus and Phosphates, Perfumery, Fragnance and Flavour)
The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world economy, it converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals) into more than 70,000 different products.
The plastics industry contains some overlap, as most chemical companies produce plastic as well as other chemicals.

Feedstock availability, difficult access to latest technology and unfavourable duty structures have led to muted investments resulting in a plethora of chemicals being imported in India across the value chain. The net imports have risen from USD 2.6 bn in FY08 to USD 13.8 bn in FY15. Imports of several chemicals and polymers today are equivalent to a global scale plant output. With chemical demand shifting towards Asia, and China reassessing its chemical industry play, it could offer opportunities for chemical companies to invest selectively in India. To top it, government’s enhanced focus on `Make in India` and several states making chemicals as one of the preferred industries will facilitate realizing such opportunities. To make the most of the USD 12 bn opportunity in petrochemical intermediates, we believe companies need to reassess their business model & manufacturing footprint.
Growth Outlook for Indian Chemical IndustryBinay Agrawal
TATA Strategic has classified the chemical industry in India into 4 key segments, based on a detailed analysis of the industry. India currently accounts for only 3.3 % of the total chemical market with a market size of ~$ 0.12 trillion in 2013. Indian chemical industry is also a much diversified industry with more than 70,000 commercial products. It accounted for ~13% of the gross value added by the industry segment. It accounted for ~13% of the total India's export.Indian chemical sector is very crucial for the economic development of country.
Over the last five years Indian chemical industry has started to evolve rapidly. With significant capacity additions coming into place,
the focus has also been towards investments in R&D. India's competence in this
knowledge intensive industry is increasing however still the tapped potential is very
limited. The current low per capita consumption (~7 kgs for polymers in India as
compared to world average of 25 kgs) suggests that the demand potential is also yet
to be realized. Moreover India has a very strong outlook for the key end user
industries (e.g. Packaging is expected to grow at ~17% p.a. over the next five years,
Electronic is expected to grow at ~15% p.a. over the next five years, Construction and
Automotive both sectors are expected to grow at ~14% p.a. over the next five years).
Hence, going ahead the demand of chemical products is expected to surge strongly at
10-11 % p.a. over the next five years.
To meet this increasing demand either the local production will have to ramp up or
the imports will have to go up. Indian Govt. has increased its focus towards domestic
manufacturing with the intent of increasing the share of manufacturing in GDP from
16% to 25% by 2022.
Chemical industry is a capital as well as knowledge intensive industry. This industry plays a significant role in the global economic and social development. It is also a human resource intensive industry and hence generates lots of employment. Globally, more than 20 million people are expected to employ in this industry. The diversification within the chemical industry is huge and covers more than thousands of commercial products. Global chemical market size was estimated at $3.6 trillion in 2011 and is expected to grow at 4-5% per annum over the next decade to reach ~$5.8 trillion by 2021.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

An Opportunity for Make in India
2. Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 02
The Indian Chemical Industry is one of the fastest-growing industry in the world and contributed to ~6.6%
of national gross domestic product. Currently, it ranks 3rd in Asia and 6th in the world with respect to
output, after the US, China, Germany, Japan and South Korea and is expected to reach USD 286 billion by
2025, up from USD 187 billion in 2020 with a CAGR of ~9%. Specialty Chemicals segment constitutes about
18% of the total chemical industry in India.
The specialty chemicals industry in India has witnessed a constant growth over the past few years, driven
by a strong traction in the end-user markets, and emergence of India as the preferred manufacturing
destination for companies across the globe. It has been one of the best performing segments in the Indian
manufacturing sector.
From a trading perspective, specialty chemicals account for a significant share of more than 50 percent of
the chemicals exports. Within the specialty chemicals segment, manufacturing of fine chemicals (pesticide
ingredients as well API), flavour & fragrance ingredients, surfactants and dyes and pigments are expected
to be most attractive segments in the next half decade.This is due to their strong growth potential, highly
differentiated products folio and high penetration levels.
The emerging trends in the global chemical industry is considered to positively impact the Indian chemical
industry. Chemicals manufacturing is beginning to shift away from China as well as developed nations of
the West to newer, attractive destinations like India.This is mainly on account of stringent environmental
norms enforced on manufacturing companies in China, reducing cost competency due to high tariff rates
imposed on their trade resulting from US-China trade wars, increasing cost of labour etc, supply chain
disruptions caused due to COVID-19-induced lockdown resulting in rethinking of supply chains and a move
towards deglobalization. Global Chemical majors are now looking for alternatives to China for optimizing
their supply chain and also exploring opportunities to shift closer to the demand centers.
China presently accounts for a major share of the world’s exportable specialty chemicals, whereas India
accounts for merely 1-2% indicating that the country has a huge potential to capitalize on the huge
opportunity. By capturing a significant portion of the global market away from China, the Indian chemical
industry has the potential to double in size by encouraging investment through incentives, coupled with
ease of doing business.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3. Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India
Growth in domestic demand resulting from rise in demand in different end-user industries coupled with
opportunities in the export market due to the global trends show a great opportunity for India to establish
itself as a global chemical / specialty chemical manufacturing powerhouse.
The Government of India have played a pro-active role to ensure that India is able to leverage this strong
growth opportunity. Factors like competitive advantage due to the reduction in corporate taxes, PLI scheme
for various downstream industries, 100% FDI in the chemical sector through automatic route, the PCPIR
policy, other schemes promoting Make in India and significant improvement in Ease of Doing Business
indicate a bright future for the Indian chemical industry in the coming years.
Additionally, India’s strong process engineering capabilities, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and
abundant skilled manpower are leading to an array of opportunities for imports and exports of specialty
chemicals. Likewise, increased spending on research along with large investments in capital expenditure
are aiding the growth of newer and more efficient processes and products which augur well for the growth
of the specialty chemicals industry in India.The financial performance of sample companies in this sector
over the past 5 years have shown CAGR revenue growth of ~ 20% and a huge jump in the market
capitalization implying the confidence of the capital markets in the growth story of the specialty chemicals
industry.
While India aims to emerge as a manufacturing hub for the world, there are likely to be a few challenges in
the near term. Therefore, the country should also focus on aspects such as research and development,
capital investment, acquisitions, economies of scale, and most importantly, expanding domestic demand
to sustain the rising growth of the industry.

Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 08
Specialty chemicals are derivatives of basic
chemicals that are manufactured for specific
end-use solutions. These chemicals are geared
toward specific services and customer needs,
rather than general use. These are typically
manufactured in lower volumes but enjoy higher
realizations due to the complexities involved in the
manufacturing process. These products are
primarily used as additives or provide specific
attributes to end products. There is extensive
research & development (R&D) and product
innovation involved in developing specialty
chemicals to make it the differentiator over
commodity chemicals.
The market for specialty chemicals is highly
fragmented and the global market was valued at
USD 847 Bn in 2020 with a CAGR of at 4% over 2015
to 2020 and is estimated to grow to ~USD 1,090 Bn
by 2025, led by the growth in Asian markets.

9. Specialty Chemicals – Global market segmentation
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 09
Specialty chemicals are classified into the
following segments:
End-use driven segments (agrochemicals,
personal care ingredients, polymer additives,
water chemicals, textile chemicals and
construction chemicals) and
Application - driven segments (surfactants,
flavours and fragrances and dyes and
pigments).
Agrochemicals is the largest subsegment with a
share of 12% in the global Specialty chemicals
market followed with food additives and
construction chemicals with ~9% share.
Specialty Chemicals – Global market dynamics
There has been a paradigm shift in the dynamics of international trade for specialty chemicals. With the
manufacturing activity and the consumption growth shifted in favor of the Asian markets over the last
couple of decades, Asia has gone on to become a net exporter for a wide range of specialty chemicals,
which were earlier being imported from European countries and North America.
China currently commands 26% of the global market share of specialty chemicals. India’s share of the
market is around 4%. However, India’s specialty chemicals industry is predicted to grow rapidly, outpacing
China, Japan and the rest of the world in percentage terms. Its market share is expected to increase from
4% to 6% by 2026, on the back of strong revenue growth that is expected during this period.

10. China - the leader in the global chemical industry
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 10
China is the largest chemical producer in the
world with the highest market share (39%) in the
global chemical industry followed by European
Union (EU) (15%) and United States (US) (13%).
India accounts for ~4% market share in global
chemicals market.
Till the late 1980s, the US was the industry leader
by manufacturing chemicals for domestic use in
the oil & gas industry as well as other sectors.
Later, Europe started dominating this business
through exports, while the US and Japan
remained key producers.
However, over the last two decades, there has
been a significant shift in production to emerging
markets, particularly Asia, especially in the
specialty chemicals space, on the back of strong
growth in end-user industries.This is reflected in
an increase in China's share in the global
chemicals industry from 6% in 2000 to around
39% in 2020.

11. 01. Government initiatives for the manufacturing sector:
Prior to 2008, Chinese government policies had focused on attracting foreign
investment through a series of favorable tax and business incentives that enabled
low-cost production for exports, leading to an influx of foreign investments into
China. For example - foreign companies in China paid a corporate tax of 15% and were
granted tax breaks that lasted for years, whereas Chinese companies paid a tax of 30%
and enjoyed no tax breaks.
The differential tax incentives for foreign investors, easy availability of credit and
relaxed environmental norms allowed industry to flourish and transformed China into
the world's largest manufacturer for a number of industries, including chemicals.
02. Self-sufficiency in feedstock:
There has been substantial capacity additions in petrochemicals in China over the last
several years. In 2018-19, China contributed 55% of the total new capacity addition in
petrochemical building blocks globally; and was expected to contribute ~70% of the
global capacity addition over the next 5 years.The Chinese Government's decision to
open up the petrochemicals sector to private investments has spurred investments by
the MNCs and private sector in integrated mega-refining and petrochemical
complexes.

12. 01. Stringent environment norms:
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 12
The Chinese government started implementing stricter environmental protection
norms from January 2015. In 2017, an estimated 40% of the chemical manufacturing
capacity in China was temporarily shut down for safety inspections, with over 80,000
manufacturing units charged and fined for breaching emission limits. China’s Ministry
of Environmental Protection has been enforcing strict penalties on polluting
industries, including on chemical facilities. Additionally, in 2016, the Government of
China set a goal of shutting down or relocating nearly 1,000 chemical plants that
either used older technology or were located near theYangtze River.
The Chinese government enforced the construction of compulsory effluent treatment
plants and imposed green tax on the chemicals industry to combat pollution, resulting
in an overall increase in the cost of production, due to capital expenses towards
effluent treatment as well as a rise in cost of compliance.
02. Uncertainty created by the US-China trade war:
The trade war between US and China resulted in USA imposing a 25% tariff on USD
50 Bn worth of Chinese imports in June 2018, across two phases, which was retaliated
by China by announcing a similar levy of tariffs on imports from US worth USD 50Bn.
Chemicals and plastics comprised almost 40% of the 106 products targeted by US for
imposition of tariffs. There has subsequently been multiple rounds of tariff
announcements by both the countries followed by talks of a trade deal, creating an
atmosphere of uncertainty amongst the industry players across the globe and
affecting fresh capital spending by chemical majors.
Recent developments in China have resulted in the chemical industry growth in China losing the earlier
momentum. The domestic chemicals industry in China is witnessing a slowdown as a result of slower
economic growth. China’s GDP is projected to grow at a much lower pace over the next few years, as
against the 8-10% growth witnessed over the decade from 2009-2018. Along with this, a host of other
factors have helped initiate the big shift in chemicals manufacturing from China to other countries such as
India:
Chinese dominance – losing steam
03. Tightening of financing availability for oversupplied industries such as chemicals:
In the initial years, easy availability of credit at affordable costs aided the Chinese
chemical manufacturers to undertake huge capital investments for setting up
mega-scale plants. In 2014, however, China’s main bank supervisor announced that
the credit flow to oversupplied industries would be restricted, and this applied to
certain parts of chemical industry as well, thereby making the eligibility criteria for
new credit to such industries stricter.This has led to higher-than-average interest rates
being charged to chemical manufacturers, hampering their ability to undertake new
projects and enhance capacities.

04. COVID outbreak resulting in rethinking of supply chains and a move towards deglobalization:
The shutdowns and supply chain disruptions from China during the coronavirus
outbreak, drew attention to the ways in which the global specialty
chemical/pharmaceutical manufacturers have been dependent upon China. For
example, China constitutes 40% of the global API manufacturing. Companies across
the world are now adopting strategies that focus on dual or diversified sourcing such
as a China+1 strategy, reducing supply chain complexity, and localizing
manufacturing where feasible.
05. Rising labour costs in China
The labour cost (hourly cost of compensation) in China was lower than that of India till
2007. Over the last few years, this cost has more than doubled compared with India,
rendering Chinese manufacturers’ uncompetitive vis-à-vis India in terms of labour
cost.
All these factors are pushing the capital expenditure and operating costs upwards, making Chinese
chemical companies less competitive in the export market.
With China's supply chain disrupted and uncertain, global
players are looking to diversify their sourcing, and India
offers a strong alternative with comparable scale,
technology, raw materials, and supportive government
policies. India also offers a large pool of trained manpower
at relatively low costs which can facilitate R&D efforts that
are important for the growth of the specialty chemical
industry. By capturing a significant portion of the global
market away from China, the Indian chemical industry has
the potential to double in size by encouraging investment
through incentives, coupled with ease of doing business.

15. The Indian Chemical Industry - Overview
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 15
The chemical industry is a major industry in the
Indian economy.This industry contributed ~6.6% of
national gross domestic product and accounted for
~15%-17% of India’s manufacturing sector in FY20.
The chemical industry in India is one of the
fastest-growing in the world. Currently, it ranks 3rd
in Asia and 6th in the world with respect to output,
after the China, United States, Germany, Japan and
South Korea.
India’s chemical industry was estimated to be worth
USD 187 Bn in FY20 with a significant potential to
reach USD 286 Bn by FY25. In terms of demand, the
industry has grown at approximately 1.5 times the
country’s average GDP growth in the last five years
and shows a strong linkage with its GDP
.
At present, approximately 30% of India’s chemical
requirements are met by imports indicating that
there is an ample opportunity for import
substitution and the Government’s push towards
building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India)
is aiding this growth.

Trade patterns in Indian Chemical Market
Overall, India is a net importer of chemicals. However, this does not hold true across all of the chemicals
value chain.
India is largely self-sufficient when it comes to petrochemical building blocks (such as ethylene, propylene,
benzene etc.) with Reliance Industries (RIL) and public sector majors, such as ONGC, Indian Oil (IOCL),
Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), having large refining capacities.
However, majority of the petrochemical building blocks manufactured by India are channelized towards
bulk polymers, thereby making the other specialty chemical sub-segments dependent upon imports for
their feedstock requirements. As a result, India continues to be a net importer of petrochemical
intermediates and bulk chemicals. As we move downstream, towards value added specialty chemicals,
India is a net exporter, being a key supplier for a wide array of specialty chemicals for players across the
globe.
India’s chemical exports has been increasing over the years and touched USD 39Bn in 2020 at a CAGR of
~13% achieved from 2015 to 2019, compared to 7% for China.The key sub-segments likely to benefit from
higher exports in coming years would be dyes and pigments and agrochemicals, with export shares of
45-50% and 50-55%, respectively. According to World IntegratedTrade Solution (under World Bank), in 2018,
the top partner countries and regions to which India exported chemicals were United States, China, Brazil,
United Arab Emirates and Germany contributing to ~35% of the total of India’s chemical exports.

industry in India.
It has been consistently growing faster than the
overall chemicals industry, with a CAGR of ~12% in
the period from 2015-2020. This growth has been
driven by a combination of an increase in domestic
demand from end-user segments and strong export
growth.
India's specialty chemicals industry is quite
fragmented, with most sub-segments having a
handful of scaled up players.
Share of companies in the organized sector in the
Indian specialty chemicals market is only 30% with
the unorganized sector servicing the balance 70%.
The per capita consumption level of specialty chemicals in India is far below the global average, which
provides significant opportunities to the Indian chemical industry. Further, rapid urbanization and a
growing young population with disposable income would lead to rising demand for end-user industries
such as food processing, personal care and home care further adding to the specialty chemical sector’s
growth.

23. Indian Specialty Chemical Industry - Trends
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 23
Indian specialty chemicals industry has been commonly categorized on the basis of the end-user industries
they serve. Indian companies have focused on developing expertise in a particular chemistry and
developed products that derive applications across a wide spectrum of industries.This has also involved
identifying means of monetizing the co-products and by-products in the same value chain. Various themes
are being adopted by players in this sector.
INDIANSPECIALTY
CHEMICALINDUSTRY
A. Specialization in select molecules and chemistries:
Some Indian specialty chemicals companies have focused on expanding into niche
molecules/segments, which form a relatively smart part of the business for multi-national companies,
thereby attracting limited competition from them.These segments offer significant growth in the Indian
context while being unattractive a size for large corporations to operate in, and hence insulate such
companies from foreign competition.These are undertaken in the following manner:
• By focusing on 2-3 niche molecules and their derivatives and building significant capacities in these
segments
• Continuous R&D effort for differentiation through expertise in process chemistry
• Investments in forward and backward integration towards building an integrated business model
An integrated business model helps the company to establish a diverse customer base spanning across
end-user industries, and provides a steady and predictable revenue stream which is resilient to cyclical
downturns in any specific end-user market.
Some examples of Indian companies who have successfully adopted this model of specialisation
successfully are as under:
B. Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS)
Global players have been outsourcing parts of their manufacturing activity to strategic partners who
can offer stable supplies over a long-term period at competitive prices, while protecting the intellectual
property rights (IPR). CRAMS has been important because the time and cost involved in development
new molecules has been increasing due to extensive investment in R&D activities, apart from
engineering resources to commercialize and bring new products to the market. The track record of
Indian companies, process chemistry skills, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and a large base of
highly qualified and skilled manpower, make India a preferred destination for CRAMS. India's IPR
protection policies also provide a significant competitive edge over China as strong control over IPR is
a critical factor for global innovators.

INDIANSPECIALTY
CHEMICALINDUSTRY
C. Environmentally friendly specialty chemicals in India
The rising pollution and harm caused to water bodies owing to emission of harmful chemical effluents
into water is leading to rise in concern of sustainability and hence the concept of “Green Chemicals” in
India is evolving. These are products which are bio-degradable and provide higher performance and
functionality while being more environmentally benign throughout its entire life- cycle, including its
design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal.
Green chemicals acceptance in the market is a challenge due to the high initial cost of such products.
However, their usage over a period of time has shown a reduction in price by approximately 18-20%
leading to higher Return on Investments (“ROI”). It is a matter of time when the adoption of these new
age products will be made mandatory and obligatory. Indian government bodies such as the
Department of Science andTechnology, the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, and the Department
of Pharmaceuticals, are beginning to organize various green chemistry initiatives and in some cases
partner with SMEs to partially fund investments in green technology. There’s a clear upward trend
driven by public policies promoting environment-friendly technologies.
D. Increasing automation and digitalization
Adoption of contactless technologies and digital experiences (e.g., advanced analytics, 5G) has
increased.There is increased automation through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that is being used
in production, marketing and sales, and also R&D; real time information and pattern recognition are
being used to drive better management of processes and systems. By leveraging advanced data
analytics and digital technologies, chemical companies have become more agile, innovative,
responsive, and efficient.
E. Focusing on Customer-centricity
Customer expectations and behaviors have changed dramatically over the past decade, especially in
the wake of COVID-19. In future, chemical companies could try to leverage digital technologies to
enable automated trend sensing and social media scanning (using text analytics) to identify broader
market trends and customer requirements. This customer-centric innovation, which solicits real-time
feedback through customer engagement tools, could help improve the scope, scale, and returns of R&D
efforts.
25. Factors likely to benefit Indian Specialty Chemicals Industry
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 25
Over the last few years, a number of factors have been coming into play, which can benefit the overall
growth of the specialty chemicals industry in India.
INDIANSPECIALTY
CHEMICALINDUSTRY
1. Rise in demand in different end-user industries
India is one of the fastest growing consumption markets in the world, wherein the per capita specialty
chemical consumption continues to be significantly low, representing a huge potential for growth.
Growing disposable incomes, rapid urbanization are factors that are likely to drive strong growth in the
end-user industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, construction, electronics, dyes and pigments,
among others. This provides a tremendous potential for Indian companies to expand their market,
target key segments and states for demand-creation and build a dominant position for themselves in
the market.
2. China+1 strategy gaining momentum
The US-China trade war, the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns in China, closure of
plants in countries such as EU and China owing to increasing environmental concerns has caused
immense disruption in the supply chain. This has opened doors for Indian manufacturers to invest
further in specialty chemicals, as global chemical companies look to de-risk their supply chains, by
looking at India as a resilient yet complementary alternative to China. India has already benefitted from
this trend, with select chemical sectors such as agrochemicals, dyes & pigments seeing increased
export demand. This export opportunity is likely to grow further as domestic players further equip
themselves to cater to this demand trend.
While India also faces threat from environmental concerns, the threat is limited to smaller players and
could serve as an opportunity for larger players to capture the market. Some of the large players have
already taken the initiative and established themselves in global markets like the EU and US with an
active export revenue share.

developing truly innovative and unique products. Even some of the larger players in India spend less
than 3% of their revenue towards R&D activities vis-à-vis 6-10% spent by their global counterparts.The
government is aiming to increase India’s public investment in R&D to ~2 per cent of GDP by FY25.The
specialty chemicals industry is also likely to raise its spending to 5-6 per cent of revenues during this
period.
Indian chemical companies have realized the importance of research and development (R&D), and are
investing in R&D efforts, and benefitting in terms of innovative, more efficient, and value-added
products.
5. M&A activities:
Scaling Up - Operations of majority of the specialty chemical manufacturers in India are at a
significantly lower scale, severely impacting their ability to be cost competitive with their Chinese
counterparts. In this context, some companies, such as those in the agrochemical segment, have
been consolidating to gain scale and lower costs, by acquiring related businesses and combining
R&D, production, sales and logistics activities.
Acquire technology and expertise - With an emphasis on acquiring technology, targeting small to
mid-sized firms in Europe, Japan, and the U.S., for acquisitions / strategic tie-ups can be beneficial
for the Indian companies with resources to expand.They can explore acquiring or partnering with
companies in these geographies with expertise in specific innovative chemistries, industry and
efficient technologies which will help in implementing advanced technologies in their domestic
manufacturing capabilities.
Diversification - Another powerful M&A motivator, is to open up new revenue streams and diluting
concentration risk.
Access to Feedstock - Acquisitions can enable Indian companies in gaining access to feedstock that
allows them to protect a competitive position and prepare for possible shortages of critical raw
materials.

6. Availability of skilled manpower and strong labor cost advantage
India has abundant skilled manpower, with the country producing one of the largest pools of Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics graduates globally. Additionally, India has the lowest cost of
labor among the top six chemical producers. For e.g., labor costs in India are 1/3rd of China even after
adjustments for productivity.
7. Import Substitution
At present, approximately 30% of India’s chemical requirements are met by imports indicating that
there is an ample opportunity for import substitution.
The Government’s push towards building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) is aiding this
move towards import substitution. Some Indian companies have been taking advantage of this policy
and adding capacities. For example, BPCL has added downstream capacities in chemicals, where India
is a net importer such as specialty petrochemicals derived from propylene like acrylic acid, polyols and
butyl acrylates. Others competitors of BPCL are also planning to replicate this by setting up similar
units.

Future Outlook
Specialty Chemicals - An opportunity for Make in India 29
INDIANSPECIALTY
CHEMICALINDUSTRY
The domestic demand growth coupled with opportunities in the export market due to the global trends
show a great opportunity for India to establish itself as a global chemical / specialty chemical
manufacturing powerhouse.The growth of the Specialty chemical industry will be driven by:
The success of the Government of India’s Make in India initiative and 100% FDI introduced for chemical
industry which will positively impact the specialty chemicals segment.
Competitive manufacturing costs, higher investments in R&D, cheaper raw material
availability/transport, strong demand from end-use segments, overall supportive ecosystem, etc are
aiding the growth of the specialty chemicals segment.
Stringent laws on anti-dumping will have a bearing on the growth of the Indian chemical market.
Within the specialty chemicals segment, manufacturing of fine chemicals (pesticide ingredients as well
API), flavour & fragrance ingredients, surfactants and dyes and pigments are expected to be the most
attractive segments in the coming years.This is due to their strong growth potential, highly differentiated
products portfolio and high penetration levels.
On the back of good opportunities for growth domestically and globally in the specialty chemicals
marketplace, Indian chemical companies have been incurring capex as they move up and / or down in the
value chain to expand their product mix through value-added and high margin products in order to capture
the growing market opportunities:
SRF plans to spend INR 15,000 Cr over the next five years, dedicating ~80% of the Capex to its
chemicals business

Domestic and overseas companies have been investing in greenfield or brownfield projects in India. It has
been predicted by various analysts that capital spending in FY2023 by companies within the sector is
expected to exceed the INR 5,000 Cr spent before the pandemic in fiscal 2020.There has also been M&A
activity in the specialty chemicals space over the past few years which have enabled companies in adding
capacities.
In the Indian context, this sector has been a clear outperformer over the last 3-4 years in terms of earnings
delivery, and future growth prospects are also promising on the back of accelerated capex.
As seen in the Key performance indicators section of this Report, it is observed that the financial
performance of Indian companies in the Specialty Chemical space have shown consistent growth in
keeping with the prevailing growth seen in this sector. It can be seen that revenues of companies in this
space have grown at an average CAGR of ~ 20% in the period between FY 2018 to FY 2022, with gross
margins at ~45% and operating profits of ~23% suggesting a healthy growth in this sector and good
potential for further growth.
As per a report by Care Ratings, while a slowdown in demand from foreign countries due to near-term
recessionary conditions in major global economies could temporarily pressure profitability margins, the
sector is well-positioned for decent double-digit growth until FY30.
Themes like China+1 and import substitution are very much relevant and some companies are reaping the
benefits of the same. R&D-centric growth approach has enabled select companies to compete with China
in terms of pricing as well as quality without having a matching scale. This approach makes these
companies strong contenders as substitutes when the western world is aggressively look to reduce its
dependence on China and augurs well for the growth of this sector in India.
