The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic conditions have severely affected every sector around the world. Whereas, the chemicals and materials sectors were moderately affected during the pandemic. This is primarily due to the uncut demand for chemicals for healthcare, life science, and cleaning agents. However, other elements of chemical and material sectors such as paints, industrial oil, construction materials are facing diminution in demand. Strict lockdown resulted in a nearly 50-60% reduction in supply for raw materials, which directly affected the manufacturing process. Further, halt on many end-use industries directly affected the chemical demand all around the world.
Chemical Distribution Market Overview
Increasing consumption of the chemicals across end-use businesses such as construction, polymers, pharmaceutical, and resins coupled with the high complexity in reaching customers is probable to drive opportunities for the chemical distributions market over coming years.
The chemical industry supplies and produces essential raw material for the companies in industrial and the manufacturing sectors. The feedstocks are distributed to end users by various third-party distributors or sold directly by the manufacturers. Distribution of the commodity and field chemicals by third parties is expected to witness noteworthy growth than sale of products directly to the end users owing to outsourcing of the value-added services, such as packaging, logistics, blending, inventory management, waste removal, and imparting technical training.
The market for chemical distribution is propelled by continued construction activities and robust consumer purchasing power. Commercial investments in housing market are retrieval traction and contributing to the building momentum for chemical industry. Besides, according to report published by the American Chemistry Council, Inc. in 2019, 334 new construction projects, valued over USD 204 billion were proclaimed, which demonstrates constant rise in investments in U.S. economy. The trend is expected to result in significant expansion of manufacturing sector, generating positive impact on overall chemical distribution market.
Chemical Distribution Market Segment Overview
Demand for the specialty construction chemicals distribution in U.S. is driven by increasing trend of green and sustainable infrastructure. Specialty invention distributors are benefiting from demand for such chemicals smooth from developed economies such as Germany, the U.S.and U.K.
Growth in other end-use businesses, such as pharmaceutical, automotive, and electronics coupled with a strong growth in industrial manufacturing sector is expected to drive global demand for chemicals. This factor is supplementary expected to benefit the third-party chemical distribution channel. The global distributors are accepting differentiated channel strategies as product knowledge, local expertise and strong logistics network to gain competitive advantage in highly fragmented market.
Chemical Distribution Regional Overview
Asia Pacific emerged as leading regional market and reported for 58.6% of overall revenue share of chemical distribution in 2019. Growing manufacturing activities along with significant increase in per capita throwaway income is predictable to drive demand for the chemical distribution over forecast period. Countries such as India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand are witnessing expansion of industries such as construction, automotive, and electrical and electronics.
Increasing production capacities by the major chemical companies in the North America in current years has driven shift in trend to third-party distributors as growth platform for increasing into untapped area markets for the chemical distribution. Though, the petrochemical industry in the North America observed slowdown over past few years on account of instable crude oil prices, weak GDP of the Latin America, and recession-stricken economies. Petrochemical manufacture capacity is probable to increase in upcoming years owing to numerous planned facilities across U.S. gulf coast plus Natgasoline and South Louisiana Methanol with expected production of over 1.75 million per MT and 1.8 million every year MT respectively.
Chemical Distribution Market Competitor overview
Acquisition of the small distributors by foremost global distributor companies inlcuding Brenntag AG, MilliporeSigma, and Univar Solutions, has prejudiced to attain economies of scale and emphasis on specialized sales network strategy, rationalizing distributor base, and consolidation of supply chain networks.
Mergers, capacity expansion and acquisitions, are major strategies tracked by companies to diversify product portfolio and upsurge market share on global scale. Main companies are combining growth by increasing existing product ranges to comprise specialty products as well.
