Specialty Chemicals Market Size, Industry Growth, Share, COVID-19 Impact, Demand Structure, Product Analysis, Developments, and Competitive Analysis- 2023

A latest report published by Market Research Future (MRFR) projects that the global market for specialty chemicals will expand at an above-average compound annual growth rate during the assessment period (2018-2023). The broad application spectrum of specialty chemicals has continued to drive their global sales. Moreover, these chemicals are being widely used as an alternative to commodity chemicals due to stricter laws on the use of petroleum based products. The automotive manufacturing sector is one the major consumers of specialty chemicals. Manufacturing of lightweight automotive components such as fenders, energy absorbers, and instrument panels require specialty chemicals as a raw ingredient. However, the constant price fluctuation of specialty chemicals is somewhat playing down investor confidence of late. The aforementioned factors are expected to influence the growth of the global specialty chemicals market over the next couple of years.
