Asia Pacific is Expected to Hold Major Growth
- The Asia Pacific region is known as the major demanding region in the chemical industry around the globe. The demand for specialty chemicals in the region is continuously rising owing to the growth of the construction sector, demand for cosmetic products, and growing investment and production in adhesives.
- To cater to this demand, the regional chemical manufacturers are planning to invest in specialty manufacturing and strengthening 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' the mission of the Indian government. For instance, in November 2021, The Indian Oil board approved INR 3,681 crore plan to set up India's first mega-scale maleic anhydride unit for manufacturing high-value specialty chemicals at its Panipat refinery at Haryana. Such establishment of manufacturing units is further expected to propel the demand for different types of valves for chemical industry applications.
- According to International Chemical Trade Association (ICTA), in June 2021, China set its chemical industry policy direction for five years and focused on building the domestic market by emphasizing quality. Further, with innovation as a prime emphasis, China is focusing on sectors including aerospace, electronics, energy, environmental protection, medical, and defense to supply a variety of chemical products.
- Furthermore, in January 2021, Agilyx, a technology company that enables customers to recycle the most challenging post-use plastics to high-value, virgin-equivalent products, and Toyo Styrene Co., LTD (Toyo Styrene), an affiliate of Denka Company Limited, Nippon Steel Chemical & Material Co., Ltd. and Daicel Co., Ltd., announced that they are entering into the construction phase of a 10 ton per day chemical recycling facility in Japan, enabled by Agilyx depolymerization technology.
- The countries such as China, India, and Japan are taking center stage for innovation in several industries that are the clients of chemical industries. Thus, such developments initiative and growth factors in the chemical industry are further projected to propel the demand for valves in the chemical industry for their operations in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period.
