After the opening of the lockdown across major global economies, the specialty chemical industry was amongst the first to recover, given the increasing need for its inputs towards essential supplies, such as pharmaceuticals, personal health and hygiene, fertilizers, and other agricultural needs. Agrochemicals and pharma-chemicals were the first ones to revive owing to their application in essential products, such as food and medicines, respectively. The major agrochemical companies have shown approximately 38% improvement in stock prices since the initial lockdown started on March 24, 2020, compared to approximately 23 % by Sensex in general. Further, the Government of India’s initiatives, western countries focusing on ‘China plus one’ strategy, and companies moving away from China present opportunities for India to recover. Additionally, agrochemical manufacturing represents a highly profitable and lucrative opportunity. To meet the rising diversified food demand, the commercial cultivation of high-value crops is increasing rapidly in recent years. Farmers are demanding superior quality agrochemicals which are balanced and nutritive, which is one of the key drivers.
The speciality chemicals market in India was valued at USD200 billion in 2019 with basic chemicals, also known as commodity chemicals or bulk chemicals, accounting for a majority share of 56%. The specialty chemicals industry is driven by both domestic consumption and exports. India’s specialty chemical companies are gaining favor with international multinational companies on account of the geopolitical shift after the outbreak of COVID-19 as the world looks to reduce its dependence on China. Currently, China accounts for approximately 17% to 18% of the world’s exportable specialty chemicals, whereas India accounts for only 1% to 2%, indicating that India has a large scope of improvement and widespread opportunity. It is anticipated that specialty chemicals will be the next great export pillar for India. Overall, the specialty chemicals industry is likely to continue to perform well in the near to medium term and is expected to capitalize on the ‘Make in India’ benefits to assume a leadership position in the market.
