New growth opportunities

Commodity chemicals saw the sharper revenue decline in 2020 than other chemical industry segments and are expected to make a strong come back in the coming year supported by rising oil prices and a rebound in demand in end-user industries. CEOs will need to understand the trends that are shaping the end-user landscape and predict which are temporary and which are more long-term. This data-led approach will help them to recognize new growth opportunities, capitalize on strong M&A and carve-out activity and extract more value from their existing assets. Are you confident you have the tools to drive data-led recovery, meet increasing demand and achieve your cost, cash and growth goals?
