Consumer Chemicals

On the brink of a new era

This sector essentially covers, cosmetics, vitamins and health supplements, soaps, detergents and household chemicals, perfumes and flavors. Growth in this sector is reliant on the increasing affluence of populations in emerging and growth economies and margins are being eroded through greater regulation in areas of environmental impact, public health and workers’ welfare. There is also a need to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources and to develop new value-add products in response to changing consumer demand.

This industry sector is entering an exciting phase of development where the risks and opportunities are very significant. Smart companies are adopting a dual strategy of increasing cost savings and raising product prices where viable to fund increasing R&D costs. In addition, serious investments are needed in automation, information technology and data analytics.
