CHEMICAL INDUSTRY - STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Chemical Industry is critical for the economic development of any country, providing products and enabling technical solutions for virtually all sectors of the economy.

 

The global chemical industry is witnessing a gradual eastward shift. The industry is increasingly moving eastwards in line with the shift of its key consumer industries (e.g. automotive, electronics, etc.) to leverage greater manufacturing competitiveness of emerging Asian economies (especially India and China) and also to serve the increasing local demand. Substantial new capacities in the world are expected to come up in Asia and Europe. Operating profits in the sector have increased and many companies were able to push stronger cash flows down to the bottom line. However, the overall growth of the chemical sector was hampered by economic slowdown across US and Europe.

 

With Asia’s growing contribution to the global chemical industry, India emerges as one of the focused destination for chemical companies worldwide. With the current size of approximately $108 billion, the Indian chemical industry accounts for ~ 3% of the global chemical industry. Two distinct scenarios for the future emerge, based on how effectively the industry leverages its strengths and manages challenges. In the base case scenario, with current initiatives of Industry and Government, the Indian chemical industry can grow at 11% p.a. to reach size of $224 billion by 2017. High end–use demand based on increasing per capita consumption, improved export competitiveness and resultant growth impact for each sub-sector of the chemical industry can also lead to an overall growth rate of over 15% p.a. and a size of $290 billion by 2017 (~ 6% of global industry). This has a potential for further upside in the future considering India’s increasing competitiveness in manufacturing.

 

The draft manufacturing policy recently approved by the Union Cabinet targets increasing the share of manufacturing in GDP to at least 25% by 2025 (from current 16%). These zones will enjoy fast track clearances from the Environment Ministry and State Pollution Boards, Special Policy Regimes, Tax Concessions and more favourable labour laws. Investments in manufacturing in the chemical sector are absolutely essential to ensure growth of the Indian chemical industry.

 

With rising concerns about climate change and depleting natural resources, focus on sustainability is another key trend impacting the global chemical industry. Chemical companies are increasingly working towards reducing energy intensity of their operations, minimizing effluent discharge, increasing the share of recyclable products in their portfolio and diversifying their raw material base to include bio-feedstock.

 

During last 6-8 months, the Indian Rupee had depreciated by over 22% vis-ŕ-vis US Dollars. This has added to the competitive advantage of Indian Exporters while competing in global markets. Further the devaluation of Indian Rupee has also made imports dearer, thus the share of Indian manufactured goods in domestic consumption is expected to increase.

 

The Company is a manufacturer of Speciality Chemicals with diversified end-uses into Agrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, High Performance Polymers, Paints, Pigments, Printing Inks, Rubber Chemicals, Additives, Surfactants, Dyes, Flavours and Fragrances, Home and Personal Care applications, etc. The Company makes continuous efforts to explore and innovate new products and processes in all segments. This diversified end-user base helps the Company to derisk itself from downturn in any individual business segment and also to capitalize on the growth opportunities in each of the end-user segments. The Company had made substantial Investments during last financial year into upgrading the ETP setup of the Company including setting up additional process to minimise the quantity and impurity profile of the effluents. With these efforts, the Company had upgraded two of its Manufacturing Units into Zero Discharge Unit and also has put in place various processes to control/limit generation of effluents and improve on the treatment of the same.

 

 

Manufacturing Setup for Performance Chemicals and Agri-intermediates and Fertilizers:

 

The manufacturing operations for these two segments are substantially interconnected/interlinked at its common manufacturing units located at Vapi, Sarigam, Jhagadia in the State of Gujarat and at Tarapur in the State of Maharashtra. A significant portion of the Company’s production capabilities are process driven and not based on a particular product. This gives the Company flexibility to change its input mix and manufacture different products, thereby enabling optimum utilization of production capabilities as well as provides flexibility to change the product mix amongst different end-user applications based on market dynamics.

 

The Company manufactures Isomers as well as their downstream products. Because of the vertical integration, The Company enjoys natural insulation against short supply of precursor raw-materials. Thus, consistent supply of products results in to customer confidence and the Company to gain better market share. The Company has also been able to convert its by-products from various processes into commercially viable products, thereby contributing to the profitability of the Company.

 

The Company has global scale of manufacturing units with a varied mix of diversified and value added chain of products supplied to a customer base of over 600 domestic and 300 global customers. The customized delivery solutions have positioned the Company as “Preferred supplier” to various MNCs for past several years. All this have helped the Company to emerge as a market leader in India and also globally ranks at 1st – 5th position for more than 75% of its top 50 products.
