According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Fine Chemicals Market is accounted for $198,455.29 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $374,594.61 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Fine Chemicals refer to pure, single chemical substances that are more often produced in quite small and limited amounts through batch or biotechnological processes followed by synthesis, segregation, and purification. These are characterized by their low volume use as compared to commodity chemicals. Polypeptide, aromatic compounds, monoclonal antibodies, erythropoietin, nucleotides, and plastics additives are some of the common examples of fine chemicals used in various industries. Fine chemicals serve as building blocks in a variety of applications across diverse industries.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand from end user industries


The global fine chemicals market continues to dominate in production of chemicals, due to constant rate of usage in biopharmaceuticals. Global fine chemicals market is expected to witness a steady growth during the forecast period by growth of the major end use industries. Pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, being major consumers of fine chemicals, the growth in these industries is in turn expected to fuel growth of the global fine chemicals market in coming years. A major trend in global fine chemicals market is the manufacturers are producing fine chemicals, which channelizing efforts towards development of efficient processes and newer products. These fine chemicals are produced to gain a competitive advantage, which turns into a higher share in global fine chemicals market. These positive growth of end-user industries such as agrochemicals, construction, and automobiles industries argue well for growth of the global fine chemicals market

Restraint:

Overcapacity problem


Overcapacity problem is the restraining factor for the growth of the market. Overcapacity of between 25 and 40 per cent remains a problem, and will continue to affect the market for intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to the substantial new capacity brought on-stream. Fine chemical overcapacity has led to two or more years of declining profitability, resulting in plant closures and goodwill write-offs; but there is a general consensus that the bottom has finally been reached.

Opportunity:

Increase in construction and production activities


Construction and production activities are considered to be the pillar of growth for a country and also play a major role in increasing the overall global economy. An increase in construction and development activities will most likely increase the demand for raw materials such as adhesives, sealants, inhibitors, heavy reinforcement concrete, protective coating for steel, pigments, and dye, plastic additives, and other raw materials. Since fine chemicals are widely used for the production of these construction materials due to the properties that it provides like longer durability, higher thermal resistance, high strength, and better resistance to corrosion, this can lead to significant growth in Fine Chemicals Market in the upcoming years.

Threat:

Stringent environmental regulations


Stringent rules and regulations regarding the negative effects of fine chemicals on the environment can act as a major constraint for the market. These include regulation and initiatives taken by industrial associations in order to set standards for the management of an organization’s environmental impacts, product certification and issuance of licenses to decrease the harmful impact on the environment and adoption of clean technologies, and improvement in management practices under CREP (Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection) Programmed formulated by the Central Pollution Control Board.

The active pharmaceutical ingredients segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The active pharmaceutical ingredients segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The major reason behind this is the fact that active ingredients are the most important component of any drug since they are the ones who are responsible for fulfilling the purpose of the medication. According to a report published by IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, the overall volume of medicines used across the globe reached around 4.5 trillion doses by 2020 with an approximate cost of around $1.4 trillion. As the demand for medical drug production in the pharmaceutical sectors in countries across the globe increases, the demand for the use of fine chemicals such as polypeptide, erythropoietin, nucleotides, and more are also expected to rise significantly, which can help boost the market growth.

The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The agriculture segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. The fine chemicals are widely used in agriculture. Fine chemical intermediates are mostly used in order to protect the crops from pests and add more nutrients to the soil. The major benefit of using fine chemicals in agriculture is the fact that it protects and increases crop yields that play a vital role in the food chain system. Furthermore, according to the recent reports published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the global food demand across the world is most likely to increase significantly. The FAO reports estimate that world food demand is most likely to increase by 70% by 2050, and most of the global food demand is expected to come from regions such as Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Hence, an increase in food demand will significantly increase the demand for the utilization of agrochemicals that require the use of fine chemicals during their production, hence, boosting the segment growth.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to a strong acceptance and popularity existing in these regions, coupled with a growth of end-user industries. In addition, the major reason behind this is the rising requirement of construction materials, cosmetic products, increasing demand for adhesives and plastics from the packaging industry, and more applications that require the use of fine chemicals boost the market growth. Countries like India and China are also anticipated to take over the global fine chemicals market. This is because of continuous growth of agricultural, construction and automobiles industries in Asia-Pacific.

Region with highest CAGR:

Middle East & Africa is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Fine chemicals are also widely used in the production of construction materials across the world. The FIFA World Cup that is to be held in 2022 in Qatar is expected to generate the huge potential for construction materials used in the country. A company called Larsen and Toubro signed a contract worth $ 360 million along with its joint venture partner in Qatar, in order to build a 40,000 seater stadium. This project required the use of construction materials like adhesives, sealants, inhibitors, heavy reinforcement concrete, protective coating for steel, and other raw materials in order to build such a huge stadium. Likewise, other countries such as Kuwait, Morocco, and Iran are also estimated to have higher growth in the construction sector during the forecast period. All of the above factors will directly result in an increase in demand for fine chemicals required for the production of these raw materials in the region, thus, boosting the market growth.
