Ottawa, Dec. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global specialty chemicals market size was valued at USD 836.94 billion in 2022 and the sector is growing at a CAGR of 4.06% between 2023 and 2032.
The specialty chemicals market is driven by increasing R&D investments, growing demand from the end-use industry, technological advancements, and the growing demand for bio-based chemicals.
Specialty chemicals, also known as specialty or fine chemicals, refer to unique and high-value chemical products that are produced in smaller quantities and are often tailored for specific applications. These chemicals are distinct from commodity chemicals, which are produced in larger volumes and are more basic in terms of their composition. Specialty chemicals are designed to meet the specific needs and requirements of particular industries or applications, and they often involve complex formulations and advanced manufacturing processes.

The growing launch of renewable-based chemicals also propelled the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2023, a new grade of 2-Ethylhexanol (2-EH) with a 100% renewable, traceable mass-balanced carbon content was introduced by leading specialty chemicals pioneer Perstorp. From the cradle to the Perstorp gate, the product has a negative carbon footprint when accounting for the biogenic CO2 uptake absorbed by the renewable raw materials employed. 2-EH Pro 100 was created to reduce carbon emissions along the whole value chain.

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Some of the biggest agricultural economies in the world are found in this region. The need to increase agricultural production to feed the world's expanding population is driving a significant demand for specialized chemicals in agrochemicals, fertilizers, and crop protection products. For instance, by 2025, the Indian agriculture industry is expected to reach US$ 24 billion, according to Inc42. With 70% of revenues coming from retail, the Indian food and grocery sector is the sixth largest in the world. India exported US$ 43.37 billion worth of agricultural and processed foodstuffs in FY23 (April 2022–January 2023). The nation produces 330.5 million tons of foodgrains overall, according to the third Advance Estimates for FY23 (Kharif alone).
According to the Second Advance Estimates of National Income, the GVA of agriculture and related industries made up 18.3% of the overall GDP in 2022–2023 and grew at a pace of 3.3%. Additionally, the need for eco-friendly and sustainable products, along with growing consumer awareness of environmental problems, is driving the specialty chemicals industry. This tendency is especially noteworthy in China, South Korea, Japan, and other nations where consumers have begun to care more about the environment. Thus, this is expected to drive the market growth in the region during the forecast period.

Application Insights
The pharmaceutical ingredients segment is expected to capture a significant revenue share over the forecast period. The specialty chemicals market plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry by supplying a diverse range of specialty chemicals used as pharmaceutical ingredients. These ingredients are essential in the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are the main components in pharmaceutical formulations responsible for the therapeutic effects of the drugs. Specialty chemicals contribute significantly to the production of APIs, as they often involve complex synthesis processes and must meet strict quality and regulatory standards. In addition, these chemicals in the pharmaceutical sector are often customized to meet specific requirements. This includes characteristics such as purity, stability, solubility, and bioavailability, which are critical for the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products.
Besides, the agrochemicals segment is expected to propel the market expansion during the forecast period. Specialty chemicals are integral to the formulation of pesticides and insecticides. These chemicals help enhance the efficacy, stability, and safety of these products. Innovation in specialty chemicals is crucial for the development of new and more effective pesticides. In addition, they are used in the manufacturing of fertilizers to improve nutrient content, enhance nutrient release, and optimize plant uptake. Controlled-release fertilizers, for example, often involve the use of specialty chemical coatings.

Market Dynamics:
Driver
Growing agricultural sector demand for specialized chemicals
The growing global population and dwindling arable land pose a danger to the agriculture sector. Raising agricultural yields is therefore becoming more important to feed the world's rapidly expanding population, while arable land becomes scarcer. The worldwide specialized chemicals industry is expanding, nonetheless, because of the growing demand for these agrochemicals. Agrochemical use to improve farm yields and reduce crop loss will be fueled by rising food demand and shrinking vegetable acreage, particularly in developing nations. This will drive market growth in the region of focus over the forecast period.
Restraint
Commoditization of specialty chemicals
The profit margins of producers will be impacted by the quick conversion of speciality chemicals. Specialty chemicals will not become commodities due to rapid product innovation. Specialty chemical producers need to concentrate on developing products for specialized markets.
To stand out from the competition, manufacturers are finding it difficult to create innovative products that provide end customers more value. The commoditization of specialty chemicals is being driven by the availability of manufacturing technologies in this sector and the quick development of capacity, which is slowing down the growth of the market under consideration over the projection period.
Opportunity
Rising interest in bio-based chemicals
Bioplastics, like bio-based lubricants and biodegradable plastics, have been created as substitutes for petroleum-based lubricants and plastics. Fermentation, ultrafiltration, and crystallization processes are used to create bio-based lubricants from renewable feedstocks including sugar and plant-based oil. Furthermore, the need for biodegradable plastics is rising significantly in the regular applications of consumer products, particularly in the packaging sector. Throughout the projected period, the growing demand for environmentally friendly bio-based chemicals is anticipated to propel the expansion of the worldwide specialty chemicals market.
