The process of acquiring, storing, transporting, and distributing chemicals to end users across multiple industries is known as chemical distribution. It entails operating as a middleman between customers and chemical producers, filling a vital role in the supply chain. Chemical distributors are vital to the efficient and reliable distribution of chemicals while meeting the demands of diverse customers. Chemical distributors handle a wide range of chemicals, such as conventional chemicals, specialty chemicals, and industrial gases. They oversee inventory, storage facilities, and transportation to guarantee that goods are delivered to customers on time.
They also provide value-added services, such as technical assistance, formulation and blending assistance, and support for regulatory compliance. The chemical distribution industry acts as a connection between customers and manufacturers worldwide. Ensuring that customers have access to a wide variety of chemicals. Manufacturers may focus on manufacturing while ensuring that customers have access to a wide variety of chemicals, specialized solutions, and technical know-how. Chemical distribution facilitates the effective flow of chemicals, supporting numerous industries that depend on these essential ingredients for their operations, such as construction, agriculture, automobile, and medicines. The distribution of commodity and specialty chemicals by third parties is expected to grow significantly more than the sale of products directly to end users due to the outsourcing of value-added services like logistics, packaging, blending, waste removal, inventory management, and technical training.
Even though there is no legal market for chemical distributors and a complicated supply chain, end consumers now find it simpler to buy chemicals thanks to digital platforms. Chemical makers, distributors, and consumers are brought together by digital platforms to offer appropriate solutions. Numerous small, medium, and large enterprises have been able to develop abroad because to this effort. The past 20 years have seen a major advancement in technology, and the use of e-commerce in chemical distribution is expected to accelerate the use of chemicals by companies in the creation of diverse items.
Chemical distributors can also enhance their market share and provide a wider range of products by integrating digital technologies. Transparency and connectedness across the whole value chain—which includes building chemicals, pharmaceutical components, CASE, and personal care—will rise as the sector progressively adopts this trend. Additionally, experts think that the third-party chemical distribution model will improve efficiency, add value, and strengthen bonds between distributors and customers.
The distribution of Omyapure, Omyapharm, and Omyanutra—their innovative mineral products for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications—in Germany, Austria, Ireland, and the United Kingdom was announced by HARKE GROUP and Omya in May 2023.To strengthen IMCD's chemical distribution capabilities, its Swedish affiliate bought ACM AB in April 2023. Additionally, in April 2023, IMCD India purchased Tradeimpex, an Indian company, to provide a broad selection of items to its clientele.
Increasing sales for pharmaceuticals and personal care chemicals boosted demand for chemical distribution service
The growing use of medications and personal hygiene products is driving up demand for chemicals. Product innovation, market saturation, and rising disposable income are driving up demand for personal care items. Many substances, such as formaldehyde, lanolin, ammonium lauryl sulfate, diethylene glycol, salicylic acid, malic acid, and lactic acid, are used in the manufacturing of personal care products, which include soaps, toothpaste, fragrances, shampoos, hair dyes, lipsticks, and moisturizing lotions.
To boost demand for their products, companies in the developed personal care sector are focusing on raising product visibility through online promotional activities, contests, and other initiatives. Men are buying more male hygiene products as they realize how important it is to keep their skin and hair healthy. It is projected that the interaction of these elements will quicken the growth of the chemical industry, raising the need for chemical distributors to supply the raw materials. hence contributes to the growth of the chemical distribution market . According to the 2020 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector amounts to 18.4% of total business R&D expenditure worldwide.
This increase in sales has led to global companies acquiring regional players. In order to improve its manufacturing and delivery of industrial chemicals and provide value-added services including transportation, repacking, warehousing, and mixing & blending, with an emphasis on South-East Asia, Brenntag purchased Aik Moh Group in March 2023. The acquisition of ChemSol Group in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala, and Honduras was announced by Univar Solutions Inc. in February 2023 to expand its portfolio of ingredients and specialties and solidify its position in Central America.
One of the biggest problems the chemical industry faces is the volatility of the prices of raw materials and feedstock. Chemical companies that want to remain profitable must obtain the right raw materials for their products at the right time, place, and cost, all the while meeting safety and legal requirements. Whether the chemicals in question are classified as commodity or specialty chemicals, the profit margins of manufacturers and distributors of chemicals are directly and immediately impacted by changes in raw material prices. An essential component of the overall regulation of the market is currency exchange rates.
Supply and demand, along with the expenses associated with acquiring the raw materials, eventually impact the costs of raw materials. A number of factors, such as global events, economic disruption, and climatic and environmental conditions, can affect the availability of raw resources, or supply. Prices will always increase when demand exceeds supply. The cost of producing, transporting, and extracting raw materials will also increase in response to rising energy prices, which will have an impact on the market prices of those materials. Costs of raw materials can have a big impact on how profitable and expensive products are. Price fluctuations for raw materials can have a direct impact on total production costs, which can then have an impact on the final cost of the goods or services. The World Bank's April 2023 Commodity Markets Outlook states that although raw material prices are declining, they are still much higher than levels seen before the pandemic. The study points out that pleasant winter weather, a slowdown in global economic activity, and a rerouted commodities trade are the main reasons why price spikes that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine have essentially reversed.
The increasing demand for specialty chemicals across a range of industries has put chemical distributors in a position to take advantage of substantial potential. This group of enterprises includes the pharmaceutical, personal care, and automotive industries. Opportunities in the business world offer a way to look into these possible outcomes.
Because working with specialized chemicals requires a high level of experience and technical understanding, chemical distributors are helpful partners in purchasing and providing these kinds of chemicals. This is because chemical distributors' occupations need them to deal with hazardous substances daily. There are plenty of opportunities for both domestic and international manufacturers because end-user industries like food, cars, real estate, clothes, and cosmetics have shown a strong demand. This is probably going to keep pushing the industry's growth in developing nations, causing it to surpass global growth in the upcoming year.
The globe saw numerous changes as a result of COVID-19, including decreased productivity, fatalities, company closures, closures of factories and organizations, and a move to online work. Therefore, there was a sudden drop in the supply and demand for these chemical compounds as a result of COVID-19 forcing the chemical and end-user industries to reduce their production. This decreased the demand for chemical distribution services from chemical manufacturers to distribute these chemicals to end-user industries. As a result, COVID-19 had a detrimental worldwide impact on the chemical distribution market in every region.
While certain COVID-19-related problems have become less significant—for example, fully stocked warehouses have replaced shortages in warehouses—more modern problems, including inflation, still have a big influence on how competitively strong market actors are in certain areas. Strengthening of principal-distributor connections amid COVID-19, In certain applications or local markets, principals are open to switching if they can't get a better growth position from their present distributor. Principals do not back down and are prepared to assume greater complexity in distributor management, particularly in the event of performance concerns. Vulnerable supply chains brought on by previous crises like COVID-19 and the Russian assault on Ukraine are among the causes of this development, as they make it more difficult for businesses to spur growth and meet consumer demands. Distributors are crucial for principals to overcome disrupted supply chains because of their global presence, safety supplies, and frequently their own transport operations . The chemical industry produces 96% of the manufactured commodities. It is in charge of producing 70,000 distinct commodities from raw materials, which are utilized, among other industries, in the food, agriculture, transportation, healthcare, building and construction, and consumer goods sectors in turn affecting the chemical distribution market.
The chemical industry has been impacted in some sectors (like automobiles) and benefited in other sectors (like medical equipment), as chemical demand is a function of its customer industries' need.
The chemical distribution industry continued to rise in 2022, with a never-before-seen compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of XX% from 2021 to 2022, after making a significant recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic's effects with a CAGR of XX% from 2019 to 2021. This remarkably robust year-over-year growth was mostly caused by distributors raising prices as a result of supply chain disruptions and the limited product availability on the market.
