REPORT SCOPE

Chemical intermediates are generally produced through synthetic process to generate a desirable

product such as reagent, solvent, building blocks, protective group and some others, which are

actively used.in further reactions. Industries like pharmaceuticals, petrochemical, organic, agro

chemical; textiles etc. are the key users of these intermediates.

Chemical intermediates are a vital constituent of the petrochemical industry which holds a huge

scope if the quality and supply is taken care of. Along with it, it is highly applicable in

pharmaceuticals, lubricants, coatings, special additives, mining, personal care emollients,

thermoplastics etc. and some are used for nylon, spandex and polyester production. The report

study includes the demand of this particular market on a global and regional scale for a six-year

period of 2014-2020, both in terms of volume (kilo tons) and revenue ($ million).

This report gives detailed information about the product value chain right from the raw materials

i.e. the chemicals used for reaction to the final chemical intermediate produced and its

applications. The market is evaluated based on the key attributes such as the power in the hands

of producers and consumers, analysis on the degree of competition, and threats from substitutes

and new entrants.

The Report also include a detailed study of chemical intermediate types such as reagents,

solvents, building blocks, protective groups and others.The report gives a profound data about

the company overview, financial overview, business strategies, SWOT analysis and recent

developments of some of the major manufacturers of chemical intermediates like The Dow

Chemical Company, BASF India Ltd, INVISTA, INEOS, Ambuja Intermediates Limited, Saudi

Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) etc..

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Chemical intermediate is an essential element for the production of basic everyday requirements

such as textiles, soaps, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other plastics. These intermediate chemicals

exist in all forms, for example- Caustic Soda is a solid , Ethylene Dichloride is a Solvent, and

Vinyl Chloride Monomer is in Gaseous state. The basic reasons for the consistent increase in

usage of chemical intermediate is growth in industries like petrochemicals, organic, inorganic,

dyes, paints, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals etc.

Chemical intermediate is highly admissible in Petrochemical industry. Mono-ethylene glycol is a

major form of glycol used in this industry which crossed a market size of $1.22 million by 2013

and is expected to grow constantly for the next 5 years. Some major companies producing

mono-ethylene glycol are RIL, IPCL, India Glycols limited etc. Linear Alkyl benzene is also an

important type of chemical intermediate having a market size of around $180.33 million in 2013

globally and it is constantly growing.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Demand in pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry is the major key driver for

chemical intermediate.

BASF has forethought to increase the production of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) chemical

intermediate by 10% at its Geismar manufacturing facility in Louisiana, US.

Among whole chemical intermediate market, lactic acid and mono-ethylene glycol are

the major intermediate which accounts 40% share of the global chemical intermediate

capacity and is equivalent to approx. 2.94 million metric tons.

Intermediates and polymers are expected to dominate the chemical intermediate market

by 2018.

Production of chemical intermediate between 2014 and 2018 is expected to yield 11%

CAGR.
