Global Chemical Processing Database & Market Intelligence
Uncover Capital and Maintenance Spending Across the Entire Chemical and Petrochemical Processing Supply Chain
Access trusted data on global chemical projects, plants, and production units, from petrochemicals through to specialty chemicals and plastics & rubbers. Also gain insights into the high-growth blue and green commodity sectors. Built for sales teams who need to uncover the right opportunities, connect with decision-makers, and act on project insights before the competition.
The energy transition remains one of the prominent drivers for major investments across the chemical industry as plant owners seek ways to satisfy their stated environmental and sustainability goals. A mix of in-plant capital initiatives aimed at reducing the carbon emission footprint of production and the scaling up production capacity towards lower-carbon commodities like green hydrogen, green methanol, green ammonia, blue hydrogen and blue ammonia remain the big investment themes. The overall petrochemical market continues to grow in spite of increased pricing, regulatory and environmental policy changes and the global market facing oversupply and weaker demand. There has been some slowdown in some capital projects, but long-term demand fundamentals for plastics & rubbers remains in-tact leading to an inventory of potential projects planned for the next several years.
