Industrial Chemicals
The global chemical industry has witnessed a strong recovery since the beginning of 2021, and 2022 could mark the full recovery for the industry prepandemic. From sustainability to consumer-centricity, our annual outlook explores five trends that will be top of mind for chemical companies in the year ahead. As the chemical industry moves into 2022, strong demand for both commodity and specialty chemicals should keep prices robust throughout the year.

A look back at 2020
If the chemical and performance technologies industry in the year 2020 was to be summarized in a single word, that word would be “disruption.” Some companies surged, for example, makers of disinfectants and diagnostic reagents, while others struggled—those exposed to automotive, refining, and construction end markets to name but a few. However, whether gearing up to meet sudden spikes in demand or struggling to survive, both outcomes resulted in major disruption.
So much has changed in just a year. Established strategies of the past are no longer relevant. The pandemic exposed industry weaknesses and significantly accelerated transformation programs. As businesses navigated uncharted territory, it was digital transformation that proved to be the critical lifeline. Digital will continue to be fast-tracked across every aspect of the chemical industry, as one of five key trends that will shape 2021.
Top five reasons why 2022 will be different
While the challenges of last year are not yet behind us, there is sound evidence supporting the need for the chemical industry to keep a focus on these five areas that will emerge as critical in 2021 and beyond:
- Expanded digitalization
- Elevated ESG goals
- Increased diversity in leadership
- Increased M&A activity
- Diversified portfolios
