Chemical Industry's Green Shift Accelerates with AI and Booming Demand
The chemical industry is witnessing a significant shift towards sustainability, driven by consumer preferences and companies aligning their offerings. Advanced digital technologies, such as generative AI, are boosting R&D success rates, further accelerating this transition.
The demand for sustainability-related chemical products is projected to surge from $340 billion in 2023 to $570 billion by 2028, growing at an impressive 11% compound annual rate. This growth is 4.5 times faster than that of conventional products. The trend is evident across various sectors, with sustainability-related segments consistently outperforming overall growth.
Consumers are playing a pivotal role in this shift. More than half prefer environmentally friendly products, and an increasing number are willing to pay a premium for sustainability. This customer preference is pushing companies to innovate and align their offerings with eco-friendly options.
To capitalize on this growing demand, chemical companies must accelerate innovation, develop transparent value propositions, and build strategic value-chain partnerships. The shift towards sustainability is not only beneficial for the environment but also presents a significant business opportunity.
