The chemical industry has entered its fifth era: The Fragmentation Era.
Our latest analysis of the sector’s evolution shows a definitive shift away from the global arbitrage models of 1990–2010. Today, the “Global Efficiency” playbook is being replaced by a strategy centered on agility, decentralization, and technological sovereignty.
To thrive in this volatile landscape, leaders must transition from disjointed processes to Resilient Operations, where autonomous production can shift in real-time to meet fluctuating national needs.
Key Strategic Value Activators for 2026+:
– Modular CAPEX: Shifting from aging, high-maintenance plants to flexible, small-scale production units.
– Decentralized Hubs: Mitigating cross-border logistics risks by establishing regional centers.
– Raw Material Control: Moving back toward vertical integration to secure the supply chain.
