Helping chemicals companies respond successfully to complex business challenges.

The insights and tools to help the chemicals industry face complex business challenges. The global chemicals industry is responding to more dynamic change than ever before. This makes today's chemicals industry an exciting yet complex place to be.

The chemicals industry is one of the most exposed to the effects of geopolitical and supply chain disruptions. Port congestion, container shortages, skyrocketing shipping costs, and increased energy prices can impede the industry's ability to serve its customers effectively and cause a ripple effect on the automotive and electronics industries. Slow economic growth and high interest rates have raised concerns about future demand while producers manage the ever-growing shift towards eco-friendly chemicals products and corporate teams respond to the rise in regulation around ESG reporting.

At the same time, the never-ending portfolio transformation that characterizes the industry means companies need to continuously focus on strategy and staying nimble in the merger and acquisition (M&A) arena. Chemicals organizations are also increasingly adopting digital tools and upgrading their systems to become more robust and agile during this period of volatility.

To remain viable, chemicals companies should adapt to a different business environment. The most agile are expected to be best placed to capitalize on the market opportunities. KPMG can show you how.
