Market Analysis
The global chemical industry is growing extensively, thanks to multiple uses of chemicals in various industries. With respect to the global chemical industry, EU slipped down to the second position (market share of 30.43% and production value of Euro 455.2 Billion) as the largest chemical production base in 2005 after Asia; the reason was the expansion of production bases by China and India and poor performance in petrochemicals and specialty chemical segment in European Union (25).
The pharmaceutical industry of EU (25) is also the second largest industry in the world. It is estimated that the pharmaceutical industry in the region climbed up at a rate of 6% in 2006 propelling the whole chemical industry to move ahead with 2.6% rate.
In future, the chemical segment like consumer chemicals, plastic, paint and dyes, fertilizer chemicals etc are likely to grow due to their supportive industry growth in EU (25). Overall, chemical industry in EU (25) is expected to grow with a CAGR of 3.19% during 2007-2010.
