Hitech Industries FZE
Niche segments on the rise
Petrochemicals and construction chemicals mark notable investments
A

n essential component that forms the
core of most industries, chemicals
have long served various sectors as a
primary element in a number of
applications. Whether it is used as a base or a
catalyst, they are used extensively in the
construction and industrial arena, as well as for
cleaning and mixing purposes.
The chemicals industry leads as the second
largest manufacturing sector in the GCC
region, with around $108 billion worth of
products recorded in the year 2015, and Gulf
countries are heavily investing in the
petrochemicals sector with a noted increase by
38 per cent in the same year.
According to the Gulf Petrochemicals and
Chemicals Association (GPCA), the UAE
recorded 13.7 million tonnes of
petrochemical capacity in 2016, and with
Saudi Arabia holds 74 per cent of the
chemicals portfolio in the region.
GPCA also states that the global demand for
petrochemicals in particular is expected to
grow by 4 per cent on an annual basis, further
driving investments in sustainable products
and processes.
Looking deeper into niche segments, the
global market for construction chemicals
that specialise in improving concrete
performance, the lifeline of structures and
ensuring protection from various weather
hazards is expected to reach $40.2 billion by
2022, according to Allied Market Research,
with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 5.6 per cent between 2016 to 2022.
As eco-consciousness is on the rise, chemical
manufacturers are looking to introduce
products that provide optimum performance
without damage to surroundings or people.
The need for environment-friendly solutions,
including logistics and transportation of
hazardous content, is further fuelling the
chemicals industry to create safe options.
Organisations operating in the chemicals
sector hold proper certification and acquire
international quality marks to assure adherence
to highest standards of safety and processes.
