25^th International Conference on Organic & Inorganic Chemistry July 26-27, 2019 Vancouver, Canada

The global chemical industry has grown by 7 percent annually, reaching €2.4 trillion in 2010. Most of the growth in the past 25 years has been driven by Asia, which now owns almost half of global chemical sales. The global chemical markets are expected to grow an average 3 percent in the next 20years. Asian players are positioned to own two-thirds of the market by 2030.

Organic chemical industry is anticipated to hold 51% of the total chemical industry market globally by 2030. With Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America being the leading markets for organic chemicals, the industry has witnessed approx. 10% growth in the last 5 years. Expanding industry applications, investment favouring industry policies are driving organic chemicals market till 2019.Extensive primary research is being conducted among leading companies such as BASF, Dow Chemicals, SABIC, Sinopec, and DuPont Chemicals and key opinion leaders from organic chemical industry.

Global Organic Acids Market was valued at $16,837 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $29,197 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 8.3% from 2017 to 2023. Organic acids are weak acids that do not completely dissociate in water when compared to mineral acids.

Key players such as BASF SE, Cargill, Inc., The Dow Chemical Company, Eastman Chemical Company, Myriant Corporation, Celanese Corporation, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Henan Jindan Lactic Acid Technology Co. Ltd., Tate & Lyle Plc., and E. I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company have largely invested in R&D activities to develop advanced products to cater to the requirements of the consumers.

United States Chemical industry:

The chemical industry is one of the largest and most important industries worldwide. The United States is the largest national producer of chemical products globally. Including the pharmaceutical sector, its chemical output value was more than 767 billion U.S. dollars in 2016.

Canada Chemical Industry:

Canada’s chemistry industry is a world leader in low-intensity carbon chemical production for many reasons. Perhaps the biggest natural advantage the chemistry sector enjoys is access to abundant low-carbon fossil fuel feedstock. Natural gas is comprised of about 92% methane (CH4) and is used for heating fuel, electricity generation, and even as transportation fuel for vehicles with modified engines. Methane can also be a feedstock for some petrochemical manufacturing. Remaining components of natural gas are called natural gas liquids (NGLs) include ethane, propane, butane and pentanes. These are used as building blocks for plastics and solvents, polypropylene, refrigerants, rubbers and more.

 A 2018 study from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission compared different chemistry production processes and technological options to increase GHG efficiency and found that ethylene production that uses higher-carbon naphtha as a feedstock has an 82% higher GHG emissions factor than ethylene produced from lower-carbon ethane feedstock. Over the years, Canada’s chemistry sector has converted its ethylene facilities from naphtha to ethane feedstock and are already benefiting from this lower carbon approach to production.

Canada also has an abundant supply of low emissions hydroelectricity and huge potential for developing biomass resources to be used as feedstock and energy sources in chemistry production processes. With large portions of provincial energy grids already carbon-free, chlorine-related chemistries have a near-zero GHG footprint. In other countries, notably in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, high-carbon electricity grids result in higher GHG emissions associated with their chlorine production when compared to Canada.

United Kingdom Chemical Industry:

The UK industry is active in all key areas: basic inorganics, petrochemicals, polymers, agrochemicals, paints, detergents and personal care products, in specialties such as adhesives, flavours and fragrances, and in a host of industrial specialties including lubricants, fuel additives, construction chemicals and catalysts. It is also a global leader in pharmaceuticals. With £48.7 billion of revenues and £17.8 billion value added in 2016, chemicals & pharmaceuticals is the UK’s second largest industry. The current UK government has committed around £4.7bn to support R&D and innovation. This commitment should be seen against the broader ambition to boost R&D spending to 2.4% of GDP by 2027.
