The raw materials used for the manufacturing of boiler water treatment chemicals include a combination of organic and inorganic chemical compounds for producing corrosion and scale inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, biocides, cleaning chemicals, etc. Customers of industrial water treatment solutions are mostly dependent on water service providers and distributors. Only a small number of end-user industries directly buy chemicals from manufacturers. In developed nations, over 80% of the chemicals manufactured by industrial water-treatment chemical manufacturers are sold to service-providing companies or distributors, giving them the power to bypass any scope of negotiation from the customer’s end, and only 20% of the chemicals are sold directly to the end users.

The global meat substitutes market comprises tofu and tofu-based products, textured vegetable protein, tempeh, seitan, and quorn.

The industry value chain of all the engineering plastics, ranging from oil to plastic products, is becoming increasingly complex, as many countries are setting up stringent quality standards concerning the commercial use of plastics. The value chain is initiated by raw material suppliers, who supply petrochemicals and chemical feedstock, along with the additives required to make plastic resins. The raw materials undergo processing, to make plastic resins through different methods. The production of thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal polymers is carried out by the processing of either main-chain polymers or side-chain polymers.
