Specialty chemicals are also referred as performance chemicals or formulation chemicals. Most specialty chemicals are organic chemicals that are used in wide range of every day products used by the consumers and industries. Industries that are highly dependent on the specialty chemicals products are automotive, aerospace, food, cosmetics, agriculture, manufacturing, electronics, and textiles. Growth in awareness among end users regarding the benefits of agrochemicals is expected to drive the growth of the specialty chemicals market. In addition, some of the other factors propelling the growth of the market include emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, increase in demand for consumer electronics, constant focus on R&D, technological advancements, conservation of genetic material of endangered plant species, and growth in population. However, environmental and health concerns, stringent government regulations, and fluctuating cost of raw materials are expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period. On the contrary, increase in demand for specialty chemicals from emerging economies and continuous development and production of eco-friendly specialty chemicals are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the specialty chemicals market in the upcoming years.
