SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTION IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

 The global chemical industry caters to nearly every goods-producing sector and accounts for an estimated USD 5.7 trillion, as per the International Council of Chemical Association (ICCA) report published in March 2019. According to the report, the chemical industry contributes to global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) through indirect, direct, and induced impacts, equivalent to 7% of the overall world's GDP, and supporting around 120 million jobs worldwide. It is offering materials and substances to sectors such as agriculture, automotive, construction, and nutrition.

The chemicals market is currently transforming post-COVID-19 pandemic, so chemical companies need to adopt new technologies in their operating models, businesses, and processes. In the global chemical industry, the supply chain management will face new challenges and new opportunities.

Therefore, it is critical to understand key developments in the chemicals market and the resulting impact on the individual supply chain. Only then will companies have the proper preparation to face these challenges and seize the opportunity to create a long-term competitive advantage.

Key Supply Chain Challenges in the Chemicals Industry

  1. Market & Competition
  • Ongoing high-cost pressure caused by intensifying global competition
  • Opportunities for organic growth continue to slow down owing to saturated western markets while value chains move to the Asian Market
  1. Customer Demands
  • Decreasing product importance due to commoditization, dematerialization, and deflation
  • Increasingly complex customer demands with differentiated service levels and request profiles
  1. Emerging Technologies
  • High complexity and dynamics in the chemical industry demand environment generate vast quantities of data
  • Unlike in other industries, the impact of digitalization in the chemical industry is more of an evolution than a big bang

To recover their supply chains, chemical companies should keep three critical strategies while strategizing 2021 growth planning:

  • Developing integrated global operating models
  • Enhancing logistics capabilities
  • Employing digitally-enabled supply chain management

Companies Strategic focused on Supply chain Update

Global leading retail giants invest in emerging technologies as a matter of course; factually, most chemical corporations have not been the case. However, the benefits of incorporating digitalization can bring tremendous opportunities and could unlock up to USD 550 billion in chemical industry valuation, with digital supply chain initiatives driving USD 70 billion of that value. Furthermore, by systematically integrating digital technologies, chemical companies can drive efficiencies and realize average savings of around USD 90,000 in terms of cost per employee.

Future Prospects for Chemical Industry Supply Chain

Many companies have business endurance plans in place, and chemical companies have survived major storms, trade wars, market downturns, political disruption, and other calamities. However, the sheer magnitude and complexity of today's COVID-19 crisis demand immediate action to revive the chemical factory and business operations with updated methods like how chemical companies do business, not only for the short-period but also for an extended period. This crisis isn't going to go away in a shorter span. Recovery will be a long with many challenging paths. The very idea of business as usual will have to change and it has to be integrated with the latest digitalized technologies. Those who build resilience with balanced cost and growth strategies during the pandemic and adapt quickest to the new market reality will be best placed to capitalize on the global chemical industry opportunities that recovery from COVID-19 will bring.

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
