Specialty Chemicals Market size is set to touch USD 1,273 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.


Global specialty chemicals market share is majorly driven by increasing population along with rapid industrialization resulting in decreased arable land. Global population is likely to reach 9 billion by 2040, this will consequently propel food demand up to the same period. Significant increase in yield is possible through agrochemicals use such as fungicides. Governments across the globe are promoting agrochemicals use to secure food supply to meet the increasing food demand owing to drive industry growth.


Robust growth in end user industries including construction and automotive will boost the global specialty chemicals market size by 2024. These compounds are used in adhesives and paints &coatings, which are widely used in automotive as well as construction industry. In 2015, global vehicles production, including commercial &personal, was approximately 90 million units. Furthermore, increasing consumer demand for lubricants to reduce frictional forces in the vehicles will enhance growth.

Specialty chemicals are mainly synthetic and have harmful environmental effects, which effects the biodiversity. Therefore, stringent environmental legislations are formulated and directed for the product application, due to its toxicity. This may restraint the industry size in the near future. In addition, increasing consumer awareness towards digital media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube may hinder paper &textile specialty chemicals market size. However, growing construction industry, particularly in China, India, Japan and Brazil, will propel industry share in the coming years.
