Our Data-Driven Formula For Top-Tier Outcomes

Changes in the competitive landscape of the chemical industry have led to a need for better outcomes. In recent decades, growth in the chemical industry has been strong, but that trend is in decline. Increased regulation intended to curb climate change and reduced supply chain globalization are key drivers of this trend. Customers today expect sustainability, and improved capabilities in plastic recycling have reduced demand for new product manufacturing. Compounding this trend is the age-old problem of overseas competition, particularly in Asia, which puts pressure on operating margins and further impacts market dynamics. These evolving market trends increase the need for chemical plants to achieve predictability and competitiveness in their capital projects and turnarounds.
