2.3 Need of the Project
The chemical industry in India is witnessing a structural change and companies are realigning their
strategies and consolidating themselves to face stiff competition from global companies. The high speed
of economic reforms and a GDP growth, there are bright prospects for the chemical industry and specialty
chemicals strives to be a part of this growth by keeping itself updated with the state-of-the-art
technologies for it's portfolio of products. Following pie chart shows world consumption of specialty
chemicals by type:
Figure: Consumption of Speciality Chemicals – 2014
In 2014, the world’s five largest specialty chemicals segments—specialty polymers, construction
chemicals, industrial and institutional cleaners, electronic chemicals, and surfactants—had a market share
of about 37%; the 10 largest segments accounted for 61% of total annual specialty chemicals sales. The
specialty chemicals industry is now trying to improve its margins by implementing price increases to
compensate for higher R&D, energy, and raw material costs. The specialty chemicals business is in
transition. Historically, North American, Western European, and Japanese firms have dominated this
business. However, with trade liberalization, the spread of process technology, the breakdown of
numerous economic barriers, the rapid growth of the newly industrialized Asian economies and rising
standards of living in many developing countries, the center of gravity of the global chemical industry is
shifting toward the Middle East, where cheap petrochemical feed stocks are available, and toward Asia,
where labor costs are low and economic growth is high. During 2014 – 19, volume consumption of
specialty chemicals is expected to increase at close to 4% on a global basis. In general, the emerging

markets offer more dynamic prospects for the specialty chemicals industry because of rising consumer-
driven economies and industrialization. Proposed specialty chemical plant will further induce secondary
industrialization based on their respective derivatives and generate the employment directly and
indirectly. In view of above chemical market scenario, project proponent proposes a plant to manufacture
specialty chemical at PCPIR, Dahej to spread the company business, increase tune over as well as to
provide better service to local peoples.
2.4 Demand – Supply Gap and Import vs Indigenous Production
Indian Specialty Chemicals poised to be $ 80-100 billion industry by 2020. Asia-Pacific region now
is nearly 42 % of the global market for chemicals.
India is emerging as manufacturing and export hub for specialty chemicals. Key advantages include
re-engineering capabilities and relatively low cost of production.
Innovation and Scale will be the key differentiators, going forward.
The continuous growth of chemical sector saw demand – supply gap and some times, molecules are
not available both for the domestic and export market. Like the many other products, specialty
chemical are made in India and exported to all the European Countries as well as other countries.
Continuous growth of exports and increase in the Indian market demand off set the local
competitions.
Some manufacturing capacities cleared for the manufacture are neither installed nor operated. Some
products are not available at the peak demand time of the local season.
To support the above projections, promoters have propelled to set up new manufacturing facility in
PCPIR.
2.5 Employment Generation
There are possibilities to generate employment during the construction as well as operation phase of the
proposed project. Local skilled and semi-skilled workers will be hired during construction phase, thus no
need to provide housing facility to workers. 150 nos. of people will get direct employment during
construction phase.
