The chemical industry remains a vital part of the European economy, directly employing over 1.2 million people. Chemicals are integral to over 90% of all manufactured goods, highlighting the industry’s critical role in various value chains. Whereas, in 2022, this industry generated €240 billion in revenue from exports to markets outside the EU. This uptrend translates to a need for efficient chemical distribution networks, which further influences the European chemical distribution market.
The countries explored in this region include:
Germany secures a major market share with revenue of $16.55 billion in 2023.
Globally, Germany ranks third in chemical sales, making it a highly attractive and favorable market for businesses that provide chemical distribution services.
Around 2,230 companies partly organized 40 Chemical Parks, which employed 473,194 people in 2021. This highlights the widening scope of the studied market.
The country aims to allocate 19% of the total R&D budget (€25.7 billion) of the chemical industry to specialty chemicals by 2050, which creates opportunities to develop the chemical distribution network.
Chemical Distribution Market Forecast for France
The European Chemical Industry Council (cefic) inferred that in 2021, the chemical industry generated an estimated turnover of €97 billion, making France the second-largest chemical producer in Europe. The sector is heavily export-oriented, with nearly 75% of total chemical sales being exported. Through trade promotion offices abroad, the French government invests a substantial amount of resources in attracting foreign investment, which widens the scope of the chemical distribution market.
The chemical distribution market is segmented based on end-use. The end-use segment comprises specialty chemicals and commodity chemicals.
