Globally, the chemical industry employs approximately more than 10 million people and enables indirect employment for over 50 million people.
The global chemical industry is highly reliant on new technologies to gain a competitive advantage and improve its cost margins. Moreover, with the growing demand for chemical engineering among the end-user segments, prominent businesses are planning to invest heavily in research and development. Also, leading organizations are planning to refine their existing architecture to improve their production capabilities and reach out to the target audience in an agile and seamless manner. The growth of the chemical engineering space can be attributed to factors such as the extensive use of the application in the fields such as climate change and environmental systems.
Here are some of the factors that may curtail the growth of the chemical engineering space:
- Relentless competition: In this relatively competitive environment, staying ahead of the competitors becomes a challenging task. Especially, when the competitors are from the non-traditional sectors such as the energy, utilities, and mining. Prominent businesses should focus on effective ways to stay relevant and on top of the competition. In the chemical engineering space, businesses should consider streamlining their business processes to increase agility while controlling the overall costs.
- Keep pace with the regulatory changes: The chemical industry is witnessing the implementation of regulations pertaining to labeling, handling, and manufacturing to the shopping and storage of the products. Since the extensive usage of chemicals has an adverse effect on the health, governments are implementing stringent control measures to curtail the use of chemicals and its impact on the environment.
