Although China’s specialty chemicals market has almost doubled in the past decade, few international specialty chemicals companies have been able to achieve their growth and profitability in this market. In China, foreign companies in the industry are facing major setbacks in terms of growth and market share. Our market research experts believe that the profit structure of special chemicals of multinational companies in China market is lower than that of other regions, and there is also a big difference between the leader and the laggard. The highly dispersed specialty chemicals market in the region is dominated by overcapacity and fierce competition. While some believe that falling margins are part of their global strategy to capture Chinese growth and build long-term business in China, there are clear signs that multinationals are failing to keep up with the growth of the Chinese market.
