Latest News- Specialty Chemicals Market: Agrochemicals is expected to lead the End-user segment during 2025-2029

The Specialty Chemicals Market is being driven by Increasing demand for specialty chemicals from agrochemical industry

The Specialty Chemicals Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 383.2 billion. In the specialty chemicals market, bio-based chemicals have gained significant traction as eco-friendly alternatives to petroleum-based lubricants and plastics. These bio-based chemicals, including bio-lubricants and biodegradable plastics, are derived from renewable feedstocks such as plant-based oils and sugars. The production process involves fermentation, ultrafiltration, and crystallization techniques. Canada, the US, and Germany are leading the charge in the development of environmentally friendly bio-lubricants, which help minimize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic gases emitted from vehicles, thereby contributing to the preservation of the atmospheric ecological balance. Meanwhile, in developing countries like China, Japan, and India, as well as in developed regions, there is a growing preference for green, sustainable lubricants and energy-saving resin systems. Europe and North America have also witnessed a marked increase in the adoption of bio-lubricants. These bio-based chemicals not only offer environmental benefits but also contribute to energy savings and improved performance. The global market for bio-lubricants is projected to grow at a robust rate, driven by increasing environmental regulations, consumer awareness, and technological advancements.
