Navigating Chemicals Sector in India
High Raw Material Costs Impede Growth
- In India's chemicals industry, raw material prices have surged by 20% compared to last year, placing significant financial pressure on manufacturers reliant on imports.
- Leveraging domestic resources and increasing raw material efficiency could help manage costs. Businesses might consider investment in local supply chains, which grew by 15%.
Infrastructure Hurdles Limit Scalability
- With a 10% increase in production demand, scaling operations strains India's suboptimal logistics and inadequate storage solutions within the chemicals sector.
- Improving transportation networks and warehouse facilities remains imperative. Proposals to enhance infrastructure could optimize pressure for roughly 60% of businesses.
Growing Domestic Demand Fuels Expansion
- Domestic chemical consumption is set to rise by 12% annually, driven by sectors like agriculture and pharmaceuticals demanding chemical analytics and customization.
- Capitalizing on this demand wave could multiply investments in research and tailored chemical solutions. Adjustments in focus bestow a 25% margin increase over averaged competitors.
Strategic International Partnerships Arise
- International chemical collaborations have incrementally become lucrative, seeing an export boost of approximately 9% from new agreements in Asia and Europe.
- Strategic bilateral deals can open new demographics, magnifying industry dynamics, thereby potentially doubling market access to over 30 million clients internationally.

What Our Clients Say About Us
"I am very satisfied with YCP's work on competitors benchmarking analysis project in the Automotive Glass industry. The team fully understood the project background and objectives, and their output surely met our expectations. Although there were some challenges in collecting detailed information given this is a highly specialized industry, their analytical framework and logical approach made this project a great success. I also found the discussion with their local consultants very valuable. This gave me lots of useful insights to pursue the project. I would like to work with YCP on my next project. "
Senior Sales & Marketing Center Manager Automotive Glass Division
Asahi Glass Group
"YCP’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of YCP's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far. "
