The sector plays a significant role in the country&#8217;s GDP and is responsible for employing millions of people throughout the manufacturing, logistics and downstream processing stages. But in this case, several structural tailwinds are coming together that is making it particularly interesting<\/p>\n<p>But first, China-plus-one marketing strategies undertaken by the global buyer have turned into a genuine void in specialty and performance chemicals. Buyers in Europe, Japan and the USA are now enquiring with Indian manufacturers to diversify their sourcing. Secondly, the use of chemicals in the domestic market is growing at a rapid pace with a surge in industries of construction, automotive, consumer goods and the pharma industry. In addition, India&#8217;s formal agricultural-based industry is changing its focus to value-added agrochemicals and bio-sourced inputs, creating an entirely new product category for startups.(Indian Chemical Industry)<\/p>\n<p>So, anyone who is starting in this area now isn&#8217;t getting into the trend.

There are a number of initiatives from the central government which directly assist new businesses in this area.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investindia.gov.in\/\">Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme<\/a> for specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals is a scheme that provides financial incentives based on incremental output. Early production is de-risked with direct cash transfers available to eligible companies.

But the real opportunity today isn&#8217;t in the generic commodity such as urea or DAP, it&#8217;s in the specialty agrochemicals: technical grade fungicides, herbicide formulations, plant growth regulators and bio-based pest management products. With the shift towards residue free food and the promotion of natural farming practices such as the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana, the demand for bio-pesticides and botanical extracts has surged globally. Even the entrepreneur who has established a small formulation unit at a cost of \u20b930-50 lakh can supply to institutional buyers such as cooperative societies, agri-input distributors and direct export customers. One of the most lucrative ways to enter the specialty agrochemical industry is by being involved with producing specialty formulations, where gross margins are usually in the 30- to 50-percent range.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dye_Intermediates_and_Textile_Chemicals\"><\/span><strong>2.

There is a definite demand gap for medium scale quality certified Indian manufacturers to cater the institutional buyers (hospitals, food processing units, hospitality chains, automotive factories etc.). Formulating products such as liquid hand wash base, industrial degreasers, dishwashing compounds and floor care concentrates are relatively simple, require the minimum start-up investment (\u20b915-25 lakh for a basic plant) and can command EBITDA margins ranging from 20-35% with appropriate distribution. The private-label contracts offered by supermarket companies and B2B distribution companies offer a form of revenue certainty that is hard to come by in most manufacturing startups.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Water_Treatment_Chemicals\"><\/span><strong>4.

Construction chemicals market is expanding at a fast pace and continues to be an underserved market in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets. A start-up can establish a small-scale admixture blending facility in close proximity to a construction cluster, thus developing distribution ties with the contractors, RMC facilities and precast manufacturers. The capital is relatively small, starting at \u20b920-40 lakh per annum; there is good opportunity of local brand building.(Indian Chemical Industry)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Import%E2%80%93Export_Opportunity_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Import\u2013Export Opportunity Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is an inherent imbalance in the Indian chemical trade profile. The country is exporting bulk chemicals, commodity chemicals (basic petrochemical derivatives, inorganic acids, dye stuffs etc.), while it is importing high value specialty chemicals, performance polymers and electronic chemicals. While import substitution in the field of specialty chemicals continues to be one of the biggest unexploited industrial sectors in the country, the data published by the Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers Association (CPMA) indicates.<\/p>\n<p>Indian chemical companies are becoming more competitive in the international markets, especially in Latin America, South East Asia, and Africa. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemexcil.in\/\">Chemicals Export Promotion Council (Chemexcil)<\/a> organizes buyer-seller meets, export development programmes and offers market intelligence to chemical exporters. A realisation premium of 25-40% over domestic prices can be realised by a startup catering agrochemical export market, especially technicals for re-registration in African and Southeast Asian countries. In addition, the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme allows exporters to recover taxes if importers paid them in the local country on goods used in the export process, which is beneficial for their net margin competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Further, under the current Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with European Union and UK, India&#8217;s bilateral trade could see substantial growth in market opportunities for certified exporters of chemicals. Entrepreneurs who invest in quality systems early \u2014 such as ISO, GLP labs, REACH certifications \u2014 are in a position to reap these export premiums when the agreements go into effect.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_MSME_Success_Stories_Worth_Learning_From\"><\/span><strong>Indian MSME Success Stories Worth Learning From<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aarti_Industries_Limited_%E2%80%93_Vinay_Rajkumar_Gupta\"><\/span><strong>Aarti Industries Limited \u2013 Vinay Rajkumar Gupta<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Aarti Industries started as a small player in the benzene-based intermediates segment and developed into one of the top listed specialty chemicals firms listed on Indian exchanges having a turnover of more than Rs. 1500 crores. The key to the promoter&#8217;s success was his simple understanding: It is best to stick to one chemistry platform, learn process efficiency, go backward to raw materials and cultivate long-term relationships with global customers. Aarti&#8217;s model suggests that it is not necessary for chemical startups to diversify early on. Deepening a range of products, rather than making a wide divergence, has a greater chance of sustaining growth and scale than broad diversification in the product line.(Indian Chemical Industry)<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fairchem_Speciality_%E2%80%93_Anand_Mahindra-backed_MSME_Spin-off\"><\/span><strong>Fairchem Speciality \u2013 Anand Mahindra-backed MSME Spin-off<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fairchem Speciality developed a niche business in oleo chemicals, namely fatty acids and nutraceuticals from the by-products of vegetable oil.
