While the total production volume of bulk chemicals is dominant, a large part of the value creation is driven by specialty intermediates and performance chemicals and many of them are produced by MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial production statistics show that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-volume segments such as alkali chemicals have the highest output share.<\/li>\n<li>Smaller segments such as specialty polymers, coatings and additives are more dependent on technology and formulation expertise.<\/li>\n<li>A second characteristic of music retailing is: &#8211; &#8211; These lower-volume segments often provide higher margins because of the differential in performances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For MSMEs, that means precision manufacturing instead of commodity scale.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Making_a_Chemical_Technology_MSME_Technology_Driven\"><\/span>What Is Making a Chemical Technology MSME Technology Driven?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A technology-driven chemical business is not so much determined by plant size, but more so by a discipline of operation.
