These include packaging films, pipes, moulded components, insulation materials, masterbatches, adhesives, sealants, coatings, synthetic rubber compounds and specialty plastic formulations.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this sector especially attractive for MSMEs is the conversion-driven nature of the sector. Unlike upstream petrochemical plants, downstream units:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Require capital investment in a modular and expandable way<\/li>\n<li>Operate on repeat industrial demand<\/li>\n<li>Compete on consistency, documentation and reliability over sheer scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>India&#8217;s data on the chemical and petrochemicals industries consistently reflects high capacity utilization in basic chemicals and key polymers, indicating steady downstream pull.
