The global Chemical Logistics market size is projected to reach approximately $ 326.93 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.22% from 2022 to 2030. Chemical Logistics deals with the supply chain operation of products that contain chemicals. Companies that operate in this business provide services such as transportation and handling, and warehousing, in addition, to sourcing raw materials. The logistics service provider also needs to handle the transportation of these products through various means—such as road and rail—as well as make sure they arrive at their destination in one piece. This requires a lot of knowledge on how each chemical behaves inside a container or how it should be handled. A Chemical Logistics service provider may also help evaluate other logistics options such as sea- or air-freight exportation, or even recommend a combination of both methods depending on specific attributes like time and cost-efficiency.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The rapid spread of COVID-19 has presented multiple unforeseen challenges affecting all levels of a company’s supply chain, including disruptions to a manufacturer’s operations due to insufficient labor, output reduction, and raw material shortage. These difficulties have been overcome by innovating new ways to manage issues related to manufacturing yields and workforces, among other things. The effects of the virus manipulating entire infrastructures in various industries across the world is yet another symptom of its presence in a supply chain. Several events have hampered the chemical logistics market, such as the prolonged crude oil slump. It led to either suspension or closure of production activities in various industries across the world, which has significantly impacted various industries across the country.
Market Dynamics
The demand for Chemical Logistics is on the rise because of an increase in chemical production and safety concerns for dangerous chemicals. This growth is anticipated to contribute considerably to the total market size. However, complexities in chemical logistics, such as safety concerns, and poor infrastructure can limit the growth of this market. The growth of tech-driven logistics services and IoT-enabled connected devices have provided significant growth opportunities for players operating in this market.
Drivers:
⮚ Increased Uses of Chemicals Across Various Sectors
In recent years, the increased production of chemicals has led to their usage in other industries. Increased usage of shale gas as a feedstock in an energy industry has increased the demand for the transportation of shale gas. According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), chemical production increased by 0.8% in August 2020, compared to 2016, and it is anticipated that it will rise by 3% next year at a faster rate than previously projected. As a result, demand for chemical logistics is expected to increase over the forecast period and also continue to see shifts in demand. More output will be needed to keep up with globalized markets.
Restraint:
- Lack of Adequate Infrastructure and Risk of Safety
Chemical logistics organizations transport chemicals via railways, highways, airways, and seaways. As a result, various challenges hamper the development of the chemical logistics sector. These challenges include oversaturated rail networks, unclear transit times, and insufficient flexibility when transporting chemicals that have varying specifications. The road quality is also poor making transport difficult on certain routes. For example, freight transportation by train can take up to 8 days for travel of about 2,000 kilometers. Due to the fluctuating trends in transit times, many logistical companies usually carry excess inventory with insufficient safety measures to prevent lost sales due to insufficient stock availability throughout production. This impeded their key market’s growth.
Opportunity:
⮚ Penetration of IoT-Enabled Connected Equipment and the Rise of Tech-Driven Logistical Services
Demand for automation and green warehouse renovation has increased in the chemical industry as the result of an increase in overall market growth. Environmental concerns are becoming more and more of a concern for Chemical Logistics businesses, and consequently, there is rapid adoption of warehousing methods that save money on materials and production costs. Wide-Scale use of Internet-connected systems is being done to open up the possibilities of green solutions. Vendors are increasingly offering digital solutions to automate chemical logistics and processing data, which creates faster production, greater efficiency, and saves time. AI, RFID, and Bluetooth are some of the emerging technologies that logistics companies are turning to for better service. With drone deliveries on the horizon and self-driving cars coming soon, these companies need to stay competitive in today’s market. As a result, the chemical logistics market is likely to benefit from improved technology in the logistics industry.
