MEA Specialty Chemicals Market Overview
Agriculture is the dominant sector in terms of economic output and serves as a major source of income in African nations. With advancement in agricultural practices, farmers in different African nations are shifting to modern agricultural practices, such as the use of fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, and other agrochemicals. These agrochemicals are used during the different stages of farming in order to improve soil fertility, and prevent crop damage due to environmental factors, weed growth, and pests. The growth in the usage of different types of agrochemicals will continue to boost the MEA Specialty Chemicals Market growth.
In addition, MEA has some of the largest oil producing countries in the world, namely, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Algeria. These countries are also among the largest exporters of crude oil in the world and would continue to invest in the exploration and development of new oil fields. Owing to this, the demand for specialty chemicals used in oil fields is expected to rise in the region. Also, rising demand for specialty chemicals in the production of automotive lubricants is also expected to boost the MEA Specialty Chemicals Market during the coming years.
Furthermore, The MEA Specialty Chemicals Market is undergoing rapid consolidation through increased merger and acquisition activities over the recent years. The growing merger and acquisition activities are expected to result in lesser, yet more efficient number of players, who will provide new product offerings to end user industries. For instance, in 2017, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation announced that it was aiming for $3-6 billion business acquisition opportunities in petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and fertilizers. Thus, mergers and acquisitions is the major trend being witnessed in the MEA Specialty Chemicals Market.
However, companies engaged in the production of specialty chemicals are extremely sensitive to frequent fluctuation in raw material price. The frequent rise and fall in the raw material prices result in uncertainty in prices of end products, thereby negatively impacting the profit margins of the companies. The uncertainty created as a result of fluctuating raw material prices also adversely impacts the expansion plans of specialty chemical companies. Thus, fluctuating raw material prices is a major restraint in the MEA Specialty Chemicals Market.
