The chemical industry is one of the foundations of the modern economy

Its products are used in almost every aspect of manufacturing and retailing.

Like the rest of the world's economy, the chemical industry has experienced intense volatility over the past few years. However, this has been accompanied by substantial secular change, which has in turn had an enormous effect on the logistics structures supporting the sector.

The growth of chemical production in China is probably the largest of these developments; however the expansion of production in the Middle East is also of significant importance.

These trends have led to the chemical logistics sector becoming a more inter‐continental and global market.
