The Chemicals Sector has an exciting event to look forward to this year, as Indian Chemicals Council (ICC) and Frost & Sullivan gear up to host “7th Annual India Chemical Industry Outlook Conference” from March 06 - 07, 2014, at the Taj Lands End, Mumbai. Frost & Sullivan is the Knowledge Partner for this 7th edition of the event hosted by ICC.

In this edition, eminent speakers and dignitaries will provide inputs on the challenges and opportunities in the chemicals and materials space in context to the global chemicals and materials industry. The event will also seek to provide an understanding of the megatrends, technology and innovation impacting the industry, and the role of various stakeholders for leveraging these opportunities.

Vishnu Shankar, Associate Director, Chemicals, Materials & Foods Practice, Frost & Sullivan states, “Exciting times lie ahead for the Indian chemical industry vis-à-vis what's happening around the world. Shale gas developments in North America, major non-oil and gas diversification drives in the Middle East, expanding chemical capacity in China, etc., are just some of the major global developments that Indian manufacturers have to be aware of as they plan their growth strategies over the next decade.

We believe that a summit of this nature not only brings the best minds under one roof, but also provides a platform where the initial seeds can be sown towards devising strategies to increase India’s share from the current 5 percent that it holds today in the global chemical industry.”

Mr. HS Karangle, Director General of ICC says, “The India Chemical Industry Outlook Conference has served as a platform for people from the industry to come together and discuss on sector specific themes. The 7th edition of the conference is designed to bring pertinent issues faced by the chemical industry today to the forefront and talk about the way forward for the industry.”

As Knowledge Partners, Frost & Sullivan, besides playing an advisory role on the entire program structure and the theme, will also present a Whitepaper titled “Indian Chemical Industry and Mega Trends Impacting the Industry”. In its study, Frost & Sullivan finds that the Indian chemical industry was the second largest producer in Asia in terms of volume, after China.
