The Indian chemical market is poised to move into the next phase with 12%-15% annualized growth till 2012. Though a turnover of USD 35-40 billion in 2007 is still miniscule by global standards, the opportunity it presents has made India a definitive blip on the radar of many global majors. Even as global companies draw up their India plans, a slew of Indian chemical majors are also expanding their international footprint. In the past Indian manufacturers were under severe cost pressures due to opening up of the market but they have been able to break the shackles and create new niches for themselves through global expansions, growth and cost competitiveness.
