化学品

コモディティ製品と特殊化学品は異なる課題に直面しているものの、共通の必須課題もあります。それは、コスト圧力の増大と顧客の期待の高まりに対応することです。BCGの化学品業界のコンサルティングチームは、企業がこうした課題に対応する革新的な方法を見いだせるよう支援します。

経済情勢、バリューチェーンと顧客の要求の変化、規制の厳格化、環境に関する懸念により、4兆ドルにのぼる世界の化学品業界の至る所に影響がおよんでいます。しかし、その影響のしかたは同じではありません。化学品販売企業は、一定の地域においては他よりも堅調です。特殊化学品サプライヤーは、汎用化学品業界のサプライヤーより優れた業績をあげています。また、原油価格上昇により化学品製造企業の競争力が低下しています。

特殊品であるか、どんな状況であるかにかかわらず、化学品企業は、最終製品を生産し、より早く市場に投入し、顧客の要求をより良く満たすために、イノベーションのニーズがあるという点で一致しています。化学品業界の企業が勝利をおさめるためには、戦略、優れた営業・マーケティングとサービス、コスト改革、そして最上位クラスのデータ組織能力に注力する必要があります。
