This report sets out a clear blueprint for the next phase of growth for India’s chemical sector. After two decades of strong performance, Indian chemical companies have proven their ability to execute, compete, and create value. The next challenge is scale—real, global scale.
As India’s chemical market accelerates toward $300 billion by 2030, the report argues that incremental growth is no longer sufficient. Indian ChemCos must set bold ambitions and make deliberate choices to scale beyond familiar value chains and operating models.
The report distills this journey into a 10-point blueprint, combining five strategic moves and five organizational muscles. These range from shifting to application-led solutions and placing focused decadal bets, to rewiring value chains, building global partnerships, strengthening marketing and digital capabilities, and committing to long-horizon R&D and talent development.
Together, these actions form an execution-focused design brief for Indian chemical companies seeking to build enduring global leadership
