The rise in chemical production is expected to propel the growth of the chemical logistics market. An increase in the production of chemicals to supply to various industries, including food production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and engineering, leads to a rise in the need for safe corners of transportation and distribution services. For instance, according to the American Chemistry Council, Chemical volumes in the United States increased by 1. 4% in 2021 and 3. 2% in 2022, while shipments increased by 8. 1% in 2021 and 8. 2% in 2022. Furthermore, according to the government of India, India's chemical sector (including fertilizers and pharmaceuticals) showcased a 18-23% revenue growth in FY2022 and is predicted to expand to USD 304 billion by 2025, with an annual growth rate of 9. 3%. Therefore, the rise in chemical production is driving the growth of the chemical logistics market.
The growing petroleum industry is expected to drive the growth of the chemical logistics market going forward. Petrochemicals are a key component of the chemical industry and many chemicals are derived from petrochemical feedstocks. These chemicals are used in a wide range of industries including pharmaceuticals, plastics, textiles, agriculture, and more. A thriving petroleum industry leads to an increased demand for the transportation and distribution of these chemicals to manufacturers. In the first half of 2022, exports of U. S. petroleum products grew by 11%, equivalent to an increase of 596,000 barrels per day (b/d), when compared to the same period in 2021. Therefore, growth in the petroleum industry is expected to generate high demand for the chemical logistics market.
Major companies in the chemical logistics market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as chemical logistics centers, to enhance operational efficiency and improve service delivery. A chemical logistics center is a specialized facility designed for the storage, handling, and transportation of chemical products. For example, in December 2023, GWC Logistics, a logistics company based in Qatar, inaugurated a new chemical logistics center in Doha's industrial area, spanning 16,000 square meters. This cutting-edge facility is intended to serve various industries, including manufacturing and automotive, with specialized storage capabilities for hazardous materials like gases and flammable liquids.
