The worldwide chemicals industry in 2024 was valued at over a whopping 5,500 billion USD. Meanwhile, in the Asia Pacific, the output in chemicals is predicted at 5.2% compared to a 3% rate on a global scale, with countries like China, Thailand, Indonesia, and India taking the lead. This is majorly owing to rising disposable income and industrialisation across various industries, and as a result, the APAC chemicals industry is poised to undergo a nearly 6.2% compounded growth rate annually from 2024 through 2031, according to forecasts. Nueconomy understands the significance of this thriving sector and its potential impact on economic development. In our ongoing commitment to providing market insights, we’ve identified a curated list of upcoming chemical conferences in Asia 2024 which are a must-attend for economic development organizations looking to engage with this high-growth market.
