Singapore Chemicals 2018 Pre-Release

May 24, 2018

 

Home to over one hundred chemical manufacturers, and one of the world’s top 10 exporters of chemicals, Singapore is an undisputed powerhouse in the industry. 2018 marks Singapore’s Year of Climate Action, a testament to the island state’s commitment to the Paris agreement and pledge for sustainability.  Having to tread carefully in an uncertain geopolitical climate, the city-state continues to invest in its strengths – talent, research and development, and technological advancement. Leveraging government support and strong solution partners, the chemicals industry is increasingly adopting advanced manufacturing practices whilst Asia’s exponential growth, shifting regulatory framework and growing consumer desires all pose a coveted opportunity for Singapore.
