The Top 10 Global Fine Chemicals Companies: Industry overview, key trends, growth strategies, financial performance, and SWOT analysis
The history of the fine chemicals industry dates back to the late 18th century, when the early chemical industry was evolved from natural dyes and explosives into modern pharmaceutical products. However, by the end of the 19th century, the commercial production of branded pharmaceuticals flourished in Europe (especially in Germany, as many of the active pharmaceutical ingredients were produced in this country).
Fine chemicals are generally produced on a large scale, which can be measured in thousands of tonnes per year for certain food additives and drug intermediates. Fine chemicals manufacturing is typically carried out in batch processes, with synthesis being followed by separation and purification steps.
Pharmaceuticals has always been the largest market for the fine chemicals industry. Moreover, it is likely that pharmaceutical intermediates will account for over two-thirds of the fine chemicals market by 2012. Although the number of fine chemicals companies involved in the manufacture of high potency APIs (HPAPIs) has historically been limited, the segment has attracted more companies recently.
Profitability levels have fallen for many fine chemical companies in recent years. However, the recent focus on biopharmaceutical products holds promise for this industry in the future. For instance, many of the larger fine chemicals players have invested in biotechnology, either through self-funded R&D programs or through alliances and partnerships.

Scope of this report
• Develop insights into the global fine chemicals market, including pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical intermediates, flavors and fragrances, dyes, and others
• Build knowledge of key partnerships and M&A activities that are shaping the future of the global fine chemicals industry.
• Understand the major issues affecting the global fine chemicals industry.
• Assess the competitive landscape of the global fine chemical industry.
Key Market Issues
• Increasing demand for HPAPIs: HPAPIs are very effective in treating diseases at low dosage; however, the production of such potent compounds requires significant investment. Thus, many companies are also differentiating their products from their competitors through specialized technologies and demonstrated expertise. The growth in demand for HPAPIs, primarily in cancer therapies, is expected to increase its sales in the near future. Additionally, the ability to increase life expectancy among cancer patients will also drive the demand for HPAPIs in coming years.
• Relocation to emerging and fast growing markets: Managing and rationalizing existing assets in the EU and investing in new facilities in emerging and fast growing markets has been a key trend in the fine chemicals sector recently. Growth in Western Europe started to slow in recent years, making Asia (mainly China and India) and Latin American countries the new growth markets for the fine chemicals industry.
• Advanced technologies: Recently, many of the leading pharmaceutical and fine chemicals manufacturers have started to focus on small-scale complex products, an area where advanced technologies are required. For example, in June 2009, Italian fine chemicals company Endura announced that it would commercialize a technology that encapsulates insecticide into very small crystals. The encapsulation delays the release of insecticides, thus enabling an enzyme inhibitor to disable the enzymes that insects use to block pesticides. Moreover, Endura will also promote the concept of microencapsulated piperonyl butoxide (PBO, a naturally occurring synergist) in agriculture throughout the world in collaboration with strategic partners.
Key findings from this report
• The pharmaceutical industry has always been the largest market for the fine chemicals industry. Although the number of fine chemicals companies that are developing high-potency APIs has been limited, this segment has attracted many companies in recent years.
• Fine chemicals players with significant exposure to the generics segment are likely to face pressure on their profitability levels in the near future. However, the recent shift in focus toward biopharmaceutical products will expand the margin of this industry in coming years.
• Agrochemical intermediates represent the second largest category among fine chemicals (after APIs), the majority of which are used in the manufacture of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and fumigates.
• Outsourcing has become a key trend in this industry, fueled by the growing importance of biopharmaceutical and virtual pharma companies in low-cost destinations such as Asia. Outsourcing from biotech and pharmaceutical companies will strengthen the custom manufacturing industry in India and China.
• BASF is one of the leading chemical producers in the world, with significant exposure in fine chemicals. With a presence in over 80 countries, BASF is one of the leading suppliers of chemical intermediates to the plastic, automobile, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries.
