2024 年化學領域十大成長機會Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Chemicals, 2024 |
替代原料和產品創新將在2024年創造巨大機會
隨著2024年的臨近,化學工業正進入一個前所未有的變革時代。三個相互關聯的大趨勢支撐著這項變化。
永續性是當今化工公司的首要任務。擺脫石化燃料作為原料的壓力,加上減少化學工業自身直接碳排放(以及更廣泛的環境足跡)的願望,將支持永續下游客戶產業的發展。
同時,人工智慧等技術可能為開發新化學物質和材料創造重要機會。 2024年,化工產業預計將迎來新產品開發的大繁榮。
最後,當前的地緣政治緊張局勢可能會為該行業帶來多種影響。結果之一就是人們對在地化的興趣日益濃厚。數位和自動化技術的進步使這一點變得越來越可行,因此未來更多的化工廠將不再是世界一流的,而是更小、更靈活、更方便客戶,並且在許多情況下將更具成本效益。
Alternative Feedstocks and Product Innovation Will Create Major Opportunities in 2024
As we enter 2024, the chemical industry is going through a period of unprecedented change. Three interrelated Mega Trends are underpinning this change.
For chemical companies today, sustainability is the top challenge. The pressure to migrate away from fossil fuels as a feedstock is combined with a desire to reduce the direct carbon emissions (and broader environmental footprint) of the chemical industry itself-all whilst supporting the development of low-carbon downstream customer industries.
At the same time, technologies such as AI will create enormous opportunities to develop new chemicals and materials. The industry will experience a major upswing in new product development activity in 2024.
Finally, the current geopolitical tensions will have several knock-on effects on the industry. One outcome will be to accelerate the interest in localization. Advances in digital and automation technologies are increasingly making this feasible, so more chemical plants in the future will no longer be world-scale, but smaller, more flexible, closer to the customer, and in many cases even more cost-effective than the world-scale plants they will replace.
