ASEAN Chemical Logistics Market Analysis
The ASEAN chemical logistics market has a 2022 value of USD 81 billion, and during the forecast period, it is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 5.5%.
- The chemical industry is one of the ASEAN's most significant industries. With a chemical supply chain spanning from chemical manufacture to chemical distribution, this sector must run a tight ship. In a world where chemicals are used in the production of 96% of all manufactured items, there are several chances for chemical firms to expand. Transportation and logistics are critical in the chemical industry for keeping demand and supply in balance.
- The Thai pharmaceutical business is primarily concerned with the manufacture of downstream finished goods. Drugs manufactured in-country are often generics, with imported active ingredients blended and processed into finished goods destined mostly for the domestic market (about 90% of total output is consumed within the nation).
- The COVID-19 outbreak caused a decrease in the uptake of hospital services for non-serious conditions, while sales through pharmacies slowed due to weakening consumer spending power.
- Chemical fertilizer demand is expected to rise by 2.5% each year over the next three years, to 5.6-5.8 million tonnes for usage with the primary crops of rice, maize (for animal feed), oil palm, sugarcane, rubber, and cassava. Rice (estimated to grow by 1.5-2.5% per year), maize, and cassava (anticipated to rise by 2.0-3.0% per year) are particularly essential, accounting for almost 60% of total fertilizer usage.
- Manufacturers will aim to broaden their market access and distribution channels, for example, by adding value via the creation of new goods (for example, by making customized fertilizer mixes) and by expanding exports to neighbouring countries.
ASEAN Chemical Logistics Market Trends
The Rise in Chemical Production is Expected to Propel the Growth of the Chemical Logistics Market
- According to the Industry and Trade Information Centre (VITIC), there are about 1.81 thousand chemical manufacturing firms in six economic areas across Vietnam, of which 894 are fertilizer manufacturers and 106 are chemical enterprises. plant protection chemicals, 68 companies manufacturing basic chemicals, 14 companies making petrochemical goods, and so on.
- The chemical sector today employs 2.7 million people, 725 thousand of whom are actively involved in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products. According to data from the General Statistics Office, the chemical sector is still growing well, with bright spots in both output and consumption.
- In June 2022, the output of cosmetics, soaps, detergents, polishes, and hygiene products climbed by 7.7% compared to the first six months of 2021, and by 20.7% compared to the average month.
- According to data from the General Department of Customs, Vietnam's chemical export turnover in the first eight months of 2021 reached USD 1.45 billion, up 29.4% over the same period in 2020.
- Basic chemicals and detergents are examples of chemical items that Vietnamese enterprises might benefit from the EVFTA. Specifically, the tax rate for laundry detergents (HS 3402) was reduced from 4% to 0% as soon as the agreement went into effect, while the tax rate for phosphorus products (HS 2804 7000) was reduced from 5.5% to 0% as soon as the agreement went into effect.
- Exports of hydrogen, rare gases, and other non-metallic products of Vietnam also increased by 5% during the period while that of the world decreased by 6%.
Rise of Tech-Driven Logistics Services and Growth in Adoption of IOT Enabled Connected Devices
The chemical industry's increased demand for automation and modernized green warehouses for sustainable company operations drives market expansion. Chemical producers are rapidly investing in cost-effective warehousing solutions that integrate green practices with smart technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensors, and robots, as concerns about energy saving and environmental protection grow.
The Internet of Things (IoT) industry in Southeast Asia (SEA) has grown significantly in recent years, with enterprises realizing the need for connection, particularly in a Covid-19-affected world. Connected technologies are considered a driving force in increasing corporate efficiency, minimizing downtime, and regulating expenses.
IoT technology is key to Thailand's 4.0 plan and will be critical in driving the country's digital transformation. Narrowband IoT technology has been deployed across the country by companies such as AIS and True Corporation. Vehicle tracking and smart parking applications are now commercial, whereas smart metering applications are in the testing stage.
Thailand's dtac has announced the debut of 5G IoT solutions across three primary business segments: smart industrial, smart logistics, and smart utilities. Smart factory solution developers can access existing systems and develop digitalisation plans with IoT capabilities to collect, analyse, and monitor data in real time and remotely to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and conform to future digital platforms. IoT and smart sensors are projected to provide exact real-time monitoring of items as they are carried, allowing businesses to follow progress and increase security.
Furthermore, National Telecom (NT), WhiteSpace (WSP), Delta Electronics (Thailand), and Chunghwa Telecom have signed an agreement to collaborate on a 5G private network in Thailand. Thailand intends to use a 5G network to upgrade IoT to enormous IoT and enable a larger density of linked devices. Furthermore, Thailand's AIS has collaborated with ZTE and Suranaree University of Technology to convert manufacturing plants into smart factories.
According to ASEAN Briefing, Indonesia's IoT industry is predicted to reach USD 30 billion by 2022, with the sector having a substantial influence on lowering healthcare expenses, increasing industrial productivity, and lowering corporate operations costs.
