The chemicals industry is a key sector of the South African economy. It accounts for about 25% of the nation's manufacturing sales and is the most developed of its kind in Africa, according to the Chemical and Allied Industries Association. 

KPMG's chemical specialists can help chemical companies understand and react to a number of industry-wide issues. 

Complex regulatory environment

Emerging Market Growth 

Chemical companies are increasingly seeing the advantage of expanding their footprint as well as a number of new chemical majors establishing themselves from within high-growth markets.   

Driving Operational Excellence

Finding innovative ways to drive operational excellence across the organisation enables chemical companies to continue to be successful in uncertain times.   

Innovation and Global Mega Trends 

Chemical industry leaders need to innovate to develop products that react to the emerging global megatrends, such as population growth, water, and food scarcity, sustainability, energy use, and climate change.
