Distribution Of Commodity And Specialty Chemicals By Third Parties Is Anticipated To Witness Significant Growth
For the industrial and manufacturing industries, the chemical industry manufactures and delivers important raw material. These feedstocks are distributed by third parties or directly sold by producers to end-users. Third parties should be expected to distribute the products and specialty chemicals to a considerable degree of growth than products directly to end users due to the outsourcing of value-added services, for example logistics, packaging, blending, waste disposal, inventory management and technical training.

The U.S. market for chemical distribution is driven by sustained construction activities
Sustainable building activities and high consumer purchasing power drive the American chemical distribution sector. Business investment in the housing sector is increasing pace and helping the chemical industry to create momentum. It is expected that this tendency would result in the manufacturing sector expanding significantly and will have a beneficial impact on the general market.
