The second edition of „Chemicals Consulting Insights“ shows how heavily the chemical industry's supply chains are burdened by demand chains, geopolitical conflicts, volatile raw material prices and new regulatory requirements. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud applications and digital twins increase transparency, accelerate decision-making and support more sustainable processes. There are regional differences in focus: Europe and North America prioritise solutions that support compliance and transparency, while Asia and Latin America focus on technologies for scaling and automation. Medium-sized and large companies are driving digitalisation forward. Our Implementation Efficiency Matrix, which categorises technologies according to benefits and feasibility, provides guidance.
