ICIS and Neil A Burns are delighted to announce that the 2nd edition of the Indian Surfactants Conference will be returning to Mumbai October 11 – 12, 2018, (Training: 10 October, 2018)

Personal care, cleaning, paints and coatings and agrichemical sectors are all showing strong demand growth in India, so local and global companies are looking to capitalise. With India’s goals to be a major exporter of chemicals by 2020 and the combined challenges of infrastructure, fragmentation and competition from China, there is much to be discussed in 2018.

Is your company looking to upgrade its products? Need a way to stand out in the competitive climate?

India is experiencing a major economic transition, which has significant effects for surfactants. An increasing middle class and average disposable income helps drive the demand for surfactants across a range of industries in India. Key players are closely monitoring growth sectors to capitalise on the next big opportunity in surfactants. In order to become a global surfactants industry leader, India is now looking to invest in research and development, sustainable solutions and increased capacity in line with the country’s socioeconomic development goals. India’s plans to become a global exporter of surfactants means that trade relationships could change considerably in the coming years and decades. Chinese manufacturing costs are still too competitive for India to export to SE Asia; however, this export market is also now emerging. For small to medium-sized Indian players, the real question lies in how to best add value to products in a highly competitive market.
