Segment Revenue
Multi-year deals:
In June 2017, AIL signed Rs. 40,000 mn multi‐year deal with a Global Agriculture Company for supply of a high
value agrochemical intermediary, for use in herbicides, over a 10‐year period
The supplies are expected to commence from FY20 and would generate expected revenues of approximately Rs. 4000
mn over the contract term.
The project will entail investment of about Rs. 4000 mn (approximately USD 62 mn) by AIL
In Dec 2017, AIL signed Rs. 100,000 mn multi‐year, exclusive supply contract with a leading global chemical congl
omerate over a 20‐year period
The supplies are expected to commence from 2020. AIL is set to enter a new chemistry range, first of its kind in India;
and its end product is amongst the major growth initiatives for the customer.
AIL will be investing $35‐40 mn to setup dedicated large scale manufacturing facility for production of this speciality
chemical intermediate, and will be built on the basic technology package received from the customer.
The customer shall provide $42 mn as an advance to AIL in installments, to be adjusted against supplies in the future.
This advance will help reduce the net capital employed enabling higher ROCE for this project.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Speciality Chemicals are known for end-use performance enhancing applications rather than their composition. They are
recognised for “what they do” rather than “what they are” as in the case of basic chemicals. They provide solutions to
customer applications are knowledge-based and are known to deliver more financial returns as compared to basic
chemicals. They are a blend of base chemicals and sold on the basis of their quality or utility, rather than product
composition or brand. They are relatively high value, but low volume chemicals as compared with basic chemicals or
commodity chemicals.
Since speciality chemicals are mainly used to add value to the finished product, they are primarily sold on a B2B
(Business to Business) basis. Speciality chemicals can be further divided into various sub-segments on the basis of end-
use applications. The major sub-segments are 1) Agro-chemicals, 2) Colourants, 3) Construction chemicals, 4) Flavours &
Document code: FOTL_051120184_2 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved
Fragrances, 5) Paints & Coatings, 6) Personal care, 7) Polymer & additives, 8) Surfactants, 9) Textile chemicals, and 10)
Water treatment chemicals.
While each sub segments have its own rationale for demand and growth, a higher growth is expected in the fields of
Agrochemicals, Water treatment chemicals, Polymer additives and Construction chemicals.
Global Speciality Chemicals market:
Over the past few decades, various countries has led the speciality chemicals business at different time periods. US led the
industry after World War II until the late 1980s, manufacturing chemicals for use in oil field services, electronics, plastics,
etc. Gradually, Europe took over and dominated the business mainly through exports, while the US and Japan remained
key producers. However, with trade liberalisation, technology transfer, reduction in economic barriers and rapid economic
growth in developing countries, the speciality chemicals industry expanded rapidly in Asia, with China contributing a
major part of this expansion. The high growth seen in China’s speciality chemicals industry may be attributed to low
labour costs, low energy and regulatory costs (compared to developed markets) and a highly-developed basic chemicals
segment. Although, China has witnessed strong growth in the speciality chemicals segment, significant regulatory issues
by way of higher pollution, labour reforms, etc. has increased the costs in China. India, on the other hand, would be able
to emerge as a fast-growing speciality chemicals hub on account of its low capital and operating cost competencies,
availability of feed stock and skilled manpower, better manufacturing standards and compliance of regulatory
frameworks, stronger IP protection, etc.
As per Grand View Research, the global speciality chemicals market was estimated at US$ 1.16 Tn in 2016 and is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% over 2017 to 2025, to reach US$ 1.79 Tn by 2025. Globally, speciality chemicals
are driven by extensive product research and innovation, which is a significant differentiator over the commoditized
chemical industry. Low cost labour and vast raw material resources are contributing to the increased growth in the Asia-
Pacific region, as foreign players are investing in emerging nations.
Gradual shift in preference as a major chemical supplier from China to India:
The Speciality Chemicals manufacturers in China are facing raw material shortage, rising energy costs, higher labour
costs and incremental effluent treatment and compliance charges. China’s weaker cost competitiveness in international
trade and product disruption due to wheeling of large manufacturing plants are contributing to slowdown in the Chinese
chemicals industry and its exports. India, a known alternative hub for chemicals could bag a multi-year exports
opportunity. China’s prolonged self-imposed slowdown offers a much longer window of at least a few years for Indian
chemicals peers to establish themselves in the international market by building global clients and ultimately tapping the
export opportunity.
Indian Speciality Chemicals market:
India is the 6th largest producer and the 6th largest consumer of chemicals worldwide. The Speciality Chemicals industry
in India represents a US$ 25 Bn market, growing at 14% over the last five years led by domestic consumption, growing
faster than the chemical sector as a whole. The industry serves both the local market and the global market. The key
Document code: FOTL_051120184_2 Copyright © 2016 Firstobject Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved
speciality segments in India are agrochemicals, paints, coating and construction chemicals, colourants, fine chemicals,
personal care chemicals and aroma chemicals. The critical success factors for most of the speciality chemical segments
include understanding of customer needs and product/application development to meet the same at a favourable price-
performance ratio. Global firms are gradually facing the heat of compliance, cost and capacity issues in other markets,
especially China, and are thus looking to outsource their manufacturing processes to India. The structural shift towards
Indian speciality chemical players is ably supported by the Government in the form of a robust patent framework, the
presence of appropriate regulations to protect intellectual capital, improvement in infrastructure and thrusts to promote
investments in R&D, as well as green technologies and a rich pool of knowledge workers.
Opportunity and outlook:
India has remained in China’s shadow for a long time in the global chemical speciality market. However, gradually it is
emerging out of with its own structural benefits and the spillover effect of China’s declining competitiveness. The factors
driving the growth of the speciality chemicals market include large base of end-use industries, high demand from Asia-
Pacific, increasing demand from automotive industry, and technological advancements. Over and above, faster end-use
industry growth, low penetration of speciality chemicals in India will support growth. Exponential growth expectations
led by favourable macro-economic factors in pharmaceutical, personal and home care products also presents a humungous
growth opportunity for associated speciality chemicals manufacturers. According to TSMG-FICCI, speciality chemicals
industry could grow 13%, leading to a market size of US$ 52 Bn by 2020.
