"There is no dearth of challenges, from sluggish yet slowly recovering demand, shipping disruptions from geopolitical turmoil, heightened regulatory activity and sustainability needs of customers, increasing tariffs, deindustrialization in Europe and reworking of supply chains from reshoring/nearshoring," he added.
The ICIS Top 100 Chemical Distributors has been compiled with the support of the European Association of Chemical Distributors (Fecc), the US-based Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD) which was formerly NACD, Associquim (Brazilian Association of Chemical and Petrochemical Distributors), Responsible Distribution Canada (RDC), UK-based Chemical Business Association (CBA), and Netherlands-based International Chemical Trade Association (ICTA).
The ICIS Top 100 Chemical Distributors ranking is based on 2023 sales and year-end 2023 currency exchange rates, appears in the special 24 May 2024 issue of ICIS Chemical Business in association with the Fecc. It is available for download here.
