WEBINAR - What is the outlook for the surfactants value chain as we enter into a new decade?

 Outlook for the surfactants value chain

Note, this Webinar was held on Wednesday 25th November - if you missed it Contact Us for further information.

The importance of surfactants was made very clear in 2020 as a critical weapon to fight the COVID19 pandemic. Demand into household and personal care increased correspondingly and healthy growth is expected to continue, particularly in emerging markets and Asia.

Entering into a new decade with a lower oil price environment, with overcapacity in key raw materials and increasing regulatory pressure - what will all this mean for market participants?

This Webinar will address key questions:

  • How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the surfactants sector and how permanent are these impacts?
  • What trends are influencing the supply landscape and which regions/companies are currently investing in capacity?
  • What is the potential impact of new and potential regulations? Including process safety and environmental legislation, following the Tarragona incident and 1,4-dioxane legislation.

We will be hosting two sessions:
