Indonesia Basic Chemicals Market Outlook - 2021–2030
The Indonesia basic chemicals market size was valued at $17.6 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $35.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2030.
Basic chemicals are usually produced in large quantities and are crucial products that are used in the industrial and consumer sectors. Basic chemicals are mainly grouped into three categories, which include organic petrochemicals, inorganic chemicals, and oleochemicals. Sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, caustic soda, nitric soda, hydrochloric acid (HCL), are types of inorganic chemicals. Organic petrochemicals include ethylene, propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene, and methanol, while oleochemicals include fatty acids, fatty alcohols, methyl ester, and glycerol.
Understanding the manufacturing process and chemical composition of basic chemicals is of utmost importance. This helps cut down the manufacturing cost and comply the stringent environmental regulations set up by various governmental and non-governmental bodies. For instance, Intertek is global leader that tests and analyze basic chemicals utilized in sectors such as polymer, agrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. This is expected to escalate the growth of the Indonesia basic chemicals market. Applications of basic chemicals such as fertilizer manufacturing, synthetic detergents, household cleaning products, pulp & paper, and water treatment plants are driving the adoption of basic chemicals. Dilute phosphoric acid is widely adopted as food additive, owing to its pleasing smell and lending acidic property to soft drinks and it is main component in fertilizers, detergents, and products that are used for household cleaning. This is anticipated to drive the growth of the market.
On the contrary, chemicals such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid are highly corrosive in nature and may cause chemical burn and secondary thermal burn. In addition, other basic chemicals can cause severe health issues such as blindness if they are splashed into eye. These factors are predicted to hamper the Indonesia basic chemicals market growth. Moreover, inhalation of air that contains high level of nitric acid leads to throat dryness, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is utilized mainly for production of vinyl chloride monomer, which can be further used for manufacturing of PVC and production of chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene, ethylene amines, vinylidene chloride, and trichloroethane that uses EDC as an intermediate chemical compound. Use of EDC as a catalyst during production of hexachlorophene and as an intermediate for manufacturing of perchloroethylene is anticipated to open up new opportunity in the future.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Indonesia basic chemicals market
- The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the global economy and is subsequently shrinking the GDP in global economies; thereby, changing consumer spending patterns globally.
- Several challenges have been faced by the plastic industry due to the outbreak of the pandemic such as temporary closure of manufacturing sites and travel restrictions, which, in turn, has created logistical supply issue and delay is shipment.
- Major construction & building sector across the world are facing problems despite of no construction ban. This is attributed to disruption in value chain and closure of other industries that are directly or indirectly linked with the construction sector.
- The real estate sector is directly dependent on the growth of the building & construction sector. Owing to unavailability of raw materials, slowdown in the construction sector, and restrictions laid by government to prevent the spread of virus, the demand for building & construction has declined considerably. Thus, consumption and production of basic chemicals have been hampered during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- In addition, other industries such as food & beverage and agriculture are hit due to the global health crisis, which, in turn, has negatively affected the Indonesia basic chemicals market.
