#Internet of Things (IoT) in the chemical Market Growth Drivers And Industry Catalysts
The rising demand within the chemical industry is projected to advance the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into the chemical market in the coming period. The chemical industry encompasses the sector involved in the development, manufacture, and distribution of chemicals and related products. Deploying IoT solutions offers the chemical industry significant opportunities to improve operational efficiency, enhance safety, bolster sustainability, and refine decision-making. As an illustration, in February 2023, a report from BASF SE, a Germany-based chemicals company, indicated that global chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) is expected to grow by 2.0% in 2023. Additionally, in China, the world’s largest chemical market, chemical production is forecast to grow by 5.9%. This escalating demand within the chemical industry is therefore driving the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the chemical market.

Internet of Things (IoT) in the chemical Market Innovation Trends Driving Future Development
Leading companies in the IoT in the chemicals market are developing advanced innovative technologies, such as digital twins, to secure a competitive advantage. A digital twin is a virtual representation or digital equivalent of a physical object, system, or process. It involves creating a detailed and dynamic digital model that mirrors the characteristics, behavior, and attributes of its real-world counterpart in real-time or near-real-time. For example, in April 2023, AGC Inc., a Japan-based glass manufacturing company, developed Process Digital Twin specifically for chemical plants. This innovative system creates a virtual replica of an actual plant by feeding real-time operational data into a process simulator through a Plant Information Management System (PIMS). The technology enables rapid calculations, providing immediate situational awareness and data-driven decision-making. The process includes a rigorous reaction model that accounts for even elementary reactions, dynamic simulation that replicates both stable plant states and transitional phases, and improved reproducibility through automatic correction for changes in asset performance over time.
