Chemicals and plastics

CMR

CMR specializes in chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, and plastics. Since 1990, CMR has completed 600+ projects for 300+ clients globally, and has published 55+ multi-client studies.

The chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, plastics, and materials markets are on a trajectory of significant growth, fueled by the expansion of emerging economies and powerful macrotrends like digital commerce, sustainability, the Energy Transition, and rapid urbanization.

Yet, this dynamic landscape presents a unique set of challenges: navigating complex policy and regulatory pressures, enduring business model cyclicality, adapting to feedstock supply shifts, managing rising energy costs, fending off increasing competition, satisfying demanding customers, and overcoming intricate supply chain complexities.

To thrive in this environment, chemicals and materials companies need more than just insights—they need a profound understanding of market and customer segments, refined corporate and growth strategies, optimized costs, and the smart deployment of new technologies and innovation.
