South African Manufacture of Basic Chemicals, Other Chemicals and Industrial Gases 2017 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Manufacture
of Basic Chemicals, other Chemicals and Industrial Gases in South Africa
2017" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

The report on the manufacture of basic chemicals, speciality chemicals
and industrial gases in South Africa examines current conditions and
developments as well as factors that influence the success of the sector
including the regulatory uncertainty that exists. Profiles are provided
for 27 companies including Rolfes Holdings Ltd which manufactures
speciality chemical and organic products for the industrial,
agricultural, food and water sectors.

Also profiled are Orthochem (Pty) Ltd, a company based in the Free State
that supplies raw chemicals for the water purification industry, and
Shell Downstream South Africa (Pty) Ltd which produces hydrocarbons,
industrial chemicals, lacquer thinners and solvent blends.

In 2015 the chemicals sector contributed 3% towards GDP and accounted
for 21.9% of total manufacturing GDP in the country. Although there is
strong local market demand for chemical products, this represents a
decline from 2017 figures of 3.4% and 24.6% respectively. Role players
attribute the decline in the sector to the increase in cheaper imported
chemicals and feedstock as well as a difficult economic environment.
