Shomik Majumdar, Vice President, Consulting, Frost & Sullivan
Good companies understand what their customers want; great companies understand why and are better prepared to meet and provide what their customers want next. Mega trends arise at the interplay between changes that are happening to us as individuals, changes happening to the world at large, and our changing requirements and needs. Considering the impact of major mega trends allows businesses to pro-actively determine and respond to opportunities and threats. Key mega trends that have direct implication and relevance to the chemicals and materials industry are globalization, low carbon economy, health & well-being, and functionality and performance. Major chemical and material end-user markets such as automotive, personal and home care, fine chemicals, and building/construction have growing expectations from their suppliers to deliver novel solutions and/or services to help them to be at the forefront of addressing opportunities and challenges.

1. Cutting edge perspectives on the new game changers for chemicals and materials companies driven by demographics trends -- beyond BRIC countries

2. New strategies for adapting to the imminent new world order in the chemicals global market landscape

3 Analysis of the demand for chemicals and materials that enable health and wellness concepts, driven by the worldwide need for prevention and better general health
