ACHEMA Panel Discussion: Digitalization meets Process Industry: rewriting business models

The traditional chemical and pharmaceutical industry needs to refocus and rebuild its value chain processes to secure its leading market position on a long-term. Digital technologies could lead to new business models as well as start-ups could change the way how business is done in the world of pharma and chemistry.

The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is more and more lacking innovation, in terms of new elements, molecules, materials and blockbusters. Furthermore, speciality chemicals companies fear commoditization, due to high price pressure of new players as well as new and changing customer expectations - mostly driven by digital solutions from tech companies far out of the process industry.

The chemical industry has shown successfully the decoupling of energy input and production output – can the major players now lead us into an outcome-based economy, where production volume and revenue are decoupled?
