Future of Fine Chemicals:

Fine Chemicals are that set of chemicals which are produced in limited quantities to fit the exact requirement of sectors like Pharmaceutical industries, biopharmaceuticals, agro, etc.

It is usual that they are produced in batches consuming a reasonable amount of time, and scale can vary from milligrams to a few kilos. Above all their specialty is that they produce the exact specifications mentioned by the clients. Though fine chemicals constitute roughly to around 4-5% of the trillion dollar chemical industry, they have made their mark & are expected to grow multifold.

A good number of pharma chemicals have their active ingredient as fine chemicals; few examples of them are Triacetin, Diethyl phthalate, glycol formal, oleic acid, etc. Similarly Research Chemicals like 2 iodo benzoic acid, 3 iodo benzoic acid, 2 Iodo toluene, Tetra butyl ammonium periodate, etc. have their explicit requirement. On an overall view of the divisions, the pharmaceutical industry has a major share of 55% when compared to any other division. Pfizer USA, Roche - Switzerland, GlaxoSmithKline - UK, Sanofi Aventis- France and Novartis - Switzerland is a few big names in pharma.

Weighing Outsourcing & In-house manufacturing options:

Getting work done externally on the contract has advantages like work will begin almost instantly, you save time on setting up the manufacturing unit and perfecting it to validate results. Benefits of an expert panel are enjoyed with the least effort; time and investment can be focused on other activities. Last but may not be the least, the risk involved in handling hazardous chemicals and the tedious regulatory processes are avoided. There are no major notable disadvantages but consideration can be given to diffusion of Intellectual Property, which rarely happens as there is an exchange of trust beyond legal binding. Tax considerations can also be detailed.

Do Specialty and Fine Chemicals differ?

Yes, they do! Fine Chemicals are the active ingredients in Specialty Chemicals and are just what they are. But Specialty products are formulations or a mixture of several compounds which bring about the reaction or ‘they do what they were formulated for ’ this applies to all, be it pharma or agro. Fine chemicals are costlier when compared to commodity chems, and specialty chemicals are in general costlier.

Fine chemical’s applications are in photography, agriculture, electronic chemicals, adhesives, foams, fibers, etc. Getting oneself involved in the manufacture of fine chemicals needs expertise and experience; gaining both would be a long run.
