Top Chemicals Companies in Singapore

Overview

Second-largest contributor to the manufacturing sector and international trade of Singapore

Singapore is one of the top ten chemical players of the world, accounting for around 2% of the global chemical export and import market, with a trade value of USD 51 billion in 2020. Chemicals is a key industry for the Singaporean economy as it is the second-largest commodity in international trade, representing around 16% of exports (SGD 82 billion) and 10% of imports (SGD 45 billion) in 2021. It is also the second-largest industry in Singapore’s manufacturing sector, with manufacturing output of SGD 38 billion, accounting for 13% of total manufacturing output in 2020.

Singapore has over 100 global chemical companies, mostly stationed in Jurong Island, and it also has the world’s fifth-largest refining capacity for exports (1.5 billion barrels per day in 2018).

The chemical industry includes petroleum, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals and other chemical sub-segments. The largest segment, petroleum, accounts for 43% of chemical production, followed by petrochemicals, accounting for 40%, while specialty chemicals and other chemicals account for 11% and 6% respectively of the chemical market, as per the data in 2018.

In terms of key markets, China accounts for around 17% of Singapore’s chemical exports, followed by Korea (9%), and the US accounted for 8% of chemical exports in 2019. Singapore imports around 18% of its chemical inputs from the US and around 12% from France (as per 2019 data), according to world trade data.

Favourable business ecosystem and global connectivity attract global company operations

Although China has the largest global market share in the chemical industry, the trade tensions between China and the US have created a market opportunity for Singapore as an attractive alternative destination, by-passing the US-Chinese trade tariffs. Due to its prominence as a logistical hub for the ASEAN market and ease of doing business with supportive tax policies, and highly developed business ecosystem, Singapore has attracted chemical companies to set up headquarters and regional sourcing hubs in the country.

Braskem, a Brazilian petrochemical leader, opened a logistics hub in Singapore in 2021, in order to reduce its lead times and time-to-market. Other companies include speciality chemical manufacturers Evonik, Mitsui Chemicals Asia Pacific (MCAP), DIC Corporation, which manages 11 APAC territories from Singapore, and Lanxess’ regional hub for Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Key Trends

COVID-19 takes a toll on industry output over past two years

The chemical industry was among the worst affected by the pandemic in 2019 and 2020. Manufacturing output of the chemical industry declined by 12% YoY in 2019 to SGD 45 billion, from SGD 51 billion in 2018. The demand drop in automotive, speciality chemicals and consumer products caused a knock-on effect on the chemical industry, coupled with the oil price decline. The industry declined further in the following year by 15% YoY to SGD 38 billion 2020.

The global chemical industry was already facing an oversupply situation before the pandemic, as a result of the investment boom in petrochemical segments in Asia. The pandemic caused a global demand decline of around 30% in the chemical industry, across construction, automotive and transportation markets. Consequently, the global chemical industry share price index dropped steeply below the 2008 financial crisis levels, forcing chemical manufacturers to scale down operations to 40%-60% of capacity.

The scaling down was also as a result of labour and raw material shortages caused by movement restrictions. However, demand for pharmaceuticals, food additives, antiseptics, personal protective equipment and disinfectants peaked during this period, allowing chemical companies to shift production towards the highly demanded segments.

Chemical industry reinventing itself to cater to sustainability and digitalization needs post-COVID

The chemical manufacturing industry contributed 17% to the manufacturing sector’s nominal value-add, growing by 9% YoY in 2021, compared to a 14% contribution and 1% YoY decline in 2020. The growth was as a result of lower base figures, in addition to output expansion across all segments. The industry received around SGD 5 billion as foreign investments in 2020, which was a 29% YoY growth from the previous year.

The chemical industry as a whole is restrategizing to adapt to long-term trends, following the shock caused by COVID-19. Digitalization and sustainability are two long-term trends affecting the chemical industry, and Singapore aims to improve capabilities in these two areas.

In addition to Singapore's chemical industry transformation map, which outlines a target of achieving a manufacturing value-add of around SGD 13 billion and 1,400 new jobs by 2025, the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) also announced plans in 2021 to transform Jurong Island into a Sustainable Energy and Chemicals Park.

The project aims to transform Singapore’s energy and chemical industry to operate sustainably and export sustainable products globally. EDB’s key targets for the industry include increasing sustainable outputs by 1.5 times the level in 2019 before 2030, achieving world-class energy efficiency in its production process and realising at least two million tonnes of carbon capture potential with over six million tonnes of carbon abatement per annum from low-carbon solutions by 2050.

Upcoming projects in the chemical industry include:

  • The Sabic Saffron B Polymer plant, slated to open in 2022 - increasing the company’s production by 50%,
  • The Neste biofuels refinery, scheduled to open in 2023 - with around SGD 2 billion in investments and expanding its annual renewable products manufacturing capacity by around 5 million tons, and
  • The Arkema Symphony Project: the world’s largest integrated bio-factory for high-performance polymers with a EUR 300 million investment, slated to open in 2022 - increasing production capacity of Amino 11 and Rilsan Polyamide 11 by around 50%, which will be derived from 100% renewable castor beans.

In terms of digitalization, the Singapore tech ecosystem is expected to see a higher adoption of digitalization by the chemical industry. The pandemic has created the need for technology adoption in areas such as reengineering products for cost efficiency, increasing the robustness of supply chains, artificial intelligence (AI) for materials innovation, faster and low-cost formulations for ingredient recipes, and automation for manpower-intensive manufacturing processes.

Yokogawa, a leading Japanese engineering and software MNC, which opened a first-of-its-kind Co-Innovation Center in Singapore in 2016, has seen an uptick in adoption of automation and digitalization of production processes in the chemicals industry, post-COVID. Chemical manufacturer Linde launched a SGD 30 million initiative in 2018 to set up an Asia-Pacific Digitalization Hub in Singapore to develop digital technologies, with plans to digitally transform its plant on Jurong Island into a “plant of the future”.

In addition, 12 projects were funded as part of the Sustainable Jurong Island plan in areas such as carbon capture technologies, carbon utilisation in developing alternatives to sand and the production of commodity chemicals in 2021.

Key Statistics

  • The chemical industry had around 300 entities employing about 19,000 employees, utilising close to 5% of the manufacturing workforce in 2020
    • The industry paid around SGD 2 billion worth of remuneration in 2020
    • The number of entities in the industry has been growing despite COVID-19, where the industry added 12 entities in 2020 and 21 entities in 2019
  • The chemicals industry holds the second-largest non-oil domestic exports, accounting for 29% in 2021, and also the second-largest non-oil re-export industry, accounting for 8% in 2021
  • Other major buyers of Singapore’s chemical exports include Belgium and Indonesia, accounting for 7% and 6% of exports respectively in 2019
  • China accounted for 8% of Singapore’s chemical imports, in addition to Japan (8%) and Switzerland (7%) in 2019.
