Chemicals as a Window into the Global Economy
Chemicals, being the third largest business in the world after energy and agriculture, provide a broad view of the global economy as they are present in almost everything we use. From plastics to electronics, chemicals are interconnected with various sectors. Unlike other industries, chemicals require understanding of various aspects like housing, electronics, oil, natural gas, and more.
