Technology Management International (Pvt) Ltd. 31/11-A, Abu Bakr Block New Garden Town, Lahore 2010. - 150 р.The global chemical industry forms the fabric of the modern world. It converts basic raw materials into more than 70,000 different products, not only for industry, but also for all the consumer goods that people rely on in their daily life. The modern chemical industry is divided into four broad categories, comprising basic chemicals, life sciences, specialty chemicals and consumer products. Its outstanding success is largely due to unceasing scientific and technological breakthroughs and advances, which have led to the development of new products and processes.Chemical industry development in Pakistan has been classified into the primary sector chemical industry and the secondary sector chemical industry. Primary sector industries are large-scale, capital intensive industries comprising refineries, petrochemicals, natural gas, metallurgical and mineral based projects. They also provide feedstocks for the secondary chemical industry. Secondary industries are based on feedstocks either derived from primary sector industries, or other alternative sources of raw materials. These are less capital intensive and are based on high, medium or less sophisticated technologies. The secondary sector industries form the basis for the proposed Chemical Industry Development - Vision 2030.<strong>ContentsDescription Acknowledgement Team of Experts Executive Summary<strong>Chapter 1 Scope Of The World’s Chemical Industry Scope of the chemical industry Category wise breakdown of the chemical industry Research and development in the chemical industry Classification of the chemical industry development of Pakistan –Vision 2030.<strong>Chapter 2 Potential for the development of secondary chemical industries based on feedstocks derived from primary industriesFeedstocks derived from primary industries for the potential development of secondary chemical industries.
