✦ Synopsis

Packaging of Substances and Mixtures directive and the UN Globally Harmonized System's prerequisite for multi-language Material Safety Data Sheets. Industry players have been compelled to reduce their budgets for innovation and technology amid beyond-normallevel increases in raw materials and transport costs. In Asia, producers are focused on investing and making surplus cash to buy Western chemical assets. One example is Kuala Lumpur Kepong's acquisition of Dr Kolb and Emmerich. To evade a slump, Western manufacturers are advised to invest in more Asian assets to serve the growing indigenous markets.
