    EUROPEAN ACETIC ANHYDRIDE MARKET

    Abstract

    This research paper studies various factors which affect European Acetic Anhydride

    Market and opportunities which can be capitalized by Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd. The

    European chemicals industry is one of the largest European industrial sectors and an

    important source of direct and indirect employment in many regions of the European

    Union (EU). With a total production value of 449 billion in 2010, the chemical

    industry's contribution to the EU gross domestic product amounted to 1.1%

    representing about 7% of the total for the manufacturing sector.

    The outputs of the EU chemicals industry are typically classified in 3 types of

    industries: basic, specialties and Consumer Chemicals. There are many factors which

    affect the chemical industry across the Europe that has been studied in this report. To

    analyze them in-depth, various analyses like Porters 5 Forces Model, Life Cycle

    Analysis, PESTEL Analysis etc. As a value addition to the organization (Jubilant LifeSciences Ltd) which supported my research, various analyses like SWOT Analysis,

    Product Innovation Matrix etc. to find opportunities for them were conducted. Their

    website was also analyzed and feasibility of e-commerce was studied.

    This project provides an insight into basic chemical industry which emphasizes on

    Acetic Anhydride, chemicals which finds usage in varied sectors. It explores various

    chemical manufacturers and distributers which are involved in producing or trading

    Acetic Anhydride. It studies each and every countrys industry where Jubilant Life

    Sciences Ltd can target for end usage. To achieve this objective, primary research

    telephonic survey was employed along with extensive secondary research. The paper

    suggests use of e-commerce after analysis of competitors website and several critical

    changes required in Jubilant life sciences Ltd. website. The paper also suggests

    preferential areas of Europe and segments of industries suitable for target. It also

    studies market of modified starch as well in European markets based on end usage.

    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

    1.1 Purpose o f t he S t udy

    The main objectives and the purpose of the research paper is stated in this

    chapter. The main objectives are as mentioned below:

    To study the complete list of producers/manufacturers of Acetic Anhydride inEurope with their capabilities and complete profile.

    To study breakup of consumption of Acetic Anhydride in term of end sectorusage with special emphasis on modified starch.

    To analyze and prepare a SWOT profile of Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd. To analyse feasibility of e-commerce in chemical industry.

    1 .2 S ign i f i cance o f t he S t udy

    Europe as a continent comprises of 50 countries with largest economy and is

    the richest region as measured by assets under management with over $32.7 trillion

    compared to North America's $27.1 trillion in 2008. The chemicals industry is one of

    the largest European industrial sectors and an important source of direct and indirect

    employment in many regions of the European Union (EU). In 2009, the EU chemical

    industry comprised some 29,000 enterprises that employed around 1.2 million

    employees representing 4% of the total employment in the EU manufacturing sector.

    96% of the companies in the sector are SMEs 61% with less than 9 employees and

    account for 28% of sales and 35% of employment of the sector.

    With a total production value of 449 billion in 2010, the chemical industry's

    contribution to the EU gross domestic product amounted to 1.1% representing about

    7% of the total for the manufacturing sector.

    According to CEFIC, in the 10 year period from 1999 to 2009 the chemical

    industry production experienced an average growth rate of 0.4%, slightly higher than

    the 0.3% average growth rate for total EU manufacturing. The outputs of the EU

    chemicals industry are typically classified in 3 types of industries: basic, specialties

    and Consumer Chemicals. There are many factors which affect the chemical industry

    across the Europe and some of them are as follows:

    Political factors Competition Legal factors Operational Factors Economic FactorsSo likewise there are many factors which affect the European chemical market.

    It analyzes the effect of ongoing European Sovereign Debt crisis. This project

    provides an insight into basic chemical industry which emphasizes on Acetic

    Anhydride, chemicals which finds usage in varied sectors. It aims to study about

    European chemical market and look for opportunities for Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd.

    It explores various chemical manufacturers and distributers which are involved in

    producing or trading Acetic Anhydride. It studies each and every countrys industry

    where Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd can target for end usage. It studies feasibility of e-

    commerce in chemical industry and website as a tool to get competitive advantage.

    1.3 Theoretical Framework

    1.3.1 I ndian Chemical Industry Overview

    The Indian chemicals industry is twelfth largest in the world and third largest

    in Asia in terms of volumes. Chemicals industry contributes nearly 3 percent of

    Indias GDP (USD 42 billion of 1.25 trillion). The Indian chemicals industry has

    evolved from being a basic producer of chemicals to an innovative industry. Chemical

    industry is one of the fastest growing one in the India. It is highly fragmented and

    dispersed multi product and multi-faceted. Chemicals are sold either directly to a

    business consumer or through distribution channels. Western India accounts for

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    majority of production. Indian chemical industry has grown from USD 28 billion in

    FY2003 to USD 42 billion in FY2009. The CAGR for the sector was about 7.5

    percent for the period FY2003-FY2008 before global recession, owing to sub-prime

    crisis hit US and its aftermath on rest of the World, brought down the pace. Indian

    chemical industry witnessed a modest growth of 5 percent in FY2008-09, thanks to

    stimulus package announced by Government of India. If we go by IIP data for the

    period Apr09-Jan10, the Indian chemical industry has bounced back strongly,

    growing at about 10.4 percent during FY2009-10.

    1.3.1.1 M arket Segmentation

    The chemical industry primarily comprises of three segments namely basic

    chemicals, specialty chemicals and knowledge chemicals. Basic chemicals with

    nearly 57 percent share is the largest segment followed by specialty chemicals at 25

    percent, and knowledge chemicals at 18 percent (including USD 7.5 billion

    pharmaceuticals and nearly USD 1 billion agrochemicals) . This break-up has

    remained nearly same for past few years.

    1.3.2 Structure of the European chemicals industry

    The chemicals industry is one of the largest European industrial sectors and an

    important source of direct and indirect employment in many regions of the European

    Union (EU). In 2009, the EU chemical industry comprised some 29,000 enterprises

    that employed around 1.2 million employees representing 4% of the total employmentin the EU manufacturing sector. 96% of the companies in the sector are SMEs 61%

    with less than 9 employees and account for 28% of sales and 35% of employment of

    the sector.

    With a total production value of 449 billion in 2010, the chemical industry'scontribution to the EU gross domestic product amounted to 1.1% representing about

    7% of the total for the manufacturing sector. This is a substantial reduction from the

    684 billion production value in 2007, primarily a result of the financial crisis.

    One of the key features of the chemicals sector is its important contribution to

    all branches of the economy. Around 30% of the combined output of the chemical and

    pharmaceutical industry is sold to end users while the rest is sold as intermediate

    inputs. Raw materials and feedstock are transformed into tailor-made solutions for

    customers in the chemicals industry but also most downstream industries in almost all

    manufacturing sectors, in construction services and in general services. Thus, the EU

    chemicals industry has a key position in the value chain.

    The outputs of the EU chemicals industry are typically classified in five wide

    ranges of products: Petrochemicals, Basic Inorganics, Polymers, Specialties and

    Consumer Chemicals.

    Among the EU countries, Germany is the largest chemicals producer in

    Europe, followed by France, Italy and the United Kingdom.

    European chemicals industry is doing better in innovation driven subsectors

    than in more cost-orientated basic chemicals subsectors where investment in larger

    facilities, access to cheap raw material and energy costs provide a comparative

    advantage to facilities in China, Russia or the Middle East.

    Acetic Anhydride is also one of the crucial chemical which is manufactured in

    European chemical industries due to its application in various industries like

    Chemical industries, Pharmaceuticals industries, Dye & paints industries, Automobile

    industries, Food and food processing industries and Construction industries.

    Modified starch is prepared by physically, enzymatically, or chemically

    treating and modifying native starch (carbohydrate consisting of a large number of

    glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds) found in potato, rice, wheat, corn(maize)

    and cassava thereby changing the properties of the starch. It also called starch

    derivatives. Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd manufactures modified starch by treating with

    Acetic Anhydride, which is called Starch Acetate Esterified with Acetic Anhydride. It

    is prepared by treating starch with acetic acid anhydride to form white or nearly white

    powder, granules, or flakes It is modified to function properly under conditions

    frequently encountered during processing or storage, such as high heat, high shear,

    low pH, freeze/thaw and cooling.

    This area is recently becoming active with margin improvement enhancing the

    profitability in view of multitude of applications and functions in many food and non-

    food segments. Recent growth of global developing economies and the demands of

    processed, convenience foods of populations with rising income and the two income

    families. This has created very attractive opportunities for starch and carbohydrate

    ingredient that are essential as bulking agents and functional nutritional demands of

    food and industrial segments.

    finds its application in used in frozen foods, ice-cream (plus soy ice-

    cream), frozen cakes, dry mixes (cupcakes, muffins, cakes, and self-

    saucing puddings), flavoured toppings and sauces, mayonnaises, snacks

    and muesli bars, tunas, and gravies.

    1.4.3 Mystery Shopping

    It is type of primary data collection used in marketing research to get the

    information anonymously where a researcher pose as a shopper or employs people to

    shop and give details on their experience of purchasing, customer service etc. It can

    be used to monitor the quality of customer service. Reporting is done based on their

    experiences in a detailed and objective way.

    The Market Research Society (MRS) defines mystery shopping as:

    The use of individuals trained to experience and measure any customer service

    process, by acting as potential customers and in some way reporting back on their

    experiences in a detailed and objective way.

    CHAPTER 2REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

    Deloitte (2012) highlighted the robustness of the chemical industry in the

    Netherlands. This research reportfocuses on one of the strongest chemical clusters in

    the world, the interconnected Antwerp-Rotterdam-Rhine-Ruhr Area (ARRRA) which

    responsible for a huge array of products that supply the competitive European

    manufacturing industry for both domestic and export markets. It produces 2% of

    global chemical manufacturer. It focused on the current position of the industry,

    global market trends, future scenarios, and the industrys response. The paper

    recommended clear regulatory framework along with flexibility to use a wide range of

    feedstock. It suggested integration of large and small plants, suppliers, pipelines toinnovate which will be the key to dominate.

    The main factor that came out here is significance of Netherlands Chemical

    Industry.

    Centre for Strategy & Evaluation Services (2012) explored various

    benefits, disadvantages, overall market acceptance, impact of REACH through a

    white paper titled Interim Evaluation: Functioning of the European chemicalmarket

    after the introduction of REACH.

    It suggested various recommendations for successful implementation. It

    enlisted various costs that firm has to incur to comply with REACH which follows as

    1. Human resources dedicated to the various REACH-related activities (concernsall firms);

    2. Costs of pre-registration and registration of chemical substances (concerningprimarily manufacturers and importers of chemicals);

    3. Information exchange activities along the supply chain (applies to all firms inthe supply chain);

    REACH will not hamper chemical industries if implemented in a right way as

    it will protect environment, encourage sustainable growth, innovation and regulate

    competition.

    The main factor that came out here is impact of REACH on European Chemical

    Industry.

    CEFIC (2011) enlisted various fact and figures related European Chemical

    Market through its report titled The European chemical industry in a worldwide

    perspective.The European Chemical Industry Council statistical report has various

    tables, figures and stats that have been used in this report. CEFIC is Conseil Europen

    des Fdrations de l'Industrie Chimique commonly known as European Chemical

    Industry Council. Based in Brussels, it represents European chemical industry and is a

    committed partner to EU policymakers, facilitating dialogue with industry and sharing

    our broad-based expertise. Cefic interacts daily on behalf of its members with

    international and EU institutions, non-governmental organizations, the international

    media and other stakeholders.

    The three distinct groups of members - corporate members, national federation

    members and business members form one of the most active networks of the business

    community, complemented by partnerships with industry associations representing

    various sectors in the value chain.

    The main factor that came out here is various facts and figures about European

    Chemical Industry, which is used in this study.

    Patil (2010), suggested various opportunities for manufacturers of modified

    starch (made from acetic anhydride) through a white paper titled Global Modified

    Starch Products & Carbohydrates Functional Foods Derivatives & Markets A

    Strategic Review

    The paper provided an estimation of global production of Modified Starch

    grow to almost 72 million tons from 68 million tons.

    Current modified Agriculture production economics of China, rest of Asia,

    India and South America is improving at a rapid pace and starch from corn and tubers

    will compete with the US processors. China will be a formidable competitor to US

    and Europe. Demand for starch by food and non-food industries in Asia is likely to

    grow by 4 - 6 percent per year in low and middle income countries in this region.

    Over time, demand for starch by non-food industries will tend to grow faster than

    demand for starch by food industries. Value added modified starch derivatives

    remains very attractive area due to high margins and numerous food and industrial

    applications. Corn with amylase and other enzymes in the grain that can be activated

    to improve processing economics of the way we process carbohydrates or to createnew carbohydrates with novel properties are moving forward. Modified starches are

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    28/80

    16

    utilized in hundreds or even thousands of food, industrial, biofuels, bioplastic

    applications. Unmodified starches have limited usage due to its inherent weakness of

    hydration, swelling and structural organization. To enhance viscosity, texture,

    stability among many desired functional properties desired for many foods and

    industrial applications, starch and their derivatives are modified by chemical, physical

    and biotechnology means. Starch industry has posted a good comeback after recession

    in 2009.

    This report provided current situation, products, markets and future of

    modified starches for foods and industrial sectors. It also provided our insights and

    strategic manufacturing and market positioning perspectives for the manufacturers of

    these products and potential future developments.

    The main factor that came out here is various facts, figures and future of

    Modified Starch.

    KPMG International (2009) examined the challenges faced by European

    chemical market with special emphasizes on its decline due to competition from Asia-

    pacific and recommendations to salvage industry through a white paper titled The

    Future of the European Chemical Industry.

    Chemical industries employ over 1.2 million people and contributed in 2007 to

    a European Union (EU) trade surplus in chemicals of EUR35.4 billion. It presents

    various facts and Figures of how industry declined and lost to competitors in Asia

    Pacific. It analyzes various reasons for its downfall. Observing the current trend, it

    also predicts major chemical manufacturers globally, with only one European

    chemical manufacturer (BASF) in list of 10 companies (Reliance, India is expected as

    3rd

    largest manufacturer), whereas as per sales value in 2008, 5/10 manufacturers areEuropean. It provides various solutions like

    1. Maintain technological superiority by closing down units which are notadvanced in comparison to their counterpart in Asia Pacific, reserve

    intellectual property rights (IPR), increase R&D and embrace sustainable

    development.

    2. Strengthen customer relationships

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    29/80

    17

    3. In order to survive competition, companies can develop joint venturerelationships with Middle East companies to gain cheap feedstock and with

    China to develop local presence.

    4. Evolve from commodities to specialty chemicals.The main factor that came out here is threat to European chemical industry and

    how to tackle them.

    Heinzelbecker (2005) emphasized on the effect of regulatory policy on

    chemical through a white paper titled Futuring in the European Chemical Industry.

    It focused on strength of the CEFIC concept is that it clearly addresses the challenges

    the chemical industry is facing, including the increasing regulatory burden. It even

    quantified the consequences if not enough is done by the authorities and the industry

    itself. While in the UK concerted action between government and industry is

    noticeable, in order to defend and improve the competitiveness of the chemical

    industry, this has still to be achieved at the European level. It appreciated the

    establishment of a Chemical Advisory Networking Group for Europe as right step this

    direction, with the UK concept as the benchmark. It visualizes four scenarios with two

    dimensions i.e. the market situation and activities from politics and industry.

    1. Sunny:A revitalized EU chemical industry with increased innovation andcustomer orientation.

    2. Cloudy: A focused EU chemical industry with strengths in high-end productsand sustainability.

    3. Rain: EU chemical industry without confidence in the attractiveness of theEuropean market.

    4. Storm:A shrinking EU chemical industry not able to beat imports.

    Agarwal (2001) explored the potential of e-commerce in chemical industry

    through a white paper titled E-commerce: New opportunities for the chemical

    industry

    It enlisted two-pronged strategy adopted by the majority of chemical

    companies when they made their debut in the new economy by putting a page on the

    Internet to establish a Web presence. These companies soon realized the potential

    beyond a brochureware site and shifted their focus rapidly to e-commerce. The

    strategy were

    1. Chemical companies have started their own initiatives, mainly in the B2Barea; by using extranet- and Internet-based electronic data interchange (EDI)

    systems for their larger customers and suppliers. The major advantages are

    automated order processing and billing and better customer service. A few

    companies have also built enterprise resources planning (ERP) connections

    between themselves and their biggest customers and suppliers.

    2. They joined a third-party online marketplace like chemnet, worldofchemicalsto gain access to the new markets emerging in chemical sector. A third-party

    marketplace offers dynamic pricing, access to more suppliers and customers,

    and the ability to dispose of excess inventory and exchange information. Now,

    electronic exchanges are shifting their focus to address the supply chain

    inefficiencies among the business partners.

    It will be beneficial for suppliers as they can procure non production items like

    office and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) supplies because current

    ordering processes are cumbersome, and maverick buying is common. Intranet sites

    can be deployed list items, along with company-negotiated discounts, or use thevendors extranet sites customized for the purchasing companies employees. An

    employee needing to order a product can go to the company intranet, order the

    product, enter the department number (or any other form of identification), and

    receive the product.

    It will be beneficial for all types of customers. Depending on the sizes of their

    suppliers and customers, their technological maturities, and the industry environment,

    chemical companies can use extranets, EDI, the Web, e-marketplaces, or a

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    32/80

    20

    combination of them to transact business. It is a cost-effective and fast way to share

    information and data. EDI helps in automating and creating electronic documents that

    are sent over a private network platform.

    Many industrial gas companies use telemetry systems to monitor the liquid

    level of tanks at their customers sites. This information can be displayed in real time

    on the extranet site along with the usage pattern and a reminder to schedule the next

    delivery if the level goes below a predetermined limit. The biggest advantage of an

    extranet site is the single-point contact for all of a customers needs, which helps in

    forming an alliance between the customer and the company. MyAccount@Dow, an

    extranet site for Dow Chemicals customers, provides registered customers withsecure online access to transactions such as account information, order status, repeat

    orders, and payment history, resulting in a one-to-one collaboration.

    Segment 2Wood Preservati ves

    After commercialization of Acetylated wood in 2007 as Accoya, the demand has goneup. They have increased plant production capacity to meet rising demand in 20011.Thus wood preservatives segment presents great opportunity.

    Segment 3

    Chemical I ndustry I nputThis was stable and high due to absence of chemical substitute earlier. However, dueto high manufacturing cost and prices of European manufacturers, the focus hasshifted to China, India and Middle East as importing destination, which offers at low

    prices. The future presents intense competition for basic chemical with rise of Chinaand Middle East. Even, USAs manufacturers have started to manufacture from

    China.Presently Middle East and China are seen as new manufacturing hub of AceticAnhydride and areas where development at cost effective ways are adopted followed

    by India and Iran. Japan, Turkey and South Asia have emerged as new market withhuge potential followed by North America, Eastern Europe and Southern Europe.

    Northern Europe and Western Europe are matured and saturated markets. This isdiagrammatically represented in Regional Market Life Cycle Analysis

    4.9 PESTEL Analysis

    4.9.1 Poli tical F actors

    With increased concern from environmental inspite of implementing REACH

    and European sovereign debt, the political factors are not in favour of chemical

    industry. Presently, chemical industry looks for a balanced chemicals policy,

    incentives for innovation and non-bureaucratic regulations from the political side. The

    Eurozone and European Union are on the edge with idea of disintegration becoming

    dominant. However, stable political conditions with mostly democratic system makes

    it suitable investment destination. With recent Greek election, it will stay in Eurozone

    and will try to recover instead of immediately pulling out as proposed by opposition

    party.

    4.9.2 Economic Factors

    4.9.2.1 European M arket for Acetic Anhydri de

    As per EU Trade Monitor, European demand for Acetic Anhydride is flat to

    declining due to its usage in cigarette. Its use in textile fibers is also slowly declining.

    Smaller applications in wood preservatives, films and coatings are expected to follow

    GDP growth rates in Europe, but these account for less than 20% of demand for

    Acetic Anhydride. Ironically, Cigarette manufacturers reported improved profits

    during H1 2010 compared to the previous year.

    Tecnon OrbiChem has noted the closure of anhydride consuming plants in the

    UK and Italy in recent months, and there is ongoing speculation regarding the future

    of other European consumers as well. Market participants remain concerned about theinflux of imported anhydride derivatives from China. The trend seen is contraction in

    downstream business during the past 12-18 months.

    4.9.2.2 Ef fect of European Sovereign Debt Crisis

    As per CEFIC report, The European chemical trade groups mid-year

    summary forecast of chemicals sector economists predicts a standstill in EU

    chemicals output in 2012, after a relatively weak 1.3 per cent increase in 2011. The

    reason as per CEFIC Director General Hubert Mandery is decline in domestic demand

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    70/80

    58

    as compared 2011 due to increase in austerity measures which dampen business order

    and inventory build-up remains flat. Though theirs is an opportunity as weaker Euro

    will boost exports. The demand for industrial end user usage i.e. Automobile (which

    uses Dyes and various chemicals), Constructions has also dragged chemical industry

    down. Overall, there is a decline in chemical industry.

    4.9.2.3 Ef fect of Competi tion

    European chemical industry faces competition from Middle East and China.

    As per Figure 4.20.1, NAFTA growth has become steady whereas Asia Pacific

    production growth is increasing exponentially.

    Figure 4.20.1 International comparison of chemical production growth (Source -

    CEFIC)

    CEFIC)

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    71/80

    59

    This is further evident from the fact that production of chemical worldwide by

    almost 40% from 1995 to 2005 but 95% of that growth was seen in developing

    countries. In 1997-2007, EU global sales of chemical declined by 2.7% whereas

    world saw increased by 60%. This can be attributed to strong demand in Asian

    markets supports growth in production for domestic chemical companies in that

    region. As a result, it has resulted in significant underutilization of capacity, plant

    shutdowns and margin erosions.

    4.9.3 Social Factors

    Acetic anhydride finds it application in making heroin, a hallucinative drug,

    which is illegal and has an adverse effect of society. It is used cigarette filter, which

    demand is decreasing.

    4.9.4 Technological F actors

    EU operational expenses are increasing, which increases price of chemicals.

    Recently, BP increased the price of Acetic Anhydride due to elevated operating costs,particularly in raw materials and freight. The cost of raw material feedstock is

    significantly higher in Western Europe than in most other regions of the world. Due to

    these feature, Europe is losing to China and Middle East. However, they have

    advanced technology, know-how experience and knowledge, which put them in an

    advantage.

    4.9.5 Environmental Factors

    REACH is implemented in European Union which also termed as World

    Strictest Chemical law. REACH stands for registration, evaluation, authorization,

    and restriction of chemicals. Despite REACH, environmentalist objected to REACH

    due to some loopholes. The environmental laws are not relaxed and impose a cost on

    manufacturers and importers.

    4.9.6 Legal F actors

    The legislation for REACH was proposed under dual reasoning: protection of

    human health and protection of the environment. The Regulation was voted by the

    European Parliament and of the Council on 18 December 2006, and came into force

    on 1 June 2007. It applies to all categories of chemical substances manufactured,

    imported, used as intermediates or placed on the market.

    4.9.6.1 Objectives of REACH

    1. Ensure protection of human health and the envir onmentby the registration and

    testing of all existing and new chemical substances placed in the market and by

    imposing authorization requirements and restrictions to substances that give rise to

    high concern. The system is intended to promote the substitution of hazardous

    chemical substances by less dangerous ones.

  • 8/13/2019 Chetanya Report

    73/80

    61

    2. Main tain and enhance the competi tiveness of the EU chemical industryby

    stimulating innovation and minimizing, to the extent possible, the resource

    implications of the implementation of the Regulation for industry.

    3. Prevent the fragmentation of the in ternal market

    4. I ncrease transparencyby enhancing access to information on chemicals for

    consumers in order to make informed decisions about the substances.

    5. Non-animal testing is encouraged.

    6. Conform to EU international obligations under the WTO ensuring that no

    unnecessary barriers to trade could be created and there would be no discrimination.

    7. Ensure in tegration with in ternational eff orts in view of the global nature of the

    chemicals industry and the trans-boundary impact of certain chemical substances and

    in order to avoid the duplication of test efforts.

    4.9.6.2 Benefits of REACH

    1. Unlocks I nnovation - New substances will require similar testing to that forexisting ones. The new chemicals management system should also generate a

    vast amount of information on the properties of the substances and their uses

    down in the supply chain.

    2. Economicall y Sustainable Chemical I ndustry - REACH was intended toincrease consumer and investor confidence, as well as employee and

    community trust.

    3. Social CostIt benefits environment and public health.4.9.6.3 Disadvantages of REACH

    Termed as world's strictest chemical law, it might put SMEs in disadvantage

    in lon run. Even though there is a discount on ECHA fees for SMEs, those discounts

    are not that helpful when the price of letter of access is excessive. It is seen as barrier

    to trade as it imposes an additional cost that did not exist in the past

    4.9.6.4 Substance I nformation Exchange Forum

    Led by the Lead Registrant, Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF)

    creation is mandatory by legislation. All parties who pre-registered for aceticanhydride are by definition members of the SIEF. Data holders may also choose to

    join the SIEF.

    The SIEF will promote, monitor, and keep its members aware of the following.

    Progress towards registration. Data sharing arrangements amongst potential registrants. Compensation arrangements for data that will be used by others Joint submission.
