Increasing demand from multiple end-user industries
Specialty Chemicals have a wide application in different sectors. High demand for specialty chemicals for water treatment, including water softening, demineralization plant, multigrade filter, reverse osmosis, and fireside treatment, require Micro Biocides, pH Reducers, Bio Dispersant, Corrosion cum Scale Inhibitor, Antiscalant, and Antifoulant which propels the Specialty Chemicals Market.
Also, the increasing demand from the sugar industry for Antiscalant and viscosity reducers, as well as in the distillery industry for confessors and defoamers, which in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the UAE Specialty Chemicals Market.

The widespread application of Specialty Chemicals in paints and coatings, food and beverage, automotive and transport, alternative energy, adhesives, cleaning agents, polymers, and agrichemicals leads to the huge demand for specialty chemicals. Farmers' growing awareness of the use of agrochemicals on their farms is expected to fuel the market's expansion. The agricultural land has been degraded and reduced because of increased industrialization and urbanization, but food demand is rising at the same rate. This spurs an increase in the production of crops per acre of land, driving up the demand for agrochemicals and accelerating the growth of the Specialty Chemical Market during the forecast period.
