Here are some real and often overlooked challenges chemical manufacturers are dealing with :

1. Lack of Market Differentiation - Many chemical products (especially commodity chemicals) look the same to buyers.

2. Skilled Workforce Shortage - It's tough to find trained chemists, lab technicians, or plant managers who understand modern formulations.

3. Sustainability Pressure - Buyers and regulators are pushing for green, biodegradable, or less toxic alternatives.

4. Limited Online Reach - Many chemical manufacturers still don’t have proper digital catalogs or online visibility.

5. IP Protection & Copycat Products - Unique formulas or blends get copied, especially in emerging markets.
