Organic chemicals

In 2023, India was the fifth-largest importer of organic chemicals globally, with China, the United States, and Kuwait as its top suppliers. The primary drivers for organic chemical imports are increasing domestic demand, the significant growth of India's manufacturing sector, and limitations in domestic production due to insufficient feedstock. Key imported organic chemical categories include acyclic alcohols, ketones, and esters, which are essential for industries like dyes, perfumes, and fragrances.
