Chemicals and pharmaceuticals
Availability of facilities and site remediation
The pharmaceutical sector, which is the second largest market in the world and is driven primarily by China, is experiencing spectacular growth. Its turnover is expected to reach $1,500 billion by 2021. The chemical sector is also very dynamic; in 2015, it was the second biggest exporting sector in France, and achieved the fourth biggest trade surplus in industry. With an investment budget of €3 billion, it contributes considerably to industrial development.
Chemical and pharmaceutical companies are facing numerous challenges: due to growing demand, they must build new infrastructure to ensure the continued availability of industrial plant, while converting or remediating older facilities. The impact of their activities is also a key issue for them. They must strive to operate in an environmentally responsible manner, particularly by recovering their waste.
