SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION FOR A BETTER WORLD

February 19, 2019

The chemicals sector is a vital part of the UK economy and an enabler of a sustainable future
for all. Contributing £17.8bn in GVA in 2016 and directly employing 140,000, it is one of the
largest manufacturing sectors with a turnover of £48.7bn (2016). It is an innovative, vibrant and
competitive sector in which chemistry is harnessed to create the molecules, materials and
feedstock that enable multiple sectors, including automotive, aerospace and medicines; for that
reason, it earns the enviable title as the “industry for industries”. At this challenging yet opportune time, the chemicals sector is particularly well placed to support the innovation that underpins our ambitious plans to make the UK fit for the future as part of our Industrial Strategy.
