Slower growth, consolidation of consumer markets, product standardisation, shorter product life cycles, shale gas, potential digital disruption - these are just some of the challenges facing the global chemical industry. By serving almost every sector of the global economy, the chemical industry is exceptionally complex even in "normal" times.
Today, the challenges are great, but the opportunities are far greater. Over the last three years, WPSC Analysis has identified chemical companies that have shown returns on capital from well below zero to above 15% and growth from well below zero to above 40% per year. So clearly there is plenty of room for significant value creation if you really understand the strategic value drivers and how best to execute.
At WPSC, we help chemical companies, private equity firms and industry associations with all aspects of increasing shareholder value - from strategic alignment to performance improvement. Our international chemicals team works on over one hundred projects in the chemical industry each year. We have industry expertise in petrochemicals, polymers and the various speciality sectors, as well as in agrochemicals, fertilisers and biologics.
The telecommunications, media and technology (TMT) industry is leading the digital world, delivering innovative technologies and developing new digital services across industries.
New models around IoT, cloud computing, robotics, data analytics, learning machines, cognitive computing, 3D printing, smart devices and high-speed networks have already become a reality. Some claim that the internet is hurting traditional TMT players, but that is only half the truth. While old business is being broken, new business and growth areas are emerging. At WPSC, we help smart TMT managers turn the crisis into an opportunity.

It is more important than ever to develop premium services and tailor-made products that fit both the customer's lifestyle and the company's processes and organisational models. We show you the way.
The supply of energy is a central basis for the economic development of countries, companies and all of us as individuals. Accordingly, the scope of the energy industry is broad: from the provision of fossil fuels to the generation of electricity in conventional or renewable power plants to the operation of grids for the distribution of electricity, gas and heat. But the business of energy is currently undergoing a global transformation of unprecedented proportions, influenced by factors such as climate protection and decarbonisation, the circular economy, growing markets for battery storage and hydrogen, low capital costs and digitalisation - and all of this, moreover, under the influence of the COVID 19 pandemic.
To meet these multiple challenges, industry players need the support of experts who can look at the big picture and develop insights and advice that take into account strategic, practical and business aspects. This is exactly what WPSC's Energy & Utilities team specialises in.
