Successful M&A transactions in the chemical industry require an in-depth understanding of the target market, customers and product pricing mechanisms. The underlying dynamics of the market, including interactions and substitutions between different types of chemicals, need to be assessed at an early stage. Market potential and deal-breakers should be identified and factors such as  customer relationships and pricing mechanisms should be thoroughly understood in order to adequately price the target and win the deal.

• Pricing and cyclicality in the Chemical Industry
