We provide comprehensive new business consulting services that combine deep chemical industry expertise with proprietary AI tools and proven methodologies, supporting your organization through every phase from theme exploration to sustainable growth achievement.
Strategic Imperatives Driving New Business Development in the Chemical Industry
Chemical companies cannot rely on incremental improvements alone. Market forces demand fundamental business model innovation that creates new value propositions and revenue streams across the industry.
Sustainability Transition and Demand for Environmental Solutions
Regulatory frameworks and carbon neutrality commitments create both compliance obligations and commercial opportunities for chemical companies. Sustainable materials development has evolved from niche specialty to mainstream market demand as customers across industries actively seek bio-based alternatives and products with reduced environmental footprints. Environmental solutions extend beyond product substitution to encompass circular economy business models that fundamentally reimagine value chains.
Theme exploration for sustainability-focused new business demands systematic assessment of regulatory trajectories, customer willingness to pay for environmental attributes, and technical feasibility. Our AI-powered research tools enable comprehensive analysis of thousands of sustainability trends and customer requirements, identifying the most promising opportunities for your organization. Developing robust business plans for environmental solutions requires careful attention to evolving regulations, certification requirements, and customer validation processes while establishing clear paths to profitability.
Market Saturation in Traditional Segments and the Need for Application Co-Creation
Commoditization pressures in conventional chemical markets erode margins and limit growth potential for companies competing primarily on specifications and price. Application co-creation business models represent strategic responses to these dynamics, shifting value capture from commodity material sales to higher-margin technical services and joint innovation initiatives. Functional material development within application co-creation frameworks requires deep understanding of customer processes, performance requirements, and economic constraints.
Proof of concept initiatives play critical roles in application co-creation business development. Before committing significant resources to new application segments, chemical companies must validate technical feasibility, customer value creation, and commercial viability through structured pilots. Crossing the chasm from initial PoC success to mainstream market adoption represents a common failure point that demands systematic customer development strategies and go-to-market planning.
Technology Convergence and Data-Driven Business Model Innovation
Digital transformation enables entirely new business models for chemical companies beyond operational efficiency improvements. Chemical companies possess valuable process knowledge and performance data that downstream customers would pay to access through data provision business models. Subscription models provide recurring revenue streams that improve business predictability and customer lifetime value compared to transactional product sales.
Theme exploration for data-driven business models requires assessment of what proprietary data your organization possesses and what customer problems this data could address. Developing PoC initiatives for these ventures involves software development, data integration, and user experience design distinct from traditional chemical product development. The organizational changes required for subscription and data provision business extend beyond technology to encompass sales compensation, customer success functions, and financial reporting systems.

What should we prepare before the initial consultation
It is helpful to gather existing documents such as internal memos, prior research, cost estimates, and any early customer feedback. Even incomplete notes provide valuable context. Clarifying internal objectives, constraints, and success criteria for the prospective new business also allows our first conversation to focus on what matters most to you.
How do you adapt your approach to different corporate cultures
Every organization has its own decision style, communication habits, and risk tolerance. At the start we spend time listening to how employees explain their daily work and past projects. Based on this, we adjust tools, meeting formats, and pace so the consulting style feels supportive rather than disruptive, while still encouraging thoughtful change.
Can you assist with pricing and value communication to customers
Yes, we work with technical and commercial teams to translate performance data into customer value, considering cost savings, efficiency, and risk reduction. This understanding supports pricing decisions and preparation of materials that explain value clearly, helping sales and account managers hold more confident and constructive conversations.
Do you also advise internal consulting or new business offices
Some clients have a central department responsible for coordinating new business or acting almost as an internal consulting business. We support these teams in structuring their own consulting practice standards, project selection criteria, and templates, so they can serve internal stakeholders more consistently while balancing diverse interests.
How do you think about fair compensation such as higher fees
In some highly complex or urgent situations, specialist support and compressed schedules may require higher fees. When this arises, we explain the reasons openly, relating them to project complexity, risk, and required senior involvement. Our aim is that fee structures and money flows feel understandable and proportionate to the value expected.
What role do communication tools like email campaigns play
For many chemical businesses, large‑scale advertising is less relevant, but careful internal and B2B communication still matters. In some cases we help design focused email campaigns or informational updates for select potential clients, partners, or internal stakeholders, always aligned with relationship‑driven sales and technical trust building.
