New capacity, soft demand and regional energy differences are pushing commodity chemicals toward prolonged margin pressure.
Strategic challenges
Can autonomous operations scale beyond isolated high-performing plants?
The challenge is integrating intelligent systems across ageing assets, fragmented data and manufacturing networks with uneven maturity.
Can health systems expand access without simply adding more clinical labor?
