Consumers and
their behavior
MEGATRENDS | CONSUMER TRENDS
Increase in offers and easy access
BRICS: Impressive growth in consumer market
Consumer interest in products, impacts, . information is key
Brazil – 89%: “recycle is an obligation”
Brazil – 63%: prone to change its habits
to benefit the environment
Brazil – 71%: prone to choose a product considering sustainability impacts

Megatrends in the Chemical Sector
Transparency: Increase in public information about chemicals /
requirements of scientific based data and conclusions;
Safer technologies and “Green components” are an obligation: Direct
Effect on Market Life Cycle of questioned chemicals;
Increase in volunteer restrictions from Consumers and Corporations
New regulations for products of high toxicity and potential for
pollution: Restrictive policies; Supervision; philosophy "polluter pays“;
Preventive labeling: Global systems for classification; higher level of
information on safety and risks;
Global effect analysis are required: Life Cycle Assessment
Efficacy proof are required for specialty chemicals
