About wholesale of chemical products

NACE code 46.75 covers the wholesale of a wide range of chemical products, an essential industry that supports numerous other sectors of the economy. As a key link in the supply chain, the wholesale of chemicals plays a vital role in ensuring the availability and distribution of essential raw materials, intermediates, and specialty chemicals required for manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and various other industries.

Production process

The wholesale of chemical products primarily involves the procurement, storage, and distribution of these materials. Wholesalers typically source chemicals from manufacturers, both domestic and international, and maintain inventories to meet the ongoing demands of their customers. They may also provide value-added services, such as repackaging, blending, or customizing chemical products to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the wholesale of chemical products include a diverse range of raw materials, such as organic and inorganic compounds, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and various intermediates. Wholesalers also require storage and transportation infrastructure, including warehouses, tanks, and specialized vehicles, to ensure the safe and efficient handling and distribution of these often hazardous materials.

Production outputs

The outputs of the wholesale of chemical products are the various chemical substances and formulations that are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 20.11 Manufacturing of basic chemicals, 20.12 Manufacture of dyes and pigments, 20.13 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, 20.15 Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, 20.16 Manufacture of plastics in primary forms, and 20.30 Manufacture of paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics, among others.
