CIA Matters Q3 2026
Welcome to the latest edition of CIAMatters. This issue reflects a sector navigating continued uncertainty while maintaining a clear focus on resilience, competitiveness and long-term growth. Across policy, energy and regulation, the challenges facing UK chemical businesses remain significant, particularly as the sector looks ahead to the Autumn Budget and the implementation of the Government’s Industrial Strategy.
In this edition, we explore the CIA’s latest policy priorities, including energy reform, industrial competitiveness, chemicals regulation and sustainability. We also share insights from our latest Economic Report and Business Survey, highlighting the pressures of rising costs, global uncertainty and a challenging trading environment.
Alongside this, you’ll find updates on key regulatory developments, including UK REACH, PFAS and wider chemicals management, as well as coverage of our ongoing advocacy work to ensure the industry’s voice is heard at the heart of Government.
