Welcome to the latest edition of CIAMatters. This Winter issue highlights a sector showing resilience, clarity and ambition as we look ahead to 2026. We spotlight the launch of Advantage Scotland, our new Scottish Chemical Industry Manifesto, which sets out practical recommendations to strengthen competitiveness, accelerate investment and support the transition to net zero across one of the UK’s most important industrial regions.

Alongside this, we share insights from our latest Economic Report and Business Survey, capturing the experiences of 51 companies as they navigate weaker demand, sustained cost pressures and a challenging trading environment. We also open entries for the 2026 Chemical Industry Awards, celebrating excellence across 12 free‑to‑enter categories, and welcome three new member companies to the CIA community.
