Global M&A trends in energy, utilities and resources: 2025 outlook
Transformative shifts in geopolitics, energy security priorities and market dynamics will drive M&A in the energy, utilities and resources sectors in 2025.
To manage environmental impacts, improve energy efficiency, contribute to circular business models, and meet rising demand, the chemicals sector is turning to smarter solutions. Cleaner production processes, advanced recycling technologies, and a shift toward bio-based and renewable materials are transforming the way chemicals are made and used. By embracing innovation and prioritizing sustainability, the chemicals sector can reduce its carbon footprint while delivering the high-quality products that people and businesses rely on.
As the sector continues to evolve, collaboration and innovation will be crucial. These factors will help companies adapt to changing market conditions and deliver value to their stakeholders.

With more data insights into supply chains, customers and end consumers, chemical companies have the opportunity to better understand the sustainability of their operations and decarbonise their business models by innovation. They can also use analytics to improve decision making around the value – both financial and non-financial – that they create for stakeholders and partners downstream.
Data analysis of customers and supply chains will also help companies identify sustainability trends and preferences across industries. This opens the door to opportunities to respond to market needs by innovating new, more sustainable processes and materials.
Innovation is needed for a sustainable world. The EU expects to reach net zero by 2050 and aims to halve emissions over the next decade. This trend places stringent demands on the energy-intensive chemicals industry, which accounts for a large share of global emissions and also relies on hydrocarbons for raw materials
