Market trade flow

Globalization as shown increase of world trade driven by emerging markets especially in Asia is a main trend not only in the chemical industry (Laudicina 2004). Besides managing global material flows, companies face new markets with suppliers, customers, but also new competitors from emerging markets. 

There are some key reasons for regulating the flow of chemicals to the market independently of other legislation. One reason is the need for preventive measures early in the supply chain, covering protection of the environment, workers, consumers and property. Preventive measures, such as risk and safety information (labelling and SDS), as well as bans and restrictions on trade with very hazardous chemicals support, simplify and make more cost-efficient risk management for exposure and emission control at later stages (transport, use, waste handling, etc.). 

An important breakthrough in laboratory automation was the introduction of continuous flow analysis by Skeggs in 1957[4]. With this system analytical chemistry was for the first time performed in conduits instead of discrete vessels, which greatly improved the efficiency of serial assays. After being marketed by Technicon under the trade name AutoAnalyzer, the system became the most widely accepted equipment for automated solution analysis before the advent of FIA. Yet the conventional concept of performing... 

The present trend in world trade is best described by the term Globalization . The concept conveys the rise of the global corporate economy, i.e., the interconnection of the national economies with their individual goods and capital flows, caused by the removal of barriers to trade and companies global orientation. This has led to an increased interdependence of production in various countries. Foreign investment is of great importance in order to be represented in important markets.
