Before the challenges that face the industry can be reasonably discussed, the industry itself must be defined. Specific statistics that give adequate comparisons on sales, pounds, and total value of synthetic organic chemicals sold are not easy to determine, and it becomes necessary to define the industry by a process of elimination.
