Indian Specialty Chemical Firms Enter Battery Market; Honasa Consumer Reports Profit GrowthPreviousNext

The global battery chemicals market is projected to grow from $14 billion to over $115 billion by 2030, driven by electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Indian specialty chemical firms like Sudeep Pharma are entering this sector to capitalize on supply chain shifts away from China. Separately, Honasa Consumer, owner of Mamaearth, has shown revenue and profit growth after initial post-IPO challenges, with a diversified brand portfolio and an asset-light model supporting its recovery and future prospects.
