Step 1

Decide if Chemical Manufacturing is the right industry to target

The Chemical Manufacturing industry

The Chemical Manufacturing industry covers a vast range of businesses involved in transforming raw materials into various chemical products through chemical processes. This encompasses the production of basic chemicals, as well as intermediate and finished products derived from further processing of these chemicals.

What businesses are included

Chemical Manufacturing includes diverse sub-sectors like agricultural chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides), artificial rubber and synthetic fibers, paints, coatings, adhesives, personal care products (cosmetics, toiletries), pharmaceuticals, and soaps and cleaning products. Interestingly, even companies producing industrial gases, such as oxygen or nitrogen, fall under this broad category.

When targeting the Chemical Manufacturing industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.

Which businesses are not included

While chemical processes are involved, Chemical Manufacturing excludes industries like petroleum refining or primary metal production, even though they involve chemical transformations. These activities fall under separate classifications. For instance, a company extracting oil and refining it into gasoline wouldn't be considered part of the Chemical Manufacturing industry.
