Vital Chemtech Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

The Management s views on the Company s Performance and outlook are discussed below:

GLOBAL ECONOMY:

Global growth is projected at 3.3 percent both in 2025 and 2026, below the historical (2000 19) average of 3.7 percent. The forecast for 2025 is broadly unchanged from that in the October 2024 World Economic Outlook (WEO), primarily on account of an upward revision in the United States o setting downward revisions in other major economies. Global headline in ation is expected to decline to 4.2 percent in 2025 and to 3.5 percent in 2026, converging back to target earlier in advanced economies than in emerging market and developing economies. Growth is projected to be at 2.7 percent in 2025. This is 0.5 percentage point higher than the October forecast, in part reflecting carryover from 2024 as well as robust labour markets and accelerating investment, among other signs of strength. Growth is expected to taper to potential in 2026.

INDIAN ECONOMY:

India is currently ranked as the 4th largest economy globally in 2025 , surpassing Japan to secure the 4th position among the worlds top 10 largest economies, with a nominal GDP of $4.19 trillion in 2025 . Moreover, the IMF forecasts that by 2027, India will overtake Germany to become the 3rd largest economy worldwide

India has maintained a strong economic performance despite global challenges and geopolitical concerns. This resilience can be attributed to robust domestic demand, a pickup in rural demand, strong investment levels, and sustained momentum in manufacturing. Despite global challenges, India stands out for its robust economic growth, demonstrating broad-based expansion across various sectors and rea rming its pivotal role in supporting global economic growth.

India s economy continues to grow at a steady and con dent pace, standing out as the fastest growing major economy in the world. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of size and health of the economy. It is the total value of all the goods and services produced within a country. In 2024 25, real GDP growth was estimated at 6.5 per cent. The Reserve Bank of India expects the same rate to continue in 2025 26. This performance comes at a time when the global economy faces uncertainty, making India s steady momentum all the more significant.

India s growth story continues to draw global attention, backed by strong fundamentals and consistent performance. Real GDP, which measures the economy s output after removing the effects of in ation, expanded by 6.5 per cent in 2024 25. The Reserve Bank of India expects this pace to continue into 2025 26. Other projections echo this optimism, with the United Nations forecasting growth of 6.3 per cent this year and 6.4 per cent next year, while the Confederation of Indian Industry places its estimate slightly higher at 6.40 to 6.70 per cent.

India s economic performance over the past year reflects not just growth, but a deeper sense of stability and direction. With real GDP rising at 6.5 per cent and in ation easing to its lowest in years, the country has shown that it can balance expansion with price stability. At the same time, strong participation in capital markets, record levels of exports, and healthy foreign exchange reserves point to growing con dence both at home and abroad. Key sectors such as manufacturing, services, and infrastructure are pushing ahead, supported by steady investment and policy focus. External risks remain, but India s fundamentals are sound. As the global economy continues to face challenges, India s consistent performance offers reassurance that it is well placed to lead from the front and keep building a stronger, more inclusive future.

GLOBAL CHEMICAL MARKET:

The chemical industry has made moderate progress in 2024, increasing year-over-year production above 2023 levels, and it is estimated that production levels will continue to rise as the destocking cycle wanes and demand rises across most products. However, to further support revenue growth, chemical companies have announced cost-reduction plans and begun to increase margins, while continuing to invest in decarbonization and innovation. In 2025, we expect the industry to continue its recovery, adjusting to new market drivers while balancing short- and long-term goals. The Global chemical industry size was valued at USD 6,182 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 6,324 billion by 2025. growing at 2.3% CAGR from 2024 to 2025.

Global chemical growth moderated in 2022 due to lockdowns in China, supply chain bottlenecks, and disruptions caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a result, global chemical output grew by only 2.0% in 2022. In 2023, production is expected to expand at 2.9% amid rebound in Western Europe and the Asia-Paci c. The industry is focussing on meeting the growing global demand and enhancing sustainability through carbon reduction projects and advanced recycling and recovery. The biggest risk to the outlook is persistent in ation and continued increase in interest rates that could prolong and deepen the downturn, but other risks may include escalation of wars, financial instability, and supply chain disruptions.

The US chemical industry had a strong start in 2022, with output growing by 3.9%. However, in 2023, this growth is expected to marginally decline due to deceleration in end-use markets, a stronger dollar, and lower global growth. Many manufacturers have increased inventories of raw materials and products due to supply chain issues, which resulted in higher-than-normal inventories at the end of the year. US chemicals remain advantaged due to abundant domestic production of natural gas. Capital spending grew 9.0% to US$ 33.5 billion in 2022 and is expected grow at 3.6% in 2023.

After declining by 3.2% in 2022, chemical production in Western Europe is expected to marginally grow at 0.8% in 2023. This is mainly due to an uncertain energy price outlook and depressed economic growth outlook. However, the silver lining is that natural gas prices have dropped to their pre-war levels and are expected to remain below the 2022 levels.

INDIAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY:
