Abstract
The chemical industry, a vital part of global industrial growth, is embracing e-commerce to improve efficiency and streamline operations. E-commerce simplifies procurement, enhances transparency, and reduces costs, enabling chemical businesses to reach global markets. Advanced technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) further optimize supply chains and improve logistics. Applications include purchasing lab chemicals, managing pharmaceutical supply chains, and trading specialty and agricultural chemicals. While challenges like regulatory compliance and logistics remain, e-commerce offers significant opportunities for innovation and sustainability. Adopting these digital tools gives companies a competitive edge and fosters a more efficient and transparent industry.
Keywords: Chemical Industry, E-Commerce, Procurement, Supply Chain, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Iot, Innovation, Sustainability.
