21. 21 Glocalization is the process by which global businesses are getting closer to their customers across regions and applications. Think Global, Act Local! Outlook Glocalization: Could be the Emerging Mega Trend for the Next Decade = GLOBALIZATION + LOCALIZATION Irrespective of business model or area of focus, companies will increasingly attempt to get closer to their customers. This could mean: Glocalization is the emerging trend to watch out for Physical proximity Consumer focus: Chemical companies are not just looking at their customer, but at their customers customers. The current focus on megatrends is just the beginning Delve downstream: Going further down the value chain Customized solutions: Increasing consolidation in the end user industries could result in tremendous bargaining power and customized products / services Product portfolio differentiation: Global companies will increasingly look towards opportunities in product development / application development that are specific to a particular region / geography

26. 26 Key Market Opportunities to 2020 Growth Opportunities in Construction and Utilities GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES: CONSTRUCTION AND UTILITIES WATER TREATMENT The scarcity of water and with large geographic areas facing drought and desertification challenges, this is a critical area for investment Significant opportunities in Israel, Singapore, Japan, Australia and Middle East in sectors such as water separation technology, chemicals and desalination WIND POWER The Chinese wind power sector is witnessing rapid growth. In 2008 the installed capacity was 12,210MW in China, a y-o-y growth of 106.7%. This presents significant opportunities for structural adhesives and composite materials. Other regions that are attractive for wind power are: India and the US INSULATION SYSTEMS Exterior Insulation and Finishing Systems (EIFS) is a type of synthetic wall cladding for exterior walls and provides an insulated finished surface and waterproofing. External wall insulation using this can achieve 30-40% energy savings. EIFS is a key application for dry mix mortars and redispersible powders COMPOSITE MATERIALS Low cost carbon and glass fiber for building and industrial applications including construction panels in building and power infrastructure have high growth potential Increasingly, non corrosive composite materials are being used in metal and wood replacement GREEN MATERIALS The demand for bio based adhesives and green coatings (low or no VOC) are expanding globally. Technologies emerging in the green building industry in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia include smart windows, vacuum windows and door panes, PV materials, LED lighting and recycled materials OTHERS Next generation solar systems, ocean thermal technology, algae cells for electricity generation and tidal and wave energy applications also represent opportunities in the near future. These areas are attractive significant funding from government and private sectors alike
