As the Trump Administration returns to the White House in January 2025, US policy shifts will transform global manufacturing, trade, and regulations. For suppliers and buyers in the specialty chemical industry, this means reinventing domestic partnerships, adapting to new compliance frameworks, and leveraging AI to stay competitive.

The 2025 SOCMA Show is the first opportunity for chemical manufacturers to connect with toll and custom manufacturing partners, as well as technology and logistics providers. Attendees and visitors have the chance to collaborate on solutions, adapt to industry changes, and position their business for success in this pivotal year.

Anticipated policy changes under the next Trump Administration are driving businesses to re-focus their US growth strategies. These shifts will reshape supply chains and create new opportunities in specialty chemical manufacturing. As global supply chain disruptions impact specialty chemical manufacturers, companies are strengthening regional supply networks. Specialty chemical innovation is advancing rapidly with the use of AI and development of next-gen products.
