The chemical industry is where many of the important products in our everyday lives are made.
Some companies produce bulk (sometimes called commodity) chemicals on a huge scale
Other industries make fine chemicals. These tend to be made on a smaller scale and the chemicals are higher cost.

People with a degree in chemistry work across all these different industries. To find out more about the chemical industry, see some articles below:
