Eastman Stands Out as a Leader in Specialty Chemicals and Circular Materials
Business Strategy and Outlook
Through acquisitions and internal development, Eastman Chemical owns a solid portfolio of specialty chemicals used in safety glass, window tinting, and specialty plastics, all of which offer a solid long-term growth profile. To expand its specialty portfolio, the firm invests roughly 3% of sales from its additives and functional products and advanced materials segments in research and development, which is in line with its specialty chemical peers. Eastman is well-positioned to meet growing demand for auto window interlayers, including heads-up displays, and specialty plastics.
