Chemical supply chain integration into cloud era
In recent years, technological advancements have dramatically reshaped the world. From the invention of television in 1925 to the emergence of computers in 1939, integrated circuits in 1958, and fiber optics in 1960, each innovation has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. The internet was born in 1969, followed by mobile phones in 1973, personal computers in 1978, and the World Wide Web in 1991. By 2000, the 3G standard had taken shape, marking a new era of connectivity. From the rise of PCs to the widespread adoption of broadband and mobile networks, it only took over 30 years for online access to become a fundamental part of daily life.
The Internet has brought about major transformations, both in terms of market growth and technological efficiency. By August 2010, global internet devices surpassed 5 billion, and internet users exceeded 2 billion — nearly one-third of the world's population. In that same year, the global B2B e-commerce market reached $26 trillion, with China alone hitting 4.2 trillion yuan. The market maintained a growth rate of over 30%. At the same time, the performance of internet-related technologies improved significantly while costs dropped sharply. Since 1982, CPU performance increased by 3,500 times, memory prices fell by 45,000 times, and hard drive prices dropped by 3.6 million times. Over a decade, network transmission capacity expanded by 1,000 times.
With the arrival of the cloud era, the Internet has ushered in an age of resource integration. Cloud computing connects all available resources, enabling on-demand access to various online services. This modern cloud model differs from traditional information services, offering greater convenience, different service outcomes, and a shift in payment models.
Today, the chemical supply chain faces several challenges. First, globalization is inevitable — we are now competing with suppliers and service providers across the globe. Second, the refinement of production divisions has led to an increase in intermediate transactions, requiring stronger supply chain management and resource coordination. Finally, the Internet has eliminated time and geographical barriers, making international communication faster than ever — a day can feel like 72 hours.
The future of competition will not be between companies, but between supply chains. The supply chain integration platform, a powerful tool emerging from the cloud era, helps address critical issues such as resource shortages, lack of synergy, and difficulty in risk control. Without integration, businesses face inefficiencies, waste, and missed opportunities.
The chemical industry cloud platform delivers value through a combination of virtual and real resources, rather than just sharing information. Manufacturers, buyers, logistics providers, and financial service partners can collaborate to create mutual benefits. The platform enforces strict participant qualifications, ensuring trust and credibility.
Through procurement, distribution outsourcing, logistics solutions, and supply chain finance, the platform reduces total costs for customers and shares the benefits. By aggregating resources and orders, it stabilizes revenue and ensures long-term profitability. Standardized tools enhance efficiency, ultimately leading to a win-win outcome for all involved.
