As a manufacturer of fine and lab chemicals, company must have expertise in chemical synthesis and purification techniques to produce high-quality chemicals that meet the specific requirements of their customers. They must also have a strong focus on safety and environmental compliance, ensuring that their manufacturing processes do not pose any risks to their employees, customers, or the environment.
Unlike the manufacture of bulk chemicals, fine chemicals are hard to manufacture because they require specialised knowledge. Their chemistry also changes often thus there are always new developments that lead to a change in raw materials and even the processes required for their manufacture.

Due to their changing chemistry there are so many varieties in the market. This aspect also means that the manufacturing firms that produce them need to always be flexible. The changes in the chemistry are precipitated by the release of new drugs into the market whose formulation has changed.

Production of fine chemicals leads to release of high amounts of waste. This means that the manufacturing companies not only incur costs in manufacturing but also in waste disposal. This increases production cost.

Costs associated with training and getting the right people to manufacture the chemicals.

Government compliance regulations in regard to their manufacture.

Investments in safety protocols since most of the chemicals are produced from inflammable solvents.
