The US Census Bureau’s Manufacturing and International Trade
Report provides the value of chemical products produced and shipped by all producers. (Click here to find the 2016 report. Products are listed by their NAICS codes with
most of the chemical products covered by codes 324, 325, and 326.)
Shipping value data on chemical products in the report was
used to produce my following table:

For each NAISC “broad” chemical category, for example those
shown in the table, I believe the category represents a distinct product category
that businesses would choose to specialize in.
Only general categories, where the 2016 shipment value exceeded $5
billion, are shown. In other words,
these are chemical product areas that companies would look to specialize in and
gain market share; and could be characterized by that specialization. For each category, I have provided in the
table companies that likely have influential pricing power. Companies were selected based on the amount
of their 2017 revenues and on having at least a reportable segment (or at least
a major part of a reportable segment) producing the product category.
The table might be useful if one is interested in identifying
a company in a product category that has influential pricing power. Influential pricing power can be considered
as a company positive, likely indicating successful operations and finances.
