The paints and coatings industry continues to evolve, driven by innovation and sustainability. As environmental concerns grow and technological advancements accelerate, manufacturers are rethinking everything from raw materials to application methods to recycling and reuse. From sustainable materials to integration of groundbreaking digital and AI/ML technologies, the sector is evolving rapidly to meet the environmental, regulatory and consumer demands.

Deal sizes in the rapidly changing and growing field of Materials Informatics can range from $50,000 for small projects to over $1 million for large-scale enterprise collaborations. Factors like industry type, project scope, client size, and technology maturity all play crucial roles in determining the final deal value. Whether it's a focused R&D initiative or a multi-year strategic partnership, Materials Informatics companies are increasingly pivotal in driving innovation and competitiveness across various sectors. 

Integration of Materials Informatics into the chemical industry is not just a strategic advantage but a necessary evolution towards sustainability and innovation. By adopting MI, companies can accelerate their R&D processes, reduce costs, and meet the increasing demand for sustainable products. As the industry progresses towards a climate-neutral future, those who leverage the power of Materials Informatics will be at the forefront of this transformation, driving both economic growth and environmental stewardship.

The trajectory of materials discovery and innovation is undergoing a seismic shift, propelled by the inexorable march of AI, ML, and Data Science. The onus lies on the business leaders and decision-makers, to embrace this paradigm shift, harness the transformative potential of Materials Informatics, and chart a course for their companies towards a future defined by ingenuity, efficiency, and unparalleled competitiveness.

Our client a fortune 500 Japanese group made tremendous progress in developing its Materials Informatics tool/platform for the Chemicals & Materials (C&M) industry. To ensure the product’s market viability, Client sought additional support from JEVVRS to validate its business value hypothesis and to secure R&D partnerships in Europe.

Our client sought an in-depth understanding of high-performance polymers, focusing on Polycarbonates, Cyanate Ester Resins (CER), and Sulfone Polymers: Polysulfone (PSU), Polyethersulfone (PESU), Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). They required comprehensive market insights to make strategic decisions and to enhance their offerings.

Milling is a key stage in the paints & coatings production process. P&C companies quite often place more emphasis on getting the product out to customers, inadvertently putting pressure on the process. If certain parallel and targeted improvement initiatives are taken, efficiency in milling stage can be significantly improved with a positive impact on operational and financial performance.
