Despite Bangladesh’s local chemical market exceeding USD 6 billion, heavy reliance on imports, inadequate and uninterrupted energy supply for industries, higher tariff rates, complex and lengthy licensing procedures and limitations in logistics infrastructure have hindered the expected development of the country’s chemical backward linkage sector. These observations were highlighted by the stakeholders at a seminar on ‘Backward Linkage Development of the Chemical-Dependent Key Export-Oriented Industries: Current State and Issues’ organized by Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) on July 25, 2026 at the DCCI auditorium. Md. Salim Ullah, Director General, Bangladesh Institute of Management (BIM) and Abul Fatah Md. Baligur Rahman, Member (Development), Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) attended the event as Special Guests.
In his welcome address, DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed stated that the export competitiveness of Bangladesh’s RMG, textiles, leather and medical industries depends significantly on a competitive supply chain of chemical items. However, he noted that the country’s manufacturing development continues to be hampered by heavy reliance on imported dyes, chemicals, specialized manufacturing raw materials, along with tariff complexities, lengthy environmental clearance procedures and logistical bottlenecks. He emphasized that developing a thorough roadmap to enhance the chemical backward linkage sector is no longer optional however a strategic necessity to safeguard the future of Bangladesh’s export sector.
Md. Salim Ullah, Director General, Bangladesh Institute of regulation (BIM) mentioned that the government is currently reforming the National manufacturing Policy. He suggested that the private sector should decide whether the research of the chemical backward linkage sector requires a separate policy or whether the necessary reforms should be incorporated as a dedicated chapter in the existing manufacturing policy. He also stressed that the research of backward linkage industries to chemical-dependent key export-oriented sectors is crucial to the advancement of Bangladesh’s industrialization. The BIM Director General called to stronger general and private sector collaboration to develop a skilled workforce to support the country’s overall economic development.
