Innovation and the introduction of new products continues to be the primary driver powering sustainable growth in the chemical industry. Innovation intensity (the ratio of a firm’s new product development expense to total revenue) has long been a well-accepted indicator for the future growth of a company. However, a far more powerful gauge to a company’s future operating performance and market valuation is how well the investment dollars are put to use, rather than simply how much is invested.
