Executive Summary

Global demand for chemical and hazardous material management platforms is rising, as regulatory complexity accelerates across regions. The EU is tightening oversight through the 2026 One Substance, One Assessment (OSOA) framework, while the US is experiencing regulatory fragmentation as states advance per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) bans, amid federal pullbacks. Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) continue to strengthen registration, labelling and exposure standards, with notable reforms in China, Japan, Vietnam and South Africa. Vendors are expanding capabilities through consolidation, broader regulatory content and AI‑enabled workflows. Solutions span three categories: enterprise EHS/ESG platforms; specialist chemical stewardship systems; and targeted point solutions addressing specific compliance and inventory challenges.
