The Chemical Daily is Japanese leading chemical-industry newspaper. In 2021, we celebrated 85 years of effectively providing the chemical community with the relevant news and information necessary to push ahead with business growth. With a strong daily readership, The Chemical Daily is one of the longest established and most valued sources of chemical-industry information in Japan and Asia.
For many years, we have played a key role as a high-quality opinion leader and, in the months and years ahead, we intend to answer the increasingly diversified and sophisticated needs of our readers and continue to provide accurate, in-depth information on life sciences, electronics and other high-tech fields, as well as chemical operations; Asian and world news, keeping in pace with the era of globalization; and reports on the environmental sector, which calls for a global response.
In particular, against the backdrop of heightening interest in environmental issues on a global scale, our Environment page showcases timely information on the activities of industry, government and academia, as well as the latest R&D developments. Moreover, we have strengthened our overseas reporting framework while at the same time fostering cooperation with leading overseas media to reflect live local information on our pages. In addition, we provide accurate and dependable market price information, and price listings for a wide variety of chemical products.

Publications
The scope of The Chemical Daily Co., Ltd. is not restricted to newspaper publication. To enable rapid response to the changing needs of our readers and to current issues such as global environmental concerns, we have extended our resource network to encompass companies, the government and academic conferences, and we continue to publish chemical-industry-related specialized books and educational volumes with the goal of providing information that is universally useful.  

Kagaku Shohin (Chemical Products Handbook)
This handbook covers the characteristics, methods of production, uses, manufacturers, prices and legal regulations of chemical products, which have become more and more diversified in recent years.

Workshops & Networking
At seminars and symposiums, we invite specialists, government officials and academic experts from within Japan and overseas to lecture on the hottest topics such as management issues, environmental regulations, and safety controls for chemical substances.
We also hold exhibitions as venues for direct interaction between participants along with the exchange of products and information, thereby opening the door to business opportunities.

Since the year following its founding in 1936, The Chemical Daily Co., Ltd. headquartered in Tokyo, has been publishing Kagaku Kogyo Nippo, The Chemical Daily, a trade newspaper comprehensively covering the chemical industry, from basic chemicals to specialty chemicals. It recently extended its reach to chemical-related fields such as electronic materials, automotive materials and water treatment, all of which are Japanese fortes and regarded as cutting-edge industries to take us into the next generation. Subscribers include chemical companies, financial/insurance companies and trading houses, as well as government departments.

We established overseas branches in Singapore in 2000 and Shanghai in 2005 to expand our news coverage of emerging chemical industries in Asian countries. In addition, we have been sending our reporters to the US and EU on a regular basis every year to improve the flow of information to our readers.

In 1960 we inaugurated Japan Chemical Week, an English-language weekly newspaper as a sister publication of The Chemical Daily, distributing it worldwide besides Japan. It was the only English-language periodical published in Japan that was dedicated to the provision of news on the chemical industry.
