Broad incumbents

• Lanxess AG: German specialty chemical major with a large chromium chemicals portfolio (sodium dichromate, chromic acid). Comparable to Changyuan in chromium salts and electroplating/metal-finishing customers, but operates a far broader chemical portfolio globally.
• Arkema SA: French specialty chemicals major with industrial oxidizer and inorganic chemical offerings. Comparable as a broad-line chemicals supplier serving water treatment, coatings, and electronics customers with diversified chemistries.
• Elementis plc: UK-listed specialty chemicals producer with a chromium-based specialties business serving coatings, personal care, and industrial markets. Overlaps with Changyuan's chromium salt and electroplating-grade offerings.
• Merck KGaA: German science and specialty chemicals group supplying high-purity inorganic and specialty chemicals (including chromium and manganese compounds) to electronics, pharma, and lab customers globally - the same premium end-markets Chongqing Changyuan targets.
• Clariant AG: Swiss specialty chemicals company producing inorganic and specialty intermediates for industrial, water, and consumer-care customers. Comparable as a diversified specialty chemicals incumbent with overlapping industrial application reach.

Direct peers

• Shandong Baomo Chemical Co., Ltd. Chinese permanganate salt manufacturer specializing in KMnO4 for water treatment, disinfection, and chemical processing; directly competes with Chongqing Changyuan on grade, application, and export geographies.
