Remote And Hybrid Work In The Chemicals Industry Statistics

Hybrid work is pushing chemical teams into video-first meetings with 86% of organizations using video conferencing, while collaboration software is set to expand sharply to a projected $120.0 billion enterprise market by 2030. The page connects that shift to security and compliance pressure, from SASE and endpoint defenses to the reality that 82% of organizations flagged ransomware as a top threat, plus how REACH and GDPR risks collide with a more distributed workforce.
