Stars
High‑performance polymers (PA12 & 3D printing)
Evonik’s PA12 and adjacent high‑performance polymers sit squarely in fast‑growing 3D printing and e‑mobility niches, with PA12 widely specified for SLS and functional EV components, driving strong share and low churn via specification lock‑in. Applications are scaling but still need heavy application development and go‑to‑market support to reach commercial run rates. Continued investment can compound into a dominant, cash‑rich platform.
Silica for EV/green tires
Silica solutions that cut rolling resistance ride the EV and sustainability surge, with EVs accounting for about 14% of global passenger car sales in 2024 (IEA). Evonik’s advanced silica tech and strong customer stickiness translate into a high share in the growing green-tire segment and close OEM partnerships. It soaks up capex and technical service to meet OEM specs but is worth the spend, retaining leader status and expanding as EV mix rises.
Specialty additives for lightweight composites & battery systems
Additives that enable lighter, tougher composite parts and safer Li-ion batteries are high-growth winners in new vehicle and energy platforms; Evonik reported double-digit growth in specialty additives in 2024, reflecting strong OEM demand. Customers prioritize performance over price, supporting premium-margin positions. Long sales cycles mean technical selling and pilot lines are decisive. Invest now to cement positions before standards and supplier lists harden.
Premium personal care actives & delivery systems
Skin and hair brands keep trading up to performance actives and clean-label systems, with the global active ingredients market rising about 5% in 2024 and innovation-led premium segments outperforming mass categories. Evonik carries credibility and breadth across actives and delivery systems, with sticky formulations driving repeat wins and strong account retention. Keep launching hero ingredients and back key accounts hard to defend share and margin.
- Market growth ~5% (2024)
- Evonik: broad active/delivery portfolio
- Sticky formulations = repeat sales
- Strategy: launch heroes + support key accounts
Biotech‑enabled animal nutrition solutions
Biotech‑enabled animal nutrition is a Star: higher‑efficiency, lower‑footprint feed solutions scale with protein demand and tightening regulation; the global feed additives market was about USD 34.2bn in 2024 with a ~4.6% CAGR to 2030, and Evonik's animal nutrition exceeded €1.3bn in sales (2023), showing meaningful share as the category expands. Differentiation is know‑how and data, not tonnage; double down on trials, digital advisory and quantified sustainability proof points to protect growth.
- Market: USD 34.2bn (2024), CAGR ~4.6% to 2030
- Evonik: animal nutrition >€1.3bn sales (2023)
- Value driver: data/know‑how > commodity tonnage
- Actions: scale trials, digital advisory, measurable sustainability KPIs
Specialty tailwinds: double‑digit additives growth, EVs ~14% of sales, animal nutrition >€1.3bn
Evonik’s Stars—PA12/high‑performance polymers, advanced silica, specialty additives, premium skin actives and biotech animal nutrition—hold high share in fast‑growing niches (3D printing, EVs, green tires, premium care, feed). 2024 signals: double‑digit specialty additives growth, animal nutrition >€1.3bn (2023), EVs ~14% of car sales (IEA 2024). Continued capex and technical selling needed to scale to cash generation.

One-page Evonik BCG Matrix highlighting pain points and fast actions to refocus portfolio, export-ready for slides.
Cash Cows
Methionine (core animal nutrition)
Methionine (core animal nutrition) is a high-share, massive-scale cash cow for Evonik, with the company holding roughly 30% of the global DL-methionine market and annual MetAMINO sales contributing a significant single-digit share of group revenues in 2024. Pricing swings occur, but vertical integration and production efficiency cushion margins and free cash flow. Capex needs remain lower than for growth segments; prioritize harvesting cash, protecting cost leadership, and avoiding overbuilding.
Coating additives (TEGO‑type portfolio)
Evonik TEGO‑type coating additives act as workhorse products entrenched with architectural and industrial customers, driving repeat volume despite a slow market growing at a low single-digit CAGR (≈2–3% in mature coatings segments in 2024). Strict specification and qualification protect volumes, while disciplined SKU management sustains solid margins; focus on service-level maintenance and higher asset utilization can extract additional EBITDA from the portfolio.
Oral care & standard precipitated silica
Toothpaste and general-purpose precipitated silica are mature, high-share franchises with stable volumes and low single-digit CAGR; global toothpaste market ~USD 29bn and precipitated silica market ~USD 5bn in 2024. Innovation is incremental and switching costs favor incumbents, yielding mid-teens margins and strong cash conversion with modest capex. Operational focus: uptime, yields, price and packaging management.
Crosslinkers and curing agents for coatings/adhesives
Crosslinkers and curing agents for epoxy, PU and related systems provide Evonik with steady, recurring orders; the global coatings market was about USD 190 billion in 2024, anchoring demand to construction and industrial cycles rather than step changes. Product know-how sustains respectable margins and pricing power. Strategy: hold share, optimize product mix and pursue targeted automation to lower COGS.
- Position: established across epoxy and PU
- Demand drivers: tied to construction/industrial cycles
- Margins: respectable due to technical know-how
- Action: hold share, optimize mix, automate processes
Hydrogen peroxide & peroxides (selected grades)
Hydrogen peroxide and selected peroxides act as cash cows: commodity-leaning but efficient plants and logistics generate steady cash; 2024 market growth remained low while differentiation rests on quality, supply reliability and application support; capex discipline is key—keep costs tight and prioritize long‑term contracts.
- Role: steady cash generation
- Edge: quality + supply reliability
- Priority: strict capex control
- Action: lock long‑term contracts
Methionine ~30%; coatings, toothpaste/silica, peroxides = steady cash
Methionine: ~30% global DL‑methionine share; MetAMINO = significant single‑digit % of group 2024 revenues. TEGO coatings: low single‑digit CAGR (~2–3%); entrenched volumes. Toothpaste/silica: global markets ~USD29bn and ~USD5bn (2024); stable mid‑teens margins. Peroxides/crosslinkers: steady cash, low growth; prioritize capex discipline and long‑term contracts.
| Product | 2024 Market | Evonik Position | Margin/Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methionine | — | ~30% share | High cash, low capex |
| TEGO | Coatings ~$190bn | Established | Stable volumes |
| Toothpaste/Silica | USD29bn / USD5bn | High share | Mid‑teens margins |
| Peroxides/Crosslinkers | — | Reliable | Capex discipline |
