Uncountable, a US-based software company that develops AI platforms for end-to-end product development, said it has signed four new agreements with speciality chemicals firms to support formulation development, scale-up, and production optimisation. The names of the companies were not disclosed.
“The global speciality chemicals market, valued at approximately $979-bn in 2024, is projected to exceed $1.4 trillion by 2032. At the same time, the chemicals digitalisation market is expected to grow from $14.8-bn in 2023 to more than $60-bn by 2030. Against this backdrop, Uncountable is helping organisations modernise how they capture, structure, and leverage data across the product lifecycle,” the company said in a press note.
The four deals span a broad range of speciality chemicals, including waxes, adhesives, coatings, and bio-based additives.
Mr. Richard Garcia, VP of Sales at Uncountable, said, “Uncountable brings data and workflows into a unified system, making formulation knowledge easy to access and enabling real-time collaboration across teams. With AI-driven insights, teams can spot patterns sooner, make better decisions, and accelerate the delivery of more agile, sustainable solutions to customers worldwide.”
Uncountable said its AI platform is a strong fit for speciality chemicals teams because it is built around structured formulation and experimental data, so teams can standardise how they capture recipes, process parameters, and results, and then reuse that data across projects. The system is capable of handling the most complex formulations, with feature capabilities and built-in subject matter expertise that small molecule, polymer synthesis, formulation, and application teams require for their unique scientific workflows.
Uncountable revealed that one of the deal involved is helping a global distributor of speciality chemicals in modernising R&D operations. The company is replacing fragmented, unstructured data across multiple systems, spreadsheets, and shared drives with a unified data layer and AI engine that makes the data searchable, reusable, and actionable at scale. Another company, a US-based biotechnology firm that develops bio-based additives, selected Uncountable to unify data access, quickly analyse trends, reduce transcription errors, control workflows, and establish organisational transparency.
By connecting inputs and outputs, the platform enables end-to-end visibility from early R&D through pilot and production. This approach supports iterative optimisation across multiple objectives, including performance, cost, ingredient availability, sustainability, and regulatory requirements, while allowing teams to incorporate new data as products scale. As a result, teams can reduce silos, improve collaboration, and achieve faster, more informed decision-making.
“These relationships reflect a broader shift across the speciality chemicals industry toward more connected, data-driven product development,” said Mr. Noel Hollingsworth, co-founder and CEO of Uncountable. “In an industry defined by complex formulations, iterative development, and scale-up challenges, making data accessible and connected across the lifecycle is critical. Our mission is to enable teams to learn faster from every experiment and production run, helping them bring higher-performing, more sustainable products to market with greater speed and confidence.”
