What will AGI do for Formulation Margin Squeeze?
Formulation scientists and procurement teams in process manufacturing face shrinking profit margins as the cost of raw ingredients fluctuates against fixed retail price points. When a specific surfactant, binder, or active ingredient spikes in price, teams must swap components to preserve unit economics. Because chemical interactions are highly interdependent, a single substitution often alters a product's viscosity, shelf-life, or safety profile.
