About this sector

Basic Materials follows the application's industry groups rather than treating every supplier of physical materials as one business. A mining company, a chemical producer and a packaging supplier have different products and operations. The sub-sectors help you locate those distinctions before opening a profile.

How to compare projects

Projects follow the categories assigned in the Orbitrum application. This collection supports research and discovery; it is not an investment ranking.
