Chemifolio's offerings target manufacturers seeking environmentally responsible alternatives in their production processes, with a client base spanning regions committed to green chemistry and sustainable practices, such as Europe and North America. Chemifolio generates revenue through direct B2B transactions with manufacturers in need of sustainable materials. The sales structure typically involves bulk orders of their flagship products, such as bio-epoxy resins and bio-polyols, which are purchased by industrial clients for use in diverse applications. Pricing plans for these products are structured around volume discounts, allowing clients to benefit from lower unit costs with larger purchases.

The company engages in strategic partnerships with distributors and wholesalers, facilitating wider market reach and accessibility for their eco-friendly solutions. This transactional framework emphasizes Chemifolio's commitment to providing innovative, sustainable alternatives while establishing a reliable revenue stream from established customers in the industrial sector. Chemifolio plans to utilize the recent funding of KRW 2 billion raised in November 2021 to expand its product line and enhance research and development efforts for products applicable in various methods and industries. The company is looking to design and launch new eco-friendly products, with an emphasis on reaching new markets, particularly in Europe and North America, by 2023.

This strategic growth initiative aims to reinforce Chemifolio's position in the sustainable materials market.
