Impact of COVID-19 on Global Polypropylene & High-impact Polystyrene Market for Injection Molding
- The outbreak of COVID-19 led to partial or complete shutdown of production facilities that do not come under essential goods, owing to prolonged lockdown in major countries, including the U.S., China, Japan, India, and Germany. It led to either closure or suspension of production activities in most of the industrial units across the globe.
- The COVID-19 pandemic stagnated production activities in various areas, such as consumer goods & electronics, household, packaging, horticulture & agriculture, construction, automotive, and textile making. Supply chain disruptions of raw materials to these industries led to decline in the demand for polypropylene & high-impact polystyrene.
- In addition, the price of crude oil fell significantly due to decrease in demand for oil from various industries, subdued production activities in various industries, and increase in restrictions due to lockdown globally, which further reduced operating rates.
- However, the demand for plastic products from the healthcare and food packaging industries is on the rise again due to the rise in preference for single use healthcare products and packaged food & beverages.
