Covid-19 Analysis
- According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), owing to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the global economy shrunk by 3.0% in 2020. Many countries are under strict lockdowns, which have forced several sectors to shut down their operations. This has halted manufacturing activities and reduced the demand and production of nano silica.
- The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has impacted a large number of countries worldwide. Various preventive measures such as lockdowns, suspension of trade activities, and closure of factories are negatively affecting the nano silica market. However, companies in the market landscape are responding positively to the advisory issued by governments to safeguard the health of workers and employees. One of the major drawbacks of the COVID-19 crisis is the temporary shutdown of manufacturing units, which has directly affected revenue generation activities. Coronavirus pandemic has caused a slowdown in global foreign direct investment (FDI). A major shrink in FDI investments indicate adverse effects on the nano silica market, the energy, chemicals, and electronics industries due to closure of factories.
- However, growing investments for infrastructural developments by governments in emerging economies such as Thailand, India, and China are proving to be the key driving factor for the growth of the market in the region.
