COVID-19 Analysis
- The novel coronavirus is an incomparable global pandemic that has spread to over 180 countries and caused huge losses of lives and the economy around the globe. The methacrylate monomers market has been negatively impacted due to the wake of COVID-19 pandemic owing to its dependence on building & construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and other sectors. According to a report published by Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), sale of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and two‐wheeler vehicles has been declined by 51%, 88%, and 40% respectively in March 2020. Also, several automotive companies have either shutdown or shrank their operations due to the risk of infections among the workforce where methacrylate monomers is used to produce extruded acrylic sheets used in electronic consoles, tail-lights, and others. This has temporarily hampered the demand for methacrylate monomers market amid the COVID-19 pandemic. According to an article published by The Economic Times, the exports of electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and others have dipped due to supply chain issues. In addition, the methacrylate monomers market has witnessed a downfall in demand among the construction sectors, owing to temporary halt on various building and construction project amid the COVID-19 period.
- In 2020, methacrylate monomers prices were high in Asia-Pacific region. The price rise was due to continued regional demand trends and tight product availability. Firm downstream demand for methacrylate monomers and stronger upstream costs are expected to sustain the price gain.
- However, the healthcare sectors have shown an impressive growth during the pandemic, where polymerized methacrylate monomers are used in dentistry and orthopedic surgery. For instance, according to a report published by India Brand Equity Foundation, the healthcare sectors is expected to reach $372 billion by 2022, driven by rise in health awareness and increase in income. Furthermore, the building & construction and transportation activities are projected to get back on track and start functioning with full capacity post COVID-19 period, which in turn may enhance the performance of the methacrylate monomers market.
