KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Decline in The Value of The Chemical Industry Decreased the Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic hit all the markets and industries across the world. The chemical industry was highly affected due to the deadly disease. Due to lockdown many strict restrictions and norms were imposed because of which the raw materials necessary for the production of high purity chemicals were not easily available.

This product consists of many semiconductors, chemicals and other complicated acids. These chemicals were not easily available and there was also a shortage of skilled workers.  There was a disruption in the supply chain of the raw materials. The production had also stopped during the pandemic bringing down the high purity wet chemicals market share. All these factors affected the chemical industry which directly had a negative impact on the market growth. However, post the pandemic the market saw a substantial growth and is anticipated to grow in the future years.
