COVID-19 IMPACT

Plant Shutdowns in Key Industrial Regions Reduced Market Growth 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a disruption in all the industries and markets throughout the world. It forced all the countries to impose lockdowns and social distancing norms. Due to this there was a steep decline in the global economic curve. The yellow and white dextrins industry was not an exception and experienced a huge loss during the pandemic period.

There was a massive disruption in the demand-supply chain and equilibrium across all industries, especially in the chemical industry which brought down the yellow and white dextrins market share. Another major reason was the shutdown of the plants and factories in key production regions such as Asia, North America and Europe in the later quarter of 2020 that reduced the scale of production in the market. The increase in the price of raw materials, non-availability of skilled workers were also some reasons that led to the fall of market share during the pandemic.
