COVID-19 Impact on Salicylamide Market
- The COVID-19 outbreak is hampering the demand for salicylamide in many applications. Governments of various countries across the globe have enforced lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus. This has resulted in slowdown and even halt in manufacturing operations, thus hampering the demand for salicylamide.
- Key players operating in the salicylamide market are primarily tier I and tier II manufacturers and suppliers. Manufacture and supply chain facilities of these players are spread across various countries in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Many of these players halted their production output over the last few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has negatively influenced the demand and supply chain of salicylamide.
- The COVID-19 outbreak has directly affected the production and demand for salicylamide. Industrial shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has created disruption in the supply chain. Disruption in supply of raw materials is projected to hamper full-scale operations of companies operating in the market.
Key Drivers of Salicylamide Market
- Rise in demand for salicylamide in the pharmaceutical industry due to its chemical functionality is a significant factor projected to fuel the global salicylamide market during the forecast period. Demand for salicylamide is high in various applications such as medicines, pests, dyestuff, and rubber ingredients. Furthermore, changing lifestyles and fashion trends as well as people's proclivity for self-grooming are likely to drive the salicylamide market throughout the forecast period.
- Rise in demand for medical supply during the COVID-19 crisis has led to an increase in demand for salicylamide. This trend is estimated to continue in the next few years. This is expected to boost the salicylamide market during the forecast period.
Restraints of Salicylamide Market
- Dearth of universal directives pertaining to application of salicylamide is expected to restrain the market during the forecast period. The key restraining factor of the salicylamide market is its toxicity. Fluctuations in raw material prices and availability of substitutes are also likely to hamper the market.
Asia Pacific to Constitute Significant Share of Global Salicylamide Market
- In terms of region, the global salicylamide market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
