Impact of COVID-19 on Diethyl Oxalate Market

As of July 2021, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France, the UK, Turkey, and Italy, are some of the worst affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. The COVID-19 is affecting economies and several industries in different countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The shutdown of various manufacturing plants and factories has also been affected the global supply chains also negatively impacted the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of goods in the global market. In addition, the global travel bans further imposed by countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America are also affecting business collaborations as well as partnership opportunities.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the chemicals and materials industry is also facing huge losses, which is further impacting the world economy. It has further disrupted the transportation system and disrupted the supply of raw materials. The disruptive value chain has had a negative impact on the raw material supply, which, in turn, is impacting the growth of the stevia market. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for diethyl oxalate is presumed to rise from the end-use industries. In addition, chemicals and materials-producing companies are also taking some safety measures to fight the coronavirus, which include limiting direct contact with delivery persons & visitors, strengthening & communicating proper hygiene practices, and conducting complete sanitations & eliminating personnel contact during shift changes. With all these factors, it can be presumed that in post-pandemic times, the demand for these products will take a hike.
