Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Dolomite Market

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemical and materials sector and negatively impacted the growth of the dolomite mining market. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has aggravated the situation. Industries such as construction, and iron and steel have been impacted by the sudden distortion in operational efficiencies and disruptions in the value chains attributable to the sudden shutdown of national and international boundaries. A significant decline in the growth of the several industrial sectors has led to reduced demand for dolomite. The shutdown of mining operations has created a hampered annual production performance. The long-term effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the mining industry will depend upon the length of lockdown periods and the ability of the industry players to resurge. As many countries are planning to revive their operations, the demand for dolomite is expected to rise globally in the coming months. The dolomite mining market players are focusing on the availability of supplies and manpower to achieve full operational levels.
