Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ketones Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected various industries in terms of sales and operations owing to many factors such as extended lockdowns across different regions, restrictions imposed on international trades, shutdown of manufacturing units, bans on travel, disintegration in supply chain, and shortage in the supply of raw materials. The food & beverages and chemical industry are among the significant sectors that suffered from severe disruptions, such as supply chain restriction and production plants shutdown, because of the COVID-19 outbreak. The shutdown of various plants and factories in leading regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific has hindered the global supply chain, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and various products sales. All these factors affected the both the chemical and food & beverage industries in a negative manner. Ketones are often utilized as solvents, chemical intermediates, and as catalyst in the chemical industry. They also have great demand from paints & coating, adhesives, printing inks, and similar industries. Also, these are utilized in the electroplating industry as cold-cleaning solvents, vapor degreasing solvents, and laboratory chemicals. Ketones are also used in the production of dietary supplements, protein shakes & powders, and pharmaceuticals. Disruptions in terms of sourcing of raw materials from suppliers and temporarily closures of manufacturing bases due to indefinite lockdowns and temporary quarantines have restrained the growth of the market during the pandemic. However, the pandemic has generated the need for healthy living among the consumers. Therefore, the consumers have shifted their attention toward personal health and nutritional diet. Thus, the demand for weight-management products and ketone supplements surged during the pandemic, directly driving the ketones market. Sales have been slow in the first quarter of 2020, as many stores have closed. However, businesses are gaining ground as previously imposed limitations are being eased across various locations. Moreover, the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines by governments of different countries has further eased out the situation leading to rise in business activities across the world. The food & beverage processing industries are recovering their losses by opening their production units and starting the operations with half of the capacities. These factors are expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
