IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The wax markets experienced decelerated growth due to a decline in demand from several industries, as many production sites were either partially or fully closed amid the fight against SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, a huge gap in supply and demand led to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials required for wax production. However, since 2021, the cosmetics and packaging industry has been reviving significantly.
