Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Liquid Silicone Rubber Market
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted various economies across the world. The governments of various economies announced country-wide lockdowns to restrict the spread of SARS-CoV-2, which directly hampered the growth of the industrial sectors. In Asia Pacific region, various liquid silicone rubber producers continued their operations with low production levels. There was decreased demand from industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics, and consumer goods which has hampered their revenue performances in the region in 2020. Further, China is a leading automotive market in terms of production and consumption. However, a decrease in consumer demand in this country due to job security and income concerns resulted in limited demand for automobiles. This has negatively impacted the demand for liquid silicone rubber from the automotive industry.
The demand for liquid silicone rubber witnessed a significant recovery as various countries restarted their business activities. Many companies in the automotive sector revived their operations in 2021. This resulted in a resurgence in demand for liquid silicone rubber in 2021.Growing demand for liquid silicone rubber from different application fields will offer more opportunities for the liquid silicone rubber market growth in the coming time.
