Impact of COVID-19 on Electrical Insulation Coatings Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the electrical insulation coatings market in 2020. Government-imposed lockdowns disrupted global supply chains affecting the transportation of raw materials and finished goods. This led to a significant decline in production activities across end-use industries like oil & gas, automotive, construction etc. where electrical insulation coatings have extensive applications. The reduction in demand from these sectors weakened market growth. With lowered economic activities and spending on infrastructure development programs, new projects were delayed impacting coating demand. However, as lockdowns ease with vaccination drives, production and projects are restarting slowly restoring market momentum. In future, the electrical insulation coatings market will see steady growth supported by infrastructure development plans of governments worldwide to aid post-pandemic economic recovery.
