Talc Market Scope And Analysis

Talc Market Report Scope

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, business shutdowns, and travel restrictions in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the chemical & materials industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies reported delays in product deliveries and a slump in their product sales in 2020. Due to the pandemic-induced economic recession, consumers became cautious and selective in purchasing decisions. Consumers significantly reduced nonessential purchases due to lower incomes and uncertain earning prospects, especially in developing regions. Many talc manufacturers reported declining profits due to reduced consumer demand during the initial phase of the pandemic. However, by the end of 2021, many countries were fully vaccinated, and governments announced relaxation in certain regulations, including lockdowns and travel bans. There has been a rise in disposable income of the population, due to which the focus on purchasing new furniture and renovation has increased, which boosted the demand for talc. All these factors boost the growth of the talc market across different regions.
