COVID-19 Impact

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, many industries had suffered a tumultuous time, and it was no different for the Metal & Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Market. Many governments across the globe implemented lockdown regulations and factories & production facilities in many sectors came to a halt. The supply chain was greatly disrupted as many businesses followed the lockdown protocols. Many of the end-use industries of the Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles market faced challenges during the pandemic. For example, according to the International Air Transport Association, the demand for passenger air travel fell by 65% from 2019 to 2020 with international travel decreasing by 75.6% since 2019. According to Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the production of passenger vehicles decreased by 16.9% from 2019 to 2020. However, some industries, like the Electronics industry and the Medical and Healthcare industry, saw growth instead. For example, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), the production value of the global electronics and IT industry is projected to have grown by 2% year-on-year in 2020 and is estimated to be USD $2,972.7 billion. As of now, though, many governments have relaxed lockdown procedures as the public is being vaccinated and industries are resuming production. As such, the Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Industry is expected to grow tremendously during the forecast period of 2022-2027.
