IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE WASTE OIL MARKET

COVID-19 pandemic resulted in complete shutdown of manufacturing facilities, which do not come under essential goods, due to continued lockdown in almost all over the world. It negatively influenced the global economy in all commercial and industrial sectors. China, US, India, UK are the major countries which are the major driver of waste oils resulted in slower demand for waste oils in 2020 and 2021.

Furthermore, halt in construction of new electric utility infrastructures, automotive, and other industrial plants, due to lack of workers and increase in demand–supply gaps, hampered the waste oil market growth in the pandemic period. Thus, all these factors collectively resulted in sluggish growth of the global waste oil industry. However, all activities have resumed normally and COVID cases have started gradually declining in 2021 due to the vaccination drive, which led to increased operations of various industries across the globe. Moreover, the global supply chain has significantly recovered.
