Impact Of Covid-19 On The Retro-reflective Material Market

• According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), during the lockdown, price war began in crude oil prices due to extensive supply and less demand. However, this factor shows that due to extensive production of oil, there is sluggish impact on bromine derivatives market.
• The International Energy Agency projects that oil & gas revenues for a number of key producers fell between 50% and 85% in 2020, compared to 2019, yet the losses could be larger depending on future market developments. With overall calculation of oil & gas demand, the oil & gas industry witnessed significant decline, thereby impacting the bromine derivatives market, which is completely dependent on the oil & gas industry. 
• Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using bromine derivatives and thereby affected the bromine derivatives market.  
• According to the UNIDO, 30.0–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as construction and mills, migrated back to their hometowns due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in demand for raw materials used in bromine derivatives. This is expected to decline the growth of the market during the forecast period. 
• The automotive industry garners a major share in terms of consumption of bromine derivatives globally. The automotive industry has been negatively impacted amid the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and recorded decline in vehicle on road (passenger & commercial) in 2020. This has further declined the bromine derivatives demand due to disrupted supply chain, which, in turn, hampered the bromine derivatives market.
• The construction industry acquired a significant share in terms of consumption of bromine derivatives globally. Attributed to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the construction of various large projects was halted amid lockdown. As a result, the demand for bromine derivatives declined, which led to the downfall of the global bromine derivatives market.

Analyst Review

The bromine market has registered a dynamic growth over the past few years, owing to drastic growth in industries, such as construction, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas, and chemical developing countries such as India, China, Japan, and others. In addition, bromine derivatives have major application in the anti-epileptic drug due to seizure properties. Moreover, bromine derivatives are mainly used in biocides application, which is extensively used in coatings & dyes, cosmetics, glues & sealers, cleaning materials, and wood & paper. Furthermore, bromine derivatives are also used in rechargeable batteries, which are extensively used in electric vehicle; however, the rising electric car industry acts as the major driving factor for the market. In addition, stringent environmental regulations might enhance the demand for electric cars, which boosts the bromine derivatives market. Lower carbon emission regulations, such as P2 law (by U.S. EPA), Air act 1981 and Environment Act 1986 (by Indian government), are anticipated to reduce the pollution, which will increase the demand for electric cars and could create wide opportunities for the market.

Increase in oil & gas production activities and dependency on plastic products are expected to witness growth in emerging economies, which, in turn, boost the demand for bromine derivatives. Moreover, factors contributing toward the bromine derivatives market are increasing demand for flame retardants, reverse osmosis, and others. Furthermore, production of some bromine derivatives is banned in some countries due to stricter regulations regarding bromine-based flame retardants in developed regions, such as the U.S. and Europe, which may act as the major restraining factor for the market.
