COVID-19 Analysis:
COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments, and infrastructure companies. The novel coronavirus has affected several economies and caused lockdown in many countries, which has limited the growth of the market. The shutdown of industrial manufacturers led to the decline in demand for industrial gases in most of the countries globally, which led to decline in the demand of the industrial gases market. The decrease in utilization of industrial gases in the industrial facilities across the globe during the outbreak has a negative impact on the development of the market.
Post COVID-19 outbreak, the gradual recovery of the production of various industries due to vaccination policies across the globe has led to increase in the demand for industrial gases. Furthermore, the increase in the demand for oil & gas industry products has led to increase in the demand for hydrogen gas which is used in the refineries. Furthermore, the increase in the space based activities and privatization of space exploration in major developed and developing countries have led to increase in the demand for industrial gases which are used in the aerospace sector.
