Paraben preservatives in agrochemicals products protect crops by inhibiting microbe development, lowering moisture content, raising acidity, inhibiting natural ripening, and serving as an antioxidant.
COVID-19 Analysis:
The COVID-19 pandemic had moderate impact on the parabens industry. It also had an influence on the import and export of chemicals, such as parabens. During the pandemic, the purchase and consumption of cosmetics & personal care products sales decreased and thereby negatively impacted the parabens market, as the cosmetics & personal care industry is the major end-user of parabens.
However, the demand for parabens as food preservatives has grown during the pandemic due to its antibacterial properties. The antioxidant capacities of food preservatives are required by the food industry to extend product shelf life and prevent hazardous microbial activity. The rising demand for convenience and processed food incorporating antioxidant capabilities is propelling manufacturers to use food preservatives, such as parabens to enhance the shelf life of food products.
