Impact of COVID-19 on the industrial adhesives market

• Manufacturing as well as supply regions or countries witnessed economic slowdown, owing to the lockdown implemented across several countries. The downstream section of the value chain, which is the end-use industry, has witnessed less demand. This impacted the growth of the industrial adhesives market. 
• For instance, the automotive sector has been witnessing slowdown, owing to decreased automobile sales that resulted in decreased demand for raw materials. Therefore, this factor consequently impacted the demand for industrial adhesives.
