Market Restraint

Declining Sales & Profits to Hamper Companies’ Investment Plans amid COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had grave implications for the global chemicals industry, which are hurting the calcium formate market growth. Lockdowns, social distancing, and trade restrictions have caused massive disruptions in supply chain networks, while severe economic downturn has impacted demand and consumption. As a result, companies in this market are reporting unprecedented loss of revenue, which in turn has forced them to rethink their investment plans. For instance, in August 2020, the Germany-based specialty chemicals company, Lanxess, sold off its organic leather chemicals business for USD 230 million to TFL Ledertechnik GmbH to reduce its dependence on the automotive industry. With the automotive industry facing an unparalleled demand crunch amid COVID-19, Lanxess’s divesture from the leather business seems prudent. In another example, Sweden-based Perstop AB reported a staggering drop of 32% in its net sales, amounting to SEK 2.08 billion in July 2020, as the company took drastic measures to tackle COVID-19. These adverse developments are likely to stall the adoption of calcium methanoate during the current year.
