Indian Chemical News, an online news media covering chemical and petrochemical sector is organizing an e-Conference to discuss and brainstorm on the growth prospects of the Indian chemical industry post COVID-19.
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the resultant lockdown has disrupted the global supply chain and manufacturing of the chemicals. Manufacturers are facing supply chain interruptions and global travel restrictions in addition to quarantined workforce. Majority of companies have either reduced production in the country or temporarily shut down their plants. SME's engaged in the manufacturing of chemicals are being hit hard as the industry braces for a decline in volume in the next fiscal year (2020-21). On the positive side, demand for products used in the manufacturing of sanitizing products, personal protection, and health care remained upbeat and the production of fertilizers was not impacted.
While the industry is chalking out the strategy to face the challenges posed by the COVID-19, it also offers an opportunity to develop a long term strategy to sort out the issues of the industry.
The e-Conference session, while discuss the survival and way forward for the industry, will also focus what should be the way for a sustainable Indian chemical industry to make the sector more resilient.
