Global Metal & Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has led the world in the ‘uncharted territory’, which has impacted global economy drastically. The coronavirus outbreak is expected to have impact on employment and consumer spending. Customers are expected to spend less on premium & luxury cosmetic products which will lead decreasing demand for these products. This is expected to decrease the demand for metal & metal oxide nanoparticles from personal care & cosmetics industry. However, demand from pharmaceutical industry is expected to be remain unaffected during the outbreak. Silver and gold nanoparticles are emerging as effective solutions to a variety of issues related to COVID-19 from disinfection to imaging. According to Coherent Market Insights, metal & metal oxide nanoparticles is expected to grow at a lower CAGR due to reduced demand from personal care & cosmetics industry.
