Coronavirus Impact on Grignard Reagents Market
The Grignard reagents find application in various end-use industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals, Flavors & Fragrances, Packaging, and Research. Except for its application in the pharmaceutical industry, Covid-19 has reduced the demand for Grignard reagents across other industry verticals. The lowest demand has been estimated from the flavors & fragrances industries. Low consumer spending on non-essential items is expected to reduce demand for flavors & fragrances. If the pandemic lasts for a medium or long span of time, it may impact supply of active materials and ingredients, mainly from China, as well as import and export of pharmaceuticals. According to Coherent Market Insights, the Grignard reagents market is expected to grow at a slightly lower CAGR between 2020 and 2021.
Competitive Section:
Company Names
Grignard reagents belong to organometallic compounds with standard formula R-Mg-X, in which R is an organic group whereas X belongs to the halogen group. They have a strong negative charge at the carbon atom and thus are highly attracted to the positively charged atoms. This property of the Grignard makes it highly reactive and suitable for various chemical reactions applications. It has extensive use in the pharmaceutical industry for the manufacturing of various drugs.
Market Dynamics
Growing demand for flavor and fragrances from the cosmetic and personal care industry is projected to bolster the growth of the NAFTA and Europe Grignard reagent market. Rising demand for cosmetics products due to the growing sense of fashion and aspire to look good is another major factor is expected to create demand for Grignard reagent for flavor and fragrance. Therefore, the growing demand for cosmetics products in the NAFTA and Europe region will favor the market growth of the Grignard reagent.
Strict rules and regulations on the use of Grignard reagents as it is highly reactive in nature and have various environmental impacts are expected to restrict the growth of the NAFTA and Europe Grignard reagent market.
