Global Glutathione Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain that resulted in lack of goods for consumers and raw materials for all major industries. COVID-19 has changed the consumer buying pattern, and have made consumer conservative, and thus, leading to decline in their spending for non-essentials products. Nationwide lockdown and social distancing measures implemented by leading countries such as India, the U.K., Italy, Spain, Russia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia has negatively impacted demand for fragrances and color cosmetics in these countries.
