COVID-19 Impact on Liquid Polybutadiene (LPBD) Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the liquid polybutadiene (LPBD) market. The virus's obnoxious spread is forcing production and manufacturing units to reduce their output levels. Also due to the temporary and permanent lockdown, some of them have ceased operations. However, some of them have been forced to close their services due to a lack of cash flow and raw materials, both of which are critical to the market's operation. Furthermore, meeting market demand is becoming increasingly difficult, so the target audience is looking for alternatives. The lockdown has forced people to reduce their use of vehicles, and those who had planned to do so are deferring their plans as the second wave hits the countries in a much worse way. Additionally, there is a growing emergence and volatility in commodity prices such as crude oil and other raw materials. This presents market barriers that are being removed by adopting new uses of the market's key players through its functions.

On the brighter side, the government is developing schemes, key research options, and strategies in collaboration with the market's emerging players. Furthermore, the emphasis is on the development of marketing strategies and product lines that will assist markets in recovering from losses and resuming operations in a profitable manner.
