COVID-19 Impact-
The production of China’s industrial firms fell by 14% in the first two months of 2020, according to statistics provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of China in 2020. The chemical industry was one of the most hit, with a 21% drop in output and a 66% drop in profit. In addition, growing limitations and issues with logistics, a paucity of staff and labor resources, and a lack of personal protective equipment all substantially influenced the production process. Continuing to produce some important feedstock chemicals for pharmaceutical uses, on the other hand, was a good move taken throughout the epidemic.
