Anticipated Impact of the COVID-19 Outbreak
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted supply chains of businesses all over the world, including the packaging industry. Discontinuation of production across multiple end-use industries in some of the worst affected countries such as the United States have stalled the sales of continuous inkjet inks. Logistical disruptions in the wake of nationwide lockdowns have generated shortages of essential raw materials such as paper, plastic sheets, paperboards, etc. further inhibiting market growth.
Many European countries, for instance, depend on China for sourcing their raw materials for printing and chemicals used in inks. Since China is the epicenter of the pandemic, all production facilities have ceased to operate, leading to shortages in supply.
However, several countries have relaxed restrictions imposed during the lockdown, enabling inkjet ink suppliers to resume their operations. This is because the demand for pharmaceuticals and foods is spiking, leading to increased demand for packaging and labelling to ensure product traceability during logistics. Additionally, market players have been attempting to secure their supply chains by ensuring mandatory social distancing protocols amongst employees engaged in the manufacturing process.
