COVID-19 Impact on the Global Dangerous -Hazardous Goods Logistics Market

Logistic firms have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Logistic firms witnessed a significant brunt of the pandemic in both domestic and international markets. The supply chain was adversely affected which thereby affected competitiveness and economic growth. The hit on the logistic sector was first witnessed in China, where the pandemic started. However, manufacturing started gaining pace by end of February 2020. For instance, around 70% of the major industries had restarted their operations in the country.

Similar to logistic industry, the global dangerous-hazardous goods logistics market witnessed a substantial dip amid the pandemic. The dangerous goods logistic companies had limited orders during the 2020 owing to slow down of the end-use industries. Decline in oil & gas production and demand for the oil products negatively impacted the dangerous-hazardous goods logistics market growth. Additionally, declining chemical output due to supply chain disruptions and slow growth of various end-use industries, such as electronics, automotive, petrochemical, etc. further affected the industry growth.
