Global Metal & Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Market- Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has led the world into ‘uncharted territory’, which has impacted the global economy drastically. The coronavirus outbreak is expected to have an impact on employment and consumer spending. Customers are expected to spend less on premium & luxury cosmetic products which will lead to decreasing demand for these products. This is expected to decrease the demand for metal & metal oxide nanoparticles from the personal care & cosmetics industry. However, demand from the pharmaceutical industry is expected to remain unaffected during the outbreak. Silver and gold nanoparticles are emerging as effective solutions to a variety of issues related to COVID-19 from disinfection to imaging. According to Coherent Market Insights, metal & metal oxide nanoparticles are expected to grow at a lower CAGR due to reduced demand from the personal care & cosmetics industry.
