COVID Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected various industries worldwide. Governments across the world implemented strict lockdown measures and social distancing norms in order to restrict the swift spread of the pandemic. Manufacturing facilities around the world were shut down during the initial stages of the pandemic. Moreover, the economic crisis after the pandemic might lead to a significant delay in the commercial roll-out of the Automotive Specialty Coatings Market. Small and medium-scale companies are the backbone of technology providers and are witnessing a steep drop in revenue since the emergence of the pandemic in 2020. Hence, market players faced numerous challenges as disruptions in the supply chain were observed. However, things will improve in the second half of 2022 as more supplies will come online.

Recent Developments:

August 2018: Ferrari presented their new low-temperature system, which makes the Prancing Horse the world’s first producer to adopt low Cure clear coats technology. This new paint technique lowers the energy cost and improves sustainability as it has developed a clear coat which makes it likely for the car to bake at 100 degrees rather than 150 degrees.
