China chemical industry will see a considerable growth of 3.3% during the forecast period. The outbreak of the COVID-19 has made the Chinese chemical industry under strain owing to the increased infection rate, city shutdowns, and transportation ceases across the nation. The rubber chemical is among the major components to produce auto tires and other auto parts including hoses, belts, and gaskets. With the cease in production facilities of several automobile manufacturers, there comes a steep fall in the demand of tire in automotive industries, which in turn is anticipated to impact the demand for rubber chemicals across the globe. As the cases increased in China in January, several chemical manufacturing plants such as ABA Chemicals were shut down due to the shortage of raw materials. The uncertainty imitates a similar condition that occurred in 2017 and 2018 when environmental pressures forced the Chinese manufacturers to shutdown numerous plants in China that resulted in short supply and high prices for specialty chemicals such as polymers.
