A Rise in Sales of Hand Sanitizers will Support the Indian Chemical Industry Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic

Published: Oct 2020

The Indian chemical industry will see a considerable growth of 4.8% during the forecast period. India is anticipated to notice a considerable impact on its chemical industry due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid this ordinance, in March 2020, Tata Chemicals, one of the major chemical manufacturers in the country had ceased its manufacturing operations located in the south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh, and two plants in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Tata chemical manufactures a wide variety of chemicals including sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, chlorine, and sulphuric acid. The coronavirus outbreak has proliferated the demand for hand sanitizer across the country to reduce the infection risk. With this increasing demand, there is a stiff competition among the chemical manufacturers to set up the production facility of isopropyl, a major ingredient used in hand sanitizer.
