Covid-19 Outbreak Severely Impacted the GCC Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market
The Covid-19 pandemic severely affected almost all industries where the GCC Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market was no exception. The market underwent new challenges owing to the imposition of lockdown & stringent movement restrictions. These limitations led to a massive labor shortage and an indefinite delay in various Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects culminating in needs for drilling & excavation services.
The market also faced massive financial losses due to the cancellation or postponing of operations. Moreover, the temporary halt on the transportation & logistics sector, coupled with supply chain disruptions, resulted in inventory shortages and hampered chemical sales. Furthermore, the sudden price drop of oil put more pressure on the specialty oilfield chemical sectors.
