With the outbreak of COVID-19, the industry witnessed gradual but consistent development. The pandemic had an impact on certain significant drivers of PAG lubricant consumption. Restrictions on commercial activity and travel and border closures reduced energy demand in transportation and resulted in the cancellation or suspension of investment choices for major and small-scale renewable energy development projects. In addition, due to manufacturing shutdowns, demand for PAG-based lubricants for industrial applications decreased. However, with the resumption of business operations, declining COVID-19 cases, and growing environmental consciousness, the overall industry is forecast to record substantial gains in the future.
