Ltd., Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.A., LafargeHolcim Ltd., HeidelbergCement AG, Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited, CRH plc, Votorantim S.A, Cemex SAB de CV, Guardian Industries LLC, and Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the mineral products market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Manufacturers depend heavily on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. The outbreak has hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the mineral products market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
