Decline in Various End-use Industries to Inflate Market Trajectory


The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in various sectors due to disruptions in supply chains. Halt in manufacturing activities, social distancing, and transportation restrictions in many countries occurred due to lockdown since the spread of COVID-19. According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), the demand has been high after COVID-19. Growth for the product was related with increased demand for sanitizers, disinfectants, and cleaning products. However, the pandemic impacted the market but the manufacturers are returning with their full production operation activities.
