Electronic Materials and Chemicals Market Challenges
Stringent Health Regulations
Stringent health regulations towards electronic materials and chemicals may hamper the market growth. According to the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration (OSHA), employers must protect workers from crystalline silica in the US. Silica alloy can cause serious lung disease and lung cancer. High exposure to silica can cause of illness with headache, fever, chills, aches, chest tightness and cough. Silica alloy exposure has been linked to other illnesses including renal disease and other cancers. Thus, the harmful effects of silica may hamper the market growth.
Impact of COVID-19
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the electronic materials and chemicals market owing to restriction imposed by government related to import and export. United States are the world’s largest market for consumer electronic products. But Due to COVID 19 U.S. total exports of electronic products fell by $4.1 billion (1.5 percent) to $273.0?billion in 2019, according to United States International Trade Commission (USITC). This has resulted in shrinkage of electronic sector, thereby creating downward trend in the growth of the electronic materials and chemicals market.
