Impact of COVID-19 on the Steel Market: Long-Term Supply Strategy
The global economy is in a state of paralysis as the novel coronavirus impact has forced countries to take extreme measures for the safety of their citizens. The pandemic has exposed weaknesses in global supply chains across industries even as companies continue testing their resilience. SpendEdge, a global leader in procurement and sourcing market intelligence and research, offers coronavirus risk assessment reports on the impact of the pandemic on industries since the outbreak in China in late 2019. Today, we are partnering with customers across sectors to provide on-demand advisory services and market intelligence on the impact of COVID-19.
Materials
Demand for minerals and metals has fallen considerably as buyers hold unused inventories they are unable to move. On a more positive note, governments will soon start taking initiatives to revive their economies with new safety measures in place. Buyers around the world will be closely monitoring the situation to find favorable opportunities for materials procurement.
Manufacturing
The global manufacturing and construction industries are bearing the direct brunt of economic uncertainties, marked by stressed supply chains, massive delays in incoming and outgoing deliveries, and an increase in raw material costs. The exponential rise of COVID-19 cases will result in serious supply bottlenecks, which could lead to a very weak growth scenario for industrial products.
Energy
COVID-19 is making a direct impact on the energy industry, which is facing dampened demand for oil resulting in plummeting oil prices and production cuts across the globe. The next few weeks are crucial for the energy industry demand curve. SpendEdge examines the impact of the novel coronavirus on the global energy and utilities industries and the consequent demand-supply situation.
Freight and Transportation
The freight and transportation industry is seeing lower demand from key buyer industries such as manufacturing and e-commerce. However, effective government intervention may lead to a revival of the transportation sector within a medium-term period. This revival will directly depend on the recovery of key buyer industries such as manufacturing, e-commerce, and construction.
Information and Communication Technology
The global pandemic has adversely impacted shipments across ICT verticals, with most vendors forecasting a 5% to 30% impact on their yearly shipments. The software and services sector has seen reduced demand as buyers put their spending on hold. Communication services are also affected by the global lockdown and shortage of on-premises workers.
