Due to the rise in the number of fire accidents at residential, public places, and workplaces, the number of deaths and damage to assets is also increasing. In view of this, end-users are increasingly adopting safety measures to protect people and property. Governmental agencies are also making rules regarding the addition of fire-resistant coatings in buildings to reduce these fire accidents.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted North American and European countries. As a preventive measure, construction and industrial activities have been suspended. Several construction projects across the globe have been suspended, which has resulted in a decline in demand for fire-resistant coatings. Also, the disruption in the supply chain has been a major issue faced by the paints and coatings industry, which is expected to lead to a rise in the price of raw materials and other products.
