COVID-19 Impact on Ceramic Fritin Chemical and Materials Industry
INTRODUCTION
In the glass industry, each dealer has predicted the crises that will occur due to the pandemic situations that the COVID-19 is generating globally in the glass market but COVID-19 has the mixed pattern situation for the glass companies in developing countries. At the same time, the demand for ceramic frit that are not used on a more frequent basis has decreased as a result of lock-down and halting of manufacture units in various regions. For the product ranges sold by manufacturers / dealers, the effect of COVID-19 on the glass industry can be seen.

The glass industry plays a vital role in the development of the economy as with the increase in the construction activities in the region or in the country more employment will be generated and which leads to more income generation and which helps to increase in the demand of the products. As Glass involves different materials that are manufactured by several industries so with the increase in the glass industry in the developing nations will increases the revenue generation for several manufactures.
IMPACT ON BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Developed countries such as the U.S. relies on the shipments of 30% of its construction materials such as steel, iron, insulating materials, wood, stones, copper, aluminum from China. Due to the disruptions in the supply chain from one country to another and reductions in imports and exports of goods widely affected the building and construction industry.
The construction companies are taking all the safety measures and provident their employees with the safety kits, hand sanitizers, masks before they initiate their work but this is not enough to stop the spreading of the virus. In various counties where construction activities are essential, restrictions to public transportation detrimentally impact workers' ability to work. Numerous construction companies already implemented the travel bans for the employees originating from high-risk states which will lead to the shortage of labor.
Even in cities and states where construction activities are considered essential, restrictions to public transportation and the closure of schools, child care facilities, and businesses are expected to detrimentally impact workers’ ability to work. Many construction companies, site owners, and contractors are already implementing travel bans for employees or travel restrictions on those workers originating from high-risk states. The progression of some projects will inevitably be impeded by a shortage of skilled labor.
The governments of various countries have halted various business activities to reduce the spread of the novel virus. However, the building and construction activity is halted in the initial days of lockdown only but the government permits most of the construction activities to resume in the second month of lockdown in most of the countries. The health and safety risks of COVID-19 vary from project to project such as consumers who are working outside in an open field and are taking proper safety precaution and are not physically in touch with each other are in a low risk as compare to the consumers who are working in the corporates and offices.
