The global COVID-19 crisis has redefined the pace of growth in various wax-consuming end industries. While growth in some industries such as packaging and personal care/hygiene accelerated during the pandemic, others such as PVC, paints, and coatings slowed. The current period may prove to be the starting point for a rapid decline in Group I basestock production with similar results for petroleum wax. This report analyzes post-COVID-19 market trends and establishes a new market map for the wax industry, assessing whether the supply in other wax categories will grow to close the gap.
