This, she said, will help generate nearly 300 crore person-days in total. For industries, she said the minimum threshold to initiate insolvency proceedings will be raised to Rs 1 crore from Rs 1 lakh, which largely insulates micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from bankruptcy on defaulting on loans. Also, a special insolvency resolution framework for MSMEs under Section 240A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will be notified soon, she said adding that fresh initiation of insolvency proceedings will be suspended up to one year depending upon the pandemic situation. Coronavirus-related debt will be excluded from the definition of "default" under the IBC for the purpose of triggering insolvency proceedings, she said adding that the changes will be effected by promulgating an ordinance. Additionally, minor technical and procedural defaults under the Companies Act such as shortcomings in CSR reporting, inadequacies in board report, filing defaults, and delay in holding AGM will be decriminalised. Last week, the government pledged a Rs 20 lakh crore (nearly 10 per cent of gross domestic product) package to support the economy headed for its first full-year contraction in more than four decades.

Calcium Formate Market   Report by Technology, Industry Share and Size Expansion to 2026 | Fortune Business Insights™

The global ''calcium formate'' market is projected to reach USD 628.5 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. Increasing cement production is likely to emerge as a central growth driver for this market, finds Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Calcium Formate Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Feed Grade, Industrial Grade), By Application (Feed, Construction, Leather, Chemical, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027”. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that 4.1Gt of cement was produced worldwide in 2019, with China accounting for nearly 55% of the global production, followed by India at 8%. By 2030, according to the World Cement Association, China’s production is forecasted to contract to 35%, while India’s is set to double to 16%. These changing dynamics augur well for this market as calcium formate is an essential component in cement manufacturing. This compound acts as a setting accelerator for cement, working as an additive to boost the strength of the cement mortar. Thus, rising demand for cement, especially in developing economies, will provide the necessary fuel for the growth of the market for calcium formate. 

The report states that the global market value stood at USD 469.4 million in 2019 and also offers the following:

Microscopic analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the     market;

Granular study of the factors and trends shaping the market;

Detailed evaluation of the regional dynamics influencing the     market; and

Comprehensive profiling of and in-depth research into the key     market players and their strategies.

Market Restraint

Declining Sales & Profits to Hamper Companies’ Investment Plans amid COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had grave implications for the global chemicals industry, which are hurting the calcium formate market growth. Lockdowns, social distancing, and trade restrictions have caused massive disruptions in supply chain networks, while a severe economic downturn has impacted demand and consumption.

As a result, companies in this market are reporting an unprecedented loss of revenue, which in turn has forced them to rethink their investment plans. For instance, in August 2020, the Germany-based specialty chemicals company, Lanxess, sold off its organic leather chemicals business for USD 230 million to TFL Ledertechnik GmbH to reduce its dependence on the automotive industry. With the automotive industry facing an unparalleled demand crunch amid COVID-19, Lanxess’s divesture from the leather business seems prudent. In another example, Sweden-based Perstop AB reported a staggering drop of 32% in its net sales, amounting to SEK 2.08 billion in July 2020, as the company took drastic measures to tackle COVID-19. These adverse developments are likely to stall the adoption of calcium methanoate during the current year.

Regional Insights

Surging Construction Activities to Power the Market in Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific, with a market size of USD 251.4 million in 2019, is anticipated to dominate the calcium formate market share during the forecast period. The main reason attributable for the prolific market growth in the region is the rapid expansion of building and construction activities in India and China. For example, the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) predicts that India will emerge as the third-largest construction industry by 2025.

List of the Leading Companies Profiled in the Global Calcium Formate Market are:

Chongqing Chuandong Chemical (Group) Co., Ltd. (China)

Jiangxi Kosin Organic Chemical (China)

Zibo Ruibao Chemical Co., Ltd. (China)

GEO Specialty Chemicals (USA)

Perstorp (Sweden)

Sidley Chemical Co., Ltd. (China)

Shandong Baoyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. (China)

Henan Botai Chemical Building Materials Company Ltd. (China)

American Elements (USA)

LANXESS (Germany)

Competitive Landscape

Steady Expansion of Presence in Fledgling Markets by Key Players to Stir Competition Key players in this market are intensely focused on strategically expanding their presence in booming markets in the developing regions around the world. In implementing this strategy, companies are entering into partnerships and undertaking acquisitions with regional players to establish operations in emerging economies.

Industry Developments:

November 2019: Perstorp     announced plans to invest in a new facility in Gujarat, India, to produce     Pentaerythritol (Penta). The plant will allow Perstorp to meet the rising     demand in Asia for its Penta products as well as produce and distribute     calcium formate in the country.

September 2019: CPS Performance     Materials, a portfolio company under Arsenal Capital Partners, announced     the acquisition of GEO Specialty Chemicals. The acquisition will allow CPS     to add GEO’s diverse chemicals and materials for diverse industries such     as water treatment and paints & coatings to its specialty chemicals     portfolio.

NPC leader Rohit Pawar slams UP govt for 'baseless allegation' against Uddhav  

Sharad Pawar's grand-nephew and NCP leader Rohit Pawar took to Twitter to hit out at Yogi Adityanath tweet which alleged that Uddhav Thackeray 'tricked' migrant workers into lockdown, forcing them to return home. 

Pawar in a series of tweets said that the migrant workers the Uttar Pradesh chief minister was talking about had actually insisted on going home, which the Maharashtra government felicitated under the CM-funds. He then shared a video where migrant workers are seeing appreciating the Maharashtra government, about the facilities provided by them while complaining about the lack of basic facilities like water while travelling to their home towns in Uttar Pradesh. 

Pawar also said, "The whole world saw that your government (UP) sprayed medicine on these workers and treated them worse than animals." He also questioned the UP government: "Why did you not raise voice against the central government for not accepting the request of the Maharashtra government to start railways for these workers?"

He further requested the Maharashtra government that when these migrant workers return from back to the state from UP, their registration, police records and health tests should be done. Pawar asked the Yogi Adityanath-led government to join hands with the Maharashtra government for testing these workers instead of making 'baseless allegations' against them.

By 2030, according to the World Cement Association, China’s production is forecasted to contract to 35%, while India’s is set to double to 16%. These changing dynamics augur well for this market as calcium formate is an essential component in cement manufacturing. This compound acts as a setting accelerator for cement, working as an additive to boost the strength of the cement mortar. Thus, rising demand for cement, especially in developing economies, will provide the necessary fuel for the growth of the market for calcium formate.

The report states that the global market value stood at USD 469.4 million in 2019 and also offers the following:

Microscopic analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the     market;

Granular study of the factors and trends shaping the market;

Detailed evaluation of the regional dynamics influencing the     market; and

Market Restraint

Declining Sales & Profits to Hamper Companies’ Investment Plans amid COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had grave implications for the global chemicals industry, which are hurting the calcium formate market growth. Lockdowns, social distancing, and trade restrictions have caused massive disruptions in supply chain networks, while a severe economic downturn has impacted demand and consumption.

As a result, companies in this market are reporting an unprecedented loss of revenue, which in turn has forced them to rethink their investment plans. For instance, in August 2020, the Germany-based specialty chemicals company, Lanxess, sold off its organic leather chemicals business for USD 230 million to TFL Ledertechnik GmbH to reduce its dependence on the automotive industry. With the automotive industry facing an unparalleled demand crunch amid COVID-19, Lanxess’s divesture from the leather business seems prudent. In another example, Sweden-based Perstop AB reported a staggering drop of 32% in its net sales, amounting to SEK 2.08 billion in July 2020, as the company took drastic measures to tackle COVID-19. These adverse developments are likely to stall the adoption of calcium methanoate during the current year.
