In terms of COVID impact, Galaxy Surfactants said the company's products have been classified as essential items as they are used for cleaning and sanitizing purposes. The company does not expect any substantial contraction in the demand for its products post COVID 19 as they are used in manufacture of consumer cleaning products in home and personal care. The company does not expect demand for premium category specialty products being impacted by down trading due to decline in consumer incomes. Business will get impacted to the extent operations are impacted on account of restrictions on movement of cargo, Galaxy Surfactants said.

These products are used in consumer-centric Home and Personal care products like hair care, oral care, skin care, cosmetics, soap, shampoo, lotion, detergent, cleaning products etc
