- In Japan, major construction companies, such as Shimizu, Kajima, Obayashi, Taisei, and Daiwa House, suspended construction work. Although the government has begun to ease its measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict to what extent work will return to normal. In recent years, before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number and volume of construction and infrastructure projects in Japan had been increasing. As Japan recovers from the pandemic, construction and infrastructure projects should also re-commence. These factors are expected to lead to an increase in the demand for adhesives and sealants.
