Ethylene carbonate is primarily used in lithium battery electrolytes and lubricants. Lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles owing to their higher energy density. These batteries use a combination of anode and cathode materials based on features such as cost, lifespan, safety, and performance, among others. Ethylene carbonate is also used in other applications such as organic solvents, capacitor electrolytes, fiber processing agents, soil hardening agents, and medical products, among others.

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the growth of the market due to operational challenges, transportation delays, and travel restrictions. The oil and gas, manufacturing, and plastic industries have been severely affected by the pandemic and have experienced disruption of the supply chain, the shutdown of factories, and workforce impairment.

The automotive industry has experienced reduced demand for commercial and personal vehicles and the closure of stores due to lockdowns and roadblocks across the globe. Battery manufacturing activities have also been halted due to various government regulations across the world. Restrictions on imports of goods to curb the spread of the virus have further contributed to restricting the market growth.
