COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered Market Growth and Development 

The pandemic has also caused supply chain disruptions and manufacturing delays, affecting the ability of aerofoil producers to meet production schedules and fulfil orders. Furthermore, in order to secure the health and safety of their personnel, aerofoil producers have had to incorporate stringent safety measures, which has increased costs and reduced productivity.

Furthermore, the epidemic has resulted in a drop in oil costs, which has influenced demand for fuel-efficient aircraft and, as a result, aerofoils. Aerofoil makers have had to adjust to these issues by lowering production capacity and applying cost-cutting methods.

Despite the pandemic's obstacles, the worldwide aerofoil market is projected to grow in the long run as the aviation industry slowly recovers. Furthermore, the desire for more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft is projected to drive demand for aerofoils in the coming years, and technical improvements are expected to make aerofoils even more efficient and lightweight, increasing market growth in the coming years.
