KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 impact: Lockdowns and Strict Restrictions Reduced the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 was one such deadly disease that affected the entire world and all the industries. The cleanroom air filter industry also became a victim of the pandemic. During COVID-19 there were many restrictions and lockdowns that were imposed. This became a major backdrop for the use of these filtration systems.

During the lockdown there was a significant decrease in the production of cleanroom air filters. With the low production there was a dip in the sales of this product as well. Along with this, the disruption in the supply chain and unavailability of raw materials heavily affected the market growth. This considerably brought down the demand for the product causing a decrease in the market growth.

This was the major reason for the downfall of the cleanroom air filters market share during the pandemic. However, post the pandemic the market recovered quickly and is anticipated to grow well in the upcoming years.
