The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

While the pandemic had disrupted supply chains, resulting in the temporary shutdown of manufacturing plants, aggregate demand for drumheads did not rise significantly. The reason for this is that live concerts, music shows, and all events that would call for the use or demand of new drumheads were canceled. However, some offsetting demand came from hobbyists and home-based musicians who began or increased their drumming activities during the lockdowns. Overall, the market declined, rather than experiencing the sharp surge that might have been expected in other sectors.

These heads are normally thinner heads and can either be clear or coated, depending on the kind of sound that one wants to get. The resonant heads control the drum's overtones and are essential for getting a balanced and harmonious sound in studio and live performances.
