KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Hampered Market Demand due to Disruptions in Supply Chains

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

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to delays in the production and delivery of electric wheelbarrows and their components. Factory shutdowns, transportation limitations, and restrictions on international trade all contributed to these disruptions. Electrical wheelbarrows are commonly used in construction and landscaping activities. With lockdowns, restrictions on construction projects, and economic uncertainty, the demand for construction-related equipment, may have declined.  The pandemic altered consumer behaviour and priorities. People may have shifted their spending away from home improvement projects, which could impact the market. Conversely, there might have been an increased focus on home gardening and DIY projects. Many businesses and individuals adopted remote work and social distancing measures. This could impact the need for electrical wheelbarrows in commercial and industrial settings, while there might have been increased demand from individuals seeking to maintain or upgrade their outdoor spaces.
