COVID-19 Impact: Initial Disruption and Consumer Uncertainty Halted the Market

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and economic uncertainty led to reduced consumer spending. However, as people sought safe and socially distanced recreational activities, there was a shift in demand toward outdoor activities similar to fishing and camping. This led to increased interest in outdoor equipment, including cooler boxes. Considering this, the market is anticipated to witness an excellent growth rate in the coming years.
