KEY FINDINGS

Covid-19 Impact

Government-Imposed Travel Bans And Lockdowns Hampered The World's Supply Chain

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with gear inspection machines experiencing higher-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.

Since the beginning of 2020, most countries have closed their borders and placed restrictions on travel in an effort to control the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has impeded international trade and tourism. This temporarily decreased demand for gear inspection machines by disturbing the supply chains for the market as a result of the unpredictability of the global economy and capital markets. Furthermore, it has been estimated that between 60 and 75 percent will come from the main segment of the medical device industry, which comprises, among other things, imaging machine, dental care tools, and surgical items. The growth rate will be constant or much lower in 2020 and the first few quarters of 2021. The pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, has benefited from the pandemic, with a steady increase in the manufacturing of nasal drug delivery machine and an increasing focus on vaccine research leading to increase in gear inspection machine market growth.
