KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained By Pandemic Due To Supply Chain Disruptions

The growth of the hoverkarts market was greatly held back by the Covid-19 pandemic due to unprecedented supply chain disturbances. Slowdowns in production, restrictions on global trade, and paucity of chief raw materials were the main causes of a delay in production and delivery timelines that ultimately affected supply in the market. Hoverkarts, as recreational and non-essential goods, saw lessened demand because people stuck only to the purchasing of essential goods amidst the pandemic. These were related to massive cutbacks in the demands for personal transportation and leisure items like the hoverkart. Further, numerous commercial entertainment venues, including amusement parks and rental businesses, still remain closed, which has had an additional impact on the commercial segment of this market. However, the market is beginning to resume with the easing of restrictions and resumption of activities outdoors. The same sector is expected to bounce back with improvements occurring in the supply chain, pent-up consumer demands, and innovations of eco-friendly personal transportation solutions.

LATEST TRENDS

Off-Road Hoverkarts To Drive Market

One of the current trends in the hoverkarts market is that off-road hoverkarts are witnessing an increase in demand.
