KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disruption of the Global Supply Chain Led to the Shortage of Raw Materials

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the mobile waterproof bag market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2031, a robust CAGR during the forecast period. 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 market for mobile waterproof bags has suffered a number of setbacks as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic. The disruption to the global supply chain, which had led to a shortage of raw materials and delays in manufacturing, was one of the most significant effects. Due to the increasing demand and restricted supply, this caused a shortage of waterproof bags in some markets and increased costs for various goods. Although many people were financially impacted by job losses or decreased income, the epidemic also resulted in a decrease in consumer expenditure. As a result, less people were in need of non-essential things such as waterproof bags, which decreased manufacturers' sales.
