COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted Supply Chains Lead to Lower the Market Demand

Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand. Duty-free sales between China, Australia, the United States, and other trading partners are projected to suffer in the near future due to trade conflict and trade protectionism between these nations. Governments are likely to implement a trade protectionist policy to ease social tensions or any unrest brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on employment and social inequality. These factors impacted the market trends in during COVID-19.

LATEST TRENDS

Use in Supermarkets to Decrease Thefts to Augment the Market Demand

Employees may spend more time assisting consumers with their purchases while also avoiding congestion.

DRIVING FACTORS

Installation in Schools, Jails and Hospitals to Boost the Market Growth for Retailer Turnstiles.

Swing gates, sometimes known as retailer turnstiles or retailer gates, are typically composed of metal and have two leaves that swing toward one another to provide an entry or exit. Additionally, they may be equipped with locks, alarms, and other security measures. Some models even have the ability to count the number of individuals that walk through them. When a full-height turnstile gate cannot be built because of a lack of space, swing gates are utilized instead. In facilities like jails, schools, and hospitals where limited space precludes the use of other types of turnstiles, they are frequently employed.

Employment in Stadiums to Help Traffic to Push the Market Growth

Customer passage via a waist-high helicopter retailer turnstile makes it the perfect choice for usage in retail establishments. Knee-high Helicopter Turnstiles aid in managing the flow of customers into and out of the establishment while also assisting in keeping track of who is doing both.
