KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hampered the Market Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with RF inductors market experiencing lower-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.

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, causing delays in the production and delivery of electronic components, including RF inductors. Factory closures, transportation restrictions, and material shortages affected the availability of these components. The demand for RF inductor, like many other electronic components, experienced fluctuations during the pandemic. Industries, like automotive and consumer electronics, faced reduced demand. Many manufacturers faced challenges in maintaining production due to lockdowns, social distancing measures, and labor shortages. These factors impacted the production capacity of these inductors. Fluctuations in the availability of raw materials, coupled with increased demand, led to price volatility in the RF inductor market. Some manufacturers had to adjust their pricing strategies to cope with these changes.
