COVID-19 Impact

Supply Chain Disruptions during Pandemic Restrain Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented and staggering for the market, and it had lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to the pre-pandemic level. The rise in CAGR reflected by the sudden market growth was due to the fact that the growth and demand for the market returned back to their pre-pandemic level.

Supply chains, manufacturing operations, and retail businesses had been disrupted due to the pandemic, and the adverse result was less consumer spending and less demand for goods such as gourmet mushrooms, which are mostly classified as non-essential items. This also impacted sales and distribution channels, as the opportunities to dine out reduced due to the lockdowns and social distancing measures. Therefore, demand was impacted, and revenue for the shaggy markets was also hit during the pandemic. Though the market might recover, the net change in the market was quite negative in the interim period.
