COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the square metal tube market share, as it has disrupted the supply chain, reduced the demand, and increased the production costs.  The lockdown measures imposed by various governments to contain the spread of the virus have affected the availability and transportation of raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and copper, which are essential for the manufacturing of them. The demand for them has declined in several end-use industries, such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas, due to the reduced economic activity and consumer spending. The production of them has faced challenges due to the labor shortages, social distancing norms, and health and safety regulations imposed by the authorities. The prices of them have increased due to the higher costs of raw materials, energy, and logistics

LATEST TRENDS

Smart Features in the Market to Drive Market Growth
