COVID19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Disruption During Pandemic Restrains Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; the market has felt lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth that is reflected in the rise of the CAGR is attributed to the market and demand coming back to pre-pandemic levels.

The pandemic has disrupted supply chains, manufacturing operations, and retail businesses, leading to reduced consumer spending and a lowered demand for non-essential items like die cutting systems. These lock-downs and social distancing resulted in limited shopping activities, which impact sales and their distribution channels. The steel rule die cutting system market has seen a drop in demand and revenue generation ever since the pandemic. Even though the market may revive once things get back to normal, the immediate effect of COVID-19 on the global market has been pretty bad.
