KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained due to Scarcity of Parts and Materials

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.

Many of the effects that occurred in the market for this soldering station because of COVID-19 were negative. The disruption of the supply chain resulted in scarcity of parts and materials from which social needs are made, delays in manufacture, and high costs. Furthermore, the worldwide recession in the last year decreased consumers and businesses’ revenues, forcing them to cut back on capital and other essential services, thus affecting demand. Even operations and manufacturing facilities shut down or implemented constrictions due to health measures, which again impacted the production strength.
