Impact of COVID19
The World Health Organization (WHO) now considers the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. Developing countries are particularly at risk of COVID-19 due to a reduction in the labor force, which affects economies and livelihoods as well as a reduction in production operations. Due to the high infection rate and adverse impact on public health systems, various governments have enforced nationwide lockdowns significantly impacting manufacturing supply chains, trade, and related services. Considering that most of these industries have been impacted due by the lockdown, it is expected that the demand would also get impacted going forward. Production and operation, and infrastructural development activities have slowed down on account of the spreading of coronavirus, which is further anticipated to impact the demand for the sanitary ware market. Due to covid-19, there is a rise in demand for sanitary ware for better cleaning and maintaining proper hygiene across the surrounding. The rise in good sanitary products will drive the market in the upcoming year.
