GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING Guitar Combo Amplifiers Market COVID-19 IMPACT

Guitar Combo Amplifiers Market  Had a Negative Effect Due To Supply Chain Disruption During COVID-19 Pandemic

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 the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic was devastating to the Guitar Combo Amplifiers Market since the disruptions in the manufacturing and supply chains were able to bring all its operations to a halt. The factories were shut down, and raw materials began to become scarce. Therefore, the production schedules delayed and reduced inventory levels together with higher costs. There was a further drop in retail sales since the shutdown of music stores and the near cancellation of live performances. This led to low demand for amplifiers by the musicians and event venues.
