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 drastically affected the market for Linear Friction Welders, which thus showed constrained growth primarily because of supply chain disruptions across the world. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and shutdowns affected production and distribution of key components. This resulted in delays and shortages in the availability of linear friction welders. Major consumers of these welding technologies, sectors relating to automobile and aerospace, experienced a downward spiral in demand due to the slowdown in production and postponement of projects. Besides, there were added uncertainties of world economic conditions and fluctuating raw material costs that further troubled the market. Despite all setbacks, the market is gradually picking up as industries get used to new operational norms and supply chains are restored. The pandemic highlighted more resilient and flexible supply chain strategies that could avoid disruptions in the future for steady market growth.
