Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Functional Shots Market

Various industries, including food & beverages, suffered severe disruptions due to disturbances in supply chains and shutdowns of production plants amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown of various manufacturing plants and factories in regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa negatively impacted the supply chains, manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales. Many businesses announced possible delays in product deliveries and slumps in their future sales. Thus, suspended operations in various industries hindered the functional shots market growth in 2020.

On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic altered global consumer preferences as health became their top priority. The preferences for beverages with functional benefits, along with the demand for products with organic ingredients, increased. Moreover, the demand for functional shots with additional health benefits such as immunity boosting, detox, and gut health surged to promote health and wellness. This factor triggered the demand for functional shots. However, severe distribution network disruptions and business shutdowns resulted in a demand and supply gap in the world.
