Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Laminated Glass Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. It directly affected the production, led to disruptions in supply chain, and subsequently impacted the financial status of firms and the global economy. Similarly, the laminated glass market was facing difficulties due to a shortfall in production and the insufficiency of transportation facilities. Many factories and manufacturers had to suspend or slow down glass production. Restarting factories after being closed or performing suboptimally for an extended period may be exceptionally challenging, especially if the companies aren't operating with full capacity due to health and safety regulations. Moreover, due to difficulties in locating and obtaining glass, the laminated glass business has suffered a significant setback. Thus, a low demand from end-user industries during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to slowdown in the growth of the laminated glass market.
