IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AUTOMOTIVE RETARDER MARKET
COVID-19 severely impacted the automobile industry by the end of 2021 as there were several travel bans and other lockdown related restrictions imposed across the globe. The impact of the pandemic extends to all segments of the automobile and transportation industry, including Automotive Retarder manufacturers. As a result of travel restrictions and economic slowdown due to the pandemic and the consequent fall in demand, automotive manufacturers have been focusing on reducing costs and expenses, which includes cutting back on production spending.
