Beach Towels Market Key Players and Forecast by 2028

Beach towels are of finer quality and often larger than regular towels as they are largely used to recline on the sand at the beach.

The growing inflow of tourists at beaches is one of the frequent yet important factors boosting the beach towel market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Beach Towels Market

In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value and supply chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Disruptions in the supply chains of key raw materials and irregularities in manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities had a direct impact on the consumer goods industry, which hampered packaging materials’ production and demand. Despite a decline in demand for certain types of packaging, the need for packaging suitable for e-commerce shipments surged in 2020 and 2021. This can be attributed to a rise in online purchases of consumer goods and significant measures taken by governments of various countries.
