Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the drywall panels market was mainly driven by their increasing use in residential and non-residential construction activities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic hampered the growth of the chemicals & materials sector and the drywall panels market. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 negatively impacted the growth of various industries. Builders experienced delays and increased costs for imported raw materials and off-site building materials due to the long-term shutdown of many factories. The damage caused by the impacts of the pandemic on the building & construction industry hampered the demand for drywall panels.
The global marketplace is recovering from the losses as governments of different countries have announced relaxation in the restrictions. Manufacturers are permitted to operate at full capacity, which helps them to overcome the supply gap. This is expected to create a positive impact on the drywall panels market growth.
