Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the consumer goods industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. Due to the pandemic-induced economic recession, consumers became more cautious and selective in their purchasing decisions. Non-essential purchases were significantly reduced by consumers due to lower incomes and uncertain earning prospects, especially in developing regions. Due to travel bans and border restrictions, recreational activities reduced dramatically, which hampered the sales of various fishing gear and equipment.
Many manufacturers of fishing equipment faced decline in profits due to reduced consumer demand during the initial phase of pandemic. However, by the end of 2021, many countries were fully vaccinated, and governments announced relaxation in certain regulations including lockdowns and travel bans. People started travelling to different places and participated in various recreational activities including fishing, boosting the fishing equipment demand. All these factors had a positive impact in the growth of fishing equipment market across different regions.
