Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Flexible Garden Hoses Market

The flexible garden hoses market has been significantly affected by a scarcity of available workers, which has hindered production capacity. On the other side, due to wholesale market closures, manufacturers were forced to rely primarily on supermarkets and e-commerce dealers to advertise their flexible garden hoses products, which has positively affected its demand in the market. Despite the global pandemic, flexible garden hoses sales have witnessed growth. For instance, the popularity of flexible garden hoses has grown across the world due to the rising COVID-19 cases globally. Since, the pandemic has led to a strong resurgence of the gardening hobby as well as increased the awareness regarding the benefits of home garden and clean air. Gardening helps people stay physically and mentally healthy and relieves them from the stress associated with the crisis. Additionally, social distancing and home confinement during the first wave of COVID-19 outbreak were critical in helping governments flatten the infection curve but raised concerns about possible negative consequences, such as prolonged isolation or a sedentary lifestyle. In this scenario, gardening activities have been identified as a reasonable tool to reduce the mental health consequences of home confinement. 

Furthermore, with the opening of several growth markets across the globe, vaccination development, and initiatives taken by governments to support economic and industrial growth, the demand for the flexible garden hoses market is anticipated to grow at a positive pace in the coming years.
