IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON LASER DESIGNATOR TARGETING PODS MARKET



With growing defense modernization programs, the requirement for laser designator targeting pods was growing promisingly before the pandemic began. But due to the pandemic of COVID-19, some countries' defense budget was reduced during 2021 owing to expenditure on vaccines, oxygen cylinders, and other healthcare facilities. In 2021, Russia's military expenditure was US$ 65.20 billion which was reduced to US$ 61.71 billion in 2021. Decreased military spending in such major countries affected the demand for laser designator targeting pods to some extent. Limited availability of raw material, temporary manufacturing shutdown, restriction of the limited workforce, and delay in scheduled deliveries have affected the production process negatively. All such limitations negatively impacted the production of digital data recorders, environmental control units, and charged coupled device cameras. Some key companies also saw a drop in their annual revenues. For instance, the annual revenue of Teledyne FLIR LLC went down to US$ 3.08 billion in 2021 from US$ 3.16 billion in 2021.
