Impact of COVID–19 Pandemic on Military Personal Protective Equipment Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The military products and equipment manufacturing industry is heavily dependent on manual labor. In the wake of strong lockdown regulations imposed by the majority of the countries across the globe, the military equipment manufacturing sector is experiencing a significantly lower number of labors in respective manufacturing facilities. Major military spenders allocate close to or over 2 percent of their GDP, a significant amount, to military. However, several governments are deprioritizing defense spending, owing to the emergence of pandemic; instead, a majority of the governments are focusing on investing toward combatting the spread of virus. This factor is also anticipated to weaken the production of various defense equipment during 2020, thereby hindering the growth of military personal protective equipment (PPE) market. The COVID-19 outbreak impacted the supply chain of the military personal protective equipment, and governments are focusing majorly on medical sector and moderately on military sector; this is impacting the growth of the military personal protective equipment (PPE) market.
