Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on PTC Thermistor Market

South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and Kuwait are the key countries in the Middle East and Africa region that have faced the ill effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of economic operations in the region were suspended due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the region. Many countries in the African region as still in developing states and are not as developed as the countries of the Middle East. The UAE is a well-known tourist place that receives thousands of travelers throughout the year. Since the tourism sector in the country suffered considerable economic losses, due international travel ban, demand for respective electronic appliances and HVAC systems reduced notably. This impacted the demand for respective PTC thermistors. Moreover, the end-user industries in the region are highly dependent on international suppliers and witnessed significant supply chain disruption during Q2 of 2020. However, with the beginning of Q3 of 2020, the demand for various semiconductor products including PTC thermistors started increasing among the end-user industries owing to the re-initiation of the operations.
