Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Traction Inverter Market 

Global automotive sales profoundly influence the overall growth of several associated vehicle sub-systems and components, including automotive traction inverters. As the pandemic broke out globally, it impacted the sales of numerous industrial verticals. The global business revenues of auto components and automotive technologies observed a stark decline during the April to June period across regions in 2020. Factors such as nationwide lockdowns plummeted demand for passenger vehicles and significantly imposed restrictions on import & export of goods, which also slowed the production capabilities of several automotive OEMs, thereby impacting the global market growth. However, the market registered a steady and favorable recovery following the subsequent months, as the passenger vehicle sales grew, especially in the initial months of 2021. Hence, during the pandemic, the global market witnessed a moderate to a high contraction in demand across various countries.
